Microsatellite markers previously developed for other leguminous species were tested cross-genus transferability and evaluated their potential usefulness in providing an improved assessment of the genetic relationships between two closely related taxa belonging to Onobrychis genus (Fabaceae). Candidate microsatellite polymorphism replicability sixteen populations O. montana DC. subsp. transsilv...

Climate change affects means, variances and the intrinsic predictability of climate. However, experimental tests how changes in climatic plant traits, allocation strategies selective regime acting on them are scarce, as well evidence for importance root functional traits to cope with uncertainty. Here, we experimentally manipulated daily inter-seasonal precipitation-predictabilities tested thei...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Regarding the importance of finding new antibacterial drugs, screening of plants as a promising resource are now conducted worldwide. In this study, we report the application of a simple previously described method for screening of different plant seeds in order to find the best resources of plant antimicrobial peptides. MATERIALS AND METHODS Total water soluble prot...

Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) is a perennial forage crop with desirable properties adapted to temperate climate conditions. The purpose of this research was study the phenotypic correlation coefficients between dry yield and some morphological traits, identify direct indirect effects associated traits. Thus, 32 ecotypes (landraces) were assessed in randomized complete block design layo...
