Architecture, size, and reproduction in plants : a pollination study of Mertensia ciliata (James) G. Don

Creator:: Geber, Monica
Abstract:: I experimentally test the hypothesis that the potential for selfing increases with plant size in Mertensia ciliata (Boraginaceae), a self-compatible, profusely-flowering perennial. This follows from the premises that 1) pollen dispersal by pollinators between flowers is limited, and 2) individual pollinators, in this study bumblebees, will visit more flowers per...

Exploratory studies of the mechanism of 1,3 sigmatropic ring expansion reactions

Creator:: James, Corinne Patricia
Abstract:: The potassium salts of certain 1-vinylcycloalk-3-en-l-ols have been found to undergo sigmatropic ring expansion rearrangements in HMPA. Preliminary investigations of several benzo-substituted medium ring systems were undertaken in order to determine which of these was best suited for further study. A synthetic sequence leading to the formation of 5-methy1-6-viny1-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-6-benzocyclo-octenol, which...
