Only seed size matters for germination in different populations of the dimorphic Tragopogon pratensis subsp. pratensis (Asteraceae).
Many studies have focused on the ecology of seed dimorphism, the production of two seed types by a single plant. Morphology and seed size are usually correlated, but how morphology affects germination percentage and seedling growth is poorly understood. Here we explicitly separate these effects for nine populations of the dimorphic species Tragopogon pratensis subsp. pratensis. Larger seeds yie...
متن کاملThe antioxidant, hemolytic and cholinesterase inhibition properties of Galium verum L. and Tragopogon pratensis subsp. pratensis
The antioxidant properties of Galium verum L. (Lady’s Bedstraw) and Tragopogon pratensis subsp. pratensis (Goat’s beard) methanol extracts, from localities in Serbia were evaluated, through determination of total phenolics and flavonoids content, as well as DPPH • (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging, ABTS •+ (2,2-azinobis-(3ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical cation deco...
متن کاملMorphologic and Aerodynamic Considerations Regarding the Plumed Seeds of Tragopogon pratensis and Their Implications for Seed Dispersal
Tragopogon pratensis is a small herbaceous plant that uses wind as the dispersal vector for its seeds. The seeds are attached to parachutes that increase the aerodynamic drag force and increase the total distance travelled. Our hypothesis is that evolution has carefully tuned the air permeability of the seeds to operate in the most convenient fluid dynamic regime. To achieve final permeability,...
متن کاملOpposing Actions of Light in Seed Germination of Poa pratensis and Amaranthus arenicola.
Action spectra were measured for suppression of germination of Poa pratensis L. and Amaranthus arenicola I. M. Johnston seed under prolonged or continuous irradiation. The action maxima for both types of seeds are near 720 nm. The maxima are unchanged in position or magnitude in the presence of radiation in the region of 600 to 670 nm adequate to maintain phytochrome predominantly in the far-re...
متن کاملPhenolic compounds from Allium schoenoprasum, Tragopogon pratensis and Rumex acetosa and their antiproliferative effects.
Experimental studies have shown that phenolic compounds have antiproliferative and tumour arresting effects. The aim of this original study was to investigate the content of phenolic compounds (PhC) in flowers of Allium schoenoprasum (chive), Tragopogon pratensis (meadow salsify) and Rumex acetosa (common sorrel) and their effect on proliferation of HaCaT cells. Antiproliferative effects were e...
