Botanical seminar: Clonal or sexual – the evolutionary dance of blackberries

In flowering plants, successful seed development depends on a precisely balanced ratio of maternal and paternal genomes in the endosperm (2m:1p). Apomictic plants often disrupt this balance, which can reduce seed fitness. Our study shows that apomictic blackberries can overcome this limitation and produce larger seeds with potentially higher fitness than their sexual counterparts.

Botanical seminar: Diversity of vascular plants of Slovak cities

Through field surveys, we compared the occurrence of vascular plants in different types of urban habitats - from city centres and railways to cemeteries and floodplains. In total, over 1000 plant species were recorded, of which one third were invasive species and 7% were Red-listed species. The results help to effectively monitor the status of urban vegetation and show that even ordinary urban habitats can harbour a surprisingly diverse flora. Can you guess which parts of the city boast the greatest biodiversity?

Speaker: Richard Hrivnák (Institute of Botany SAS)
