Environmental filtering prevents species without certain attributes from occurring in local communities. Traits respond differently to different abiotic factors, assembling communities with varying composition along environmental gradients. Here, we measured proxies of soil fertility, disturbance by fire, response and physiological traits to assess how these variables interact to determine wood...

<p><strong>Background. </strong>For the Guatemalan culture, avocado (<em>Persea americana</em> Mill) represents more than a crop, since it has religious, mythical, economical, and medicinal significance typical of center domestication species. Although there is speculation about wide variability wild germplasm, are no studies describing populations. <strong>O...

The identification and fine mapping of robust quantitative trait loci (QTLs)/genes governing important agro-morphological traits in chickpea still lacks systematic efforts at a genome-wide scale involving wild Cicer accessions. In this context, an 834 simple sequence repeat and single-nucleotide polymorphism marker-based high-density genetic linkage map between cultivated and wild parental acce...

Background: Summer savory (Satureja hortensis L.) is one of the most important medicinal and spice plants cultivated in many parts of the world. Objective: A greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effects of FeSO4 and citric acid application on the morphological traits and essential oil content and its component, gamma-terpinene in S. hortensis. Methods: FeSO4 in four levels (0, 3, ...

The genetic diversity of agro-morphogenic traits in 14 genotypes soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) were studied an experiment using a Complete randomizes Design (CRD). Each trait's analysis variance revealed substantial difference between genotypes. Multivariate based on thirteen characters fourteen was divided into four clusters. maximum contribution towards observed by days to 50% flowering, pla...
