Morphological, anatomical, and micromorphological features of pseudonectaries To understand the morphological nature of pseudonectaries, we first performed morphological, anatomical, and micromorphological studies. Under stereomicroscope, petals of N. damascena appear to be long-stalked, hair-bearing, doubly geniculated, and vertically bilabiate structures (Fig. 2a, b). Pseudonectaries, which are located at the distal geniculate bend of the lower petal lip, […] More

Study site This study was conducted at the Abisko Scientific Research Station (68°21′17.0′′ N; 18°48′54′′ E) about 200 km north of the Arctic Circle. The station is located within the sporadic permafrost zone, with a mean annual temperature around 0 °C and mean annual precipitation of 335 mm (1981–2010, Abisko Scientific Research Station, 380 m.a.s.l). Common garden experiment We […] More
Prevalence of E. coli and their antibiotic susceptibility Escherichia coli prevalence (colony-forming unit (CFU) ml−1) was observed in the Kelani River from upstream (K1; Seethawaka Export Processing Zone [EPZ]) to downstream (K4; Ambathale intake) (Table 1). We did not observe the large change in the range of prevalence of total coliform in October (23–31 CFU ml−1) and March […] More
