This experiment was conducted on NS Leviathan hybrids during the summer season under semiarid region. It designed as a split plot factorial arrangement using randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The purpose of this to determine skipping irrigating effect I1, I2, and I3 salicylic acid applied S1 non-applied S0 yield at growth stages (vegetative, flowering, achene-form...

Centaurea ziganensis Yüzb., M. Bona & İ. Genç, a new species is described and illustrated from Gümüşhane province, NE Turkey. The new species grows in rocky places on the south face of Zigana Mountains, and is closely related to C. drabifolioides, from which it differs mainly in stem, achene and phyllary appendage characters. Micromorphological structures of achenes and karyological features of...

With increases in both the size and scope of phylogenetic trees, we are afforded a renewed opportunity to address long-standing comparative questions, such as whether particular fruit characters account for much of the variation in diversity among flowering plant clades. Studies to date have reported conflicting results, largely as a consequence of taxonomic scale and a reliance on potentially ...

The deficiency of micronutrients is one the main reason for low seed yield in oilseed crops many developing countries including Pakistan. Therefore, this two-year field study was conducted to assess influence foliage applied (individual/or combination) on and quality sunflower hybrids. For study, we hypothesized that application will improve achene yield, oil net returns results indicated hybri...

During the taxonomic revision of the Turkish Dianthus species, specimens collected from Bilecik, Seben (Bolu), and Nallıhan (Ankara) were discovered that represent a new species. Its description, images, chorology, ecology, and threat category are provided. It was compared with a closely related species, Dianthuszonatus, and differences are based on its general morphology and seed micromorphology.

Abstract Self-incompatible, non-clonal plant species are especially dependent on the activity of flower visitors for seed production. Therefore, populations these plants vulnerable to a reduced visitation rates, but also increased isolation by extinction local populations. To study how Centaurea scabiosa , self-incompatible, bee-pollinated herb changed over time in region Bonn, we collected his...
