Tolerance to Low Temperature of Wild, Semi-cultivated, and Cultivated Poinsettia Genotypes

Variation in salt tolerance of cultivated (hordeum vulgare L.)and wild (H. spontaneum C. koch)barley genotypes from iran

Rhizodeposition-induced decomposition increases N availability to wild and cultivated wheat genotypes under elevated CO2

ElevatedCO2may increasenutrient availability in the rhizospherebystimulatingNrelease fromrecalcitrant soil organic matter (SOM) pools through enhanced rhizodeposition. We aimed to elucidate how CO2induced increases in rhizodeposition affect N release from recalcitrant SOM, and howwild versus cultivated genotypes of wheat mediated differential responses in soil N cycling under elevated CO2. To q...

Proteomic and genomic characterization of Kunitz trypsin inhibitors in wild and cultivated soybean genotypes.

In this study, we investigated protein and genetic profiles of Kunitz trypsin inhibitors (KTIs) in seeds of 16 different soybean genotypes that included four groups consisting of wild soybean (Glycine soja), the cultivated soybean (G. max) ancestors of modern N. American soybean cultivars (old), modern N. American soybean (elite), and Asian cultivated soybean landraces that were the immediate r...

Evaluation of Wild Lentil Species as Genetic Resources to Improve Drought Tolerance in Cultivated Lentil

Increasingly unpredictable annual rainfall amounts and distribution patterns have far reaching implications for pulse crop biology. Seedling and whole plant survival will be affected given that water is a key factor in plant photosynthesis and also influences the evolving disease spectrum that affects crops. The wild relatives of cultivated lentil are native to drought prone areas, making them ...

Morphological Changes in Response to Drought Stress in Cultivated and Wild Almond Species

This study was undertaken to identify morphological changes in young seedlings of 5 Iranian almond species (Prunus dulcis, P. eburnea, P. eleagnifolia, P. haussknechti, and P. scoparia) under polyethylene glycol-induced drought stress. Drought stress caused a significant reduction in plant growth parameters such as fresh and dry weights of plant organs, leaf number, total leaf area, and leaf re...
