The combination of horizontal slab-gel electrophoresis and in situ assay of enzyme activity is a versatile and powerful method for detecting protein variants (isozymes and allozymes) in plants. Such variants are potentially useful as genetic markers for mapping chromosomes and in studies of breeding systems,1 population structure,2,3 gene flow,4 polyploidy,5,6 and systematics.7-9... 

Parrots have a monogamous breeding system, in which the male and female are faithful to each other, sometimes for life. The nest is usually located in a hollow in a tree. That cavity may have been developed naturally...

Whether these are caused by the wind dispersal itself, by limitations related to the breeding system of the different fern species or by a combination of factors is unclear. More work on historical biogeography of the different fern lineages is needed but already it seems clear that for ferns the Baas Becking hypothesis can be rejected.

In the long term, therefore, the development of breeding systems is a must. In the short term, where emphasis is on fuel costs rather than (in neutron economy and fertile-material utilization, converters rather than breeders may predominate.
