The identification of patterns in life-history strategies across the tree of life is essential to our prediction of population persistence, extinction, and diversification. Plants exhibit a wide range of patterns of longevity, growth, and reproduction, but the general determinants of this enormous variation in life history are poorly understood. We use demographic data from 418 plant species in...

genetic diversity is essential in the implementation of breeding programs. in order to determine genetic diversity, factor analysis and heritability of yield and some morphological traits, 20 strawberry cultivars were studied at the agricultural station of kurdistan research center using a randomized complete block design with three replications. morphological characteristics such as number of ...

1. Climate change will cause changes in average temperature and precipitation as well as increased fluctuations around the mean, yet few studies have considered the impacts of altered climate variability on plant populations. We tested whether life-history traits (expected life span, generation time and seed size) can predict plant responses to increased environmental variability across similar...

We analysed the relationship between seed traits (weight, shape and dispersal structures) and the abundance and habitat segregation of Mediterranean grassland species. To take into account possible correlations with other plant traits, the study also includes 5 vegetative traits (growth form, plant longevity, clonality, onset of flowering and plant size) of commonly accepted functional importan...

The current study was undertaken to analyze the genetic variability, correlation and path for yield its attributing traits at agriculture research farm, Department of Genetics Plant Breeding, School Agriculture, Lovely Professional University, Punjab during Rabi 2021-22 2022-23. Augmented design with F2 seeds planted in ear row fashion 4 rows were used including 2 parent 6 F2’s 9 viz. plant hei...

Domestication can influence many functional traits in plants, from overall life-history and growth form to wood density and cell wall ultrastructure. Such changes can increase fitness of the domesticate in agricultural environments but may negatively affect survival in the wild. We studied effects of domestication on stem biomechanics in manioc by comparing domesticated and ancestral wild taxa ...
