Coding sequences for major trichome regulatory genes, including the positive regulators GLABRA 1(GL1), GLABRA 2 (GL2), ENHANCER OF GLABRA 3 (EGL3), and TRANSPARENT TESTA GLABRA 1 (TTG1) and the negative regulator TRIPTYCHON (TRY), were cloned from wild Brassica villosa, which is characterized by dense trichome coverage over most of the plant. Transcript (FPKM) levels from RNA sequencing indicat...

Grass and legume mixtures work well, but there are no data on the mixed planting of desho grass (Pennisetum glaucifolium) Vicia species. A study was conducted to investigate whether forage dry matter yield (DMY) quality can be improved by growing species in with grass. The experimental layout followed a randomized complete block design four replications, where treatments consisted pure stands t...

one of the important issues in the arid and semi-arid regions is the water deficit and soil salinity. therefore, selecting tolerant species to salinity and drought especially in seed germination and emergence stage is important. in the present study the effects of drought and salt stress on seed germination of vetch (vicia villosa l.) which is palatable forage was investigated. the germination ...

Monoculture frequently causes loss of soil nutrients and the emergence soil-borne diseases in walnut orchards, whereas it is unknown whether sod culture with Vicia villosa (a popular agroforestry system) orchards impacts structural composition diversity fungal communities. Fungal communities cover plant V. were investigated this work utilizing high-throughput sequencing ITS, as well examination...

Using molecular fingerprinting (amplified fragment length polymorphism [AFLP] method), we explored the potential of small-scale population analysis for understanding colonization patterns of herb layer species in forests after canopy disturbance. We investigated three common forest understorey species with different life forms (Trientalis europaea, Calamagrostis villosa, and Vaccinium myrtillus...
