Development of a green belt with suitable plant species around the source of emission can mitigate the atmospheric contamination. Selection of such plant species are required to combat air pollution based on their tolerance level. Present study was undertaken to evaluate the tolerance level of higher plants in East of Esfahan city, Iran, during 2011 in terms of assessing Air Pollution Tolerance...

Abstract Seed dormancy is a mechanism of long survival that ecologically important for seed propagation and dispersal the expansion plant populations. The impermeability coat in Fabaceae family due to layer sclerotic cells. Two experiments were conducted investigate effect different treatment on germination parameters seedling growth Cercis siliquastrum Spartium junceum. Experimental treatments...

The eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis L.) is a popular woody ornamental plant native to eastern North America that is planted in the landscape chiefly for its showy early spring bloom. The genus Cercis (family Fabaceae) contains, depending on author, 7 to 13 species or subspecies that occur in North America, Europe, and Asia (4,7,8). Species range in size from small shrubs to trees, tolerate fu...

The phylogeny of Cercis (Fabaceae) was estimated with DNA sequences of the nuclear ribosomal ITS region and the 39 end of the chloroplast gene ndhF. The combined analysis recovers three trees in which a well supported clade of North American and western Eurasian species is nested within a paraphyletic group of Chinese species. In the single most unambiguously resolved topology from these trees,...
