Little is known about how cultivation legacies affect the outcome of rehabilitation seedings in the Great Basin, even though both frequently co-occur on the same lands. Similarly, there is little known about how these legacies affect native species reestablishment into these seedings. We examined these legacy effects by comparing areas historically cultivated and seeded to adjacent areas that w...

Panax ginseng is the most widely used herbal medicine for improving cognitive functions. The pharmacological activity and underlying mechanisms of mountain-cultivated ginseng, however, have yet to be clearly elucidated, in particular, against trimethyltin-induced cognitive dysfunction. We previously reported that interleukin-6 plays a protective role against trimethyltin-induced cognitive dysfu...

Wild accessions of crops and landraces are valuable genetic resources for plant breeding and for conserving alleles and gene combinations in planta. The primary genepool of cultivated common beans includes wild accessions of Phaseolus vulgaris. These are of the same species as the domesticates and therefore are easily crossable with cultivated accessions. Molecular marker assessment of wild bea...

This Paper uses MODIS data to monitor and evaluate cultivated land changes in Yangtze River Delta region. Firstly, In order to validate the veracity of the classification results by MODIS, Hangzhou city is selected as the experimental area, Spot5 and Landsat scenes in 2001 and 2005 are collected and used to conduct initial validation exercises to assess the quality of land use classification re...

The genus Saccharum consists of two wild and four cultivated species. Novel interspersed sequences were isolated from cultivated sugar cane S. officinarum. These sequences were accumulated in all four cultivated species and their wild ancestral species S. robustum, but were not detected in the other wild species S. spontaneum and the relative Erianthus arundinaceus. The species-specific accumul...

The presented review discusses current situation with heavy metal pollution in the various regions of Ukraine and possible important crop. It is suggested that violent conflict 2022 may cause development polluted areas Pb, Ni, Cr, Cu. Especially such tendency dangerous for Ukrainian high level metals where military was an active phase: Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Kyiv, Lugansk, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson,...

We identified 82489 high-quality genome-wide SNPs from 93 wild and cultivated Cicer accessions through integrated reference genome- and de novo-based GBS assays. High intra- and inter-specific polymorphic potential (66-85%) and broader natural allelic diversity (6-64%) detected by genome-wide SNPs among accessions signify their efficacy for monitoring introgression and transferring target trait...
