UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Primula halleri is a high alpine endemic species with a patchy distribution in Central and Eastern European mountains. Little is known about the structure of genetic variation and mating system in populations of this species. • METHODS AND RESULTS We report on the development of 12 novel, polymorphic microsatellite loci for P. halleri. Tests for amplificatio...

A method of in vitro clonal propagation of cowslip Primula veris L. (Primulaceae) is reported. This is a species of medicinal importance, protected by law in Poland. MS medium Murashige and Skoog (1962) with 6 benzyladenine BA (4.44 μM) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid 2,4-D (1.13 μM) was found to be optimal for in vitro cowslip propagation from shoot tips under the conditions of culture. Roo...

Abstract Spatiotemporal variations in plant-pollinator interactions drive floral evolution and shape the diversity of flowers angiosperms. However, potential role driving differentiation across flowering times within a population has not been documented. In this study, we aimed to quantify pollinator-mediated selection traits different Primula sikkimensis (an entomophilous plant) two natural po...

Arial parts of Primula genus (Primulaceae) are well known to treat various ailments in Iranian Traditional Medicine. Our preliminary studies showed that the medium polar to polar extracts of Primula auriculata had a significant cytotoxic activity and Induction of apoptosis effects on some cancerous cell lines. The current study focused on phytochemical investigation and characterization the com...

The attitude of policymakers and designers of green space is increasing toward to native-ornamental species to plant in the urban space because of their adaptation and resistance against severe weather and ecological conditions which can result in cost minimization and long-term survival in green spaces. Hence, the current study was carried out in the west of Mazandaran Province on three wild a...
