UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY New microsatellite primers were developed for the diploid herb Anthyllis vulneraria. These primers will be used in upcoming studies focusing on random genetic variation, local adaptation, and phenotypic plasticity in alpine plants. • METHODS AND RESULTS The new primers were adjusted to separate PCR amplicons (70 to 170 bp) on precast Spreadex gels using hori...

Alpine plants are considered to be particularly vulnerable to climate change and related extreme episodes, such as heat waves. Despite growing interest in the impact of heat waves on alpine plants, knowledge about their effects on regeneration is still fragmentary. Recruitment from seeds will be crucial for the successful migration and survival of these species and will play a key role in their...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Distinguishing the contributions of phenotypic plasticity vs. population differentiation to variation in the life history of plants throughout their range is important for predicting their performance after dispersal or their responses to environmental change. In Erysimum capitatum, plants in alpine environments are iteroparous perennials, but those below tree line are seme...

Plants and their pollinators form pollination networks integral to the evolution and persistence of species in communities. Previous studies suggest that pollination network structure remains nested while network composition is highly dynamic. However, little is known about temporal variation in the structure and function of plant-pollinator networks, especially in species-rich communities wher...

Legumes are flowering plants that produce seedpods. They have colonized several ecosystems (from rain forests and arctic/alpine regions to deserts; Schrire et al., 2005), and have been found in most of the archaeological record of plants. Early in 37 B.C. Varro said “Legumes should be planted in light soils, not so much for their own crop as for the good they do to subsequent crops” (Graham & V...

The subject study is grown on territory which are a part open ground plants. species varieties this group were introduced arboretum from 1949 to 2021. In process research, methods analysis synthesis, comp...

Worldwide, many plant species are experiencing an earlier onset of spring phenophases due to climate warming. Rapid recent temperature increases on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) have triggered changes in the spring phenology of the local vegetation. However, remote sensing studies of the land surface phenology have reached conflicting interpretations about green-up patterns observed on the TP since ...

Membrane lipids, which determine the integrity and fluidity of membranes, are sensitive to environmental changes. The influence of stresses, such as cold and phosphorus deficiency, on lipid metabolism is well established. However, little is known about how plant lipid profiles change in response to environmental changes during introduction, especially when plants are transferred from extreme co...
