	abstract = {Using matK and rbcL sequences (3,269 bp in total) from 113 genera of 45 families, we conducted a combined analsysis to contribute to the understanding of major evolutionary relationships in the monocotyledons. Trees resulting from the parsimony analysis are similar to those generated by earlier single or multiple gene analyses, but their strict consensus tree provides much better resolution of relationships among major clades. We find that Acorus (Acorales) is a sister group to the rest of the monocots, which receives 100\% bootstrap support. A clade comprising Alismatales is diverged as the next branch, followed successively by Petrosaviaceae, the Dioscoreales-Pandanales clade, Liliales, Asparagales and commelinoids. All of these clades are strongly supported (with more than 90\% bootstrap support). The sister-group relationship ...},

	abstract = {Effects of salinity and temperature were examined on the seed germination of an endangered halophyte in Japan, Triglochin maritimum (Juncaginaceae). Germination tests were carried out at three salinity levels (0, 200, 400 mM NaCl) in which seeds were exposed to increasing or decreasing temperatures. Effects of moist-chilling pretreatment (stratification) in 0, 200 and 400 mM NaCl on seed germination at 0, 200 and 400 mM NaCl, respectively, were also examined. Under the highest salinity condition (400 mM NaCl), no germination was observed. The seeds germinated very well (88\%) in fresh-water after 5-month moist-chilling pretreatment. Longer moist-chilling pretreatment resulted in higher germination percentages. Moist chilling pretreatment in 0, 200 and 400 mM NaCl for 5 month enhanced germination percentages to 10\% (in 400 mM NaCl) - 88\% (in 0 mM NaCl).},
