Breeding Aspects of Selected Ornamental Bulbous Crops
This article provides an overview of the origin, genetic diversity and methods and trends in breeding of selected ornamental geophytes (Lilium, Tulipa, Narcissus and Hippeastrum). The role of interspecific hybridisation and polyploidisation in assortment

Bird mortality due to collisions with wind turbines necessitates the implementation of measures to mitigate this impact. Blade patterning has shown to be a promising measure to increase turbine visibility to birds and reduce collisions. Employing a Before–After–Control–Impact experiment using long‐term fatality searches, bird fatality rates were ...

Maternal plant exposure to fire enhances offspring germination
Abstract Plants that resprout after fire experience drastically altered conditions in post‐fire environments. However, the effects of plant exposure to fire on offspring traits remain understudied. Many resprouting species are herbaceous plants that flower and fruit rapidly after fire (i.e., fire‐stimulated flowering), developing their seeds under ...

The Cryopreservation of Medicinal and Ornamental Geophytes: Application and Challenges
Nowadays, plant genetic resources are often at risk of loss and destruction. Geophytes are herbaceous or perennial species that are annually renewed by bulbs, rhizomes, tuberous roots, or tubers.

The use of wild edible plants and the traditional knowledge associated with them are rapidly disappearing across the Mediterranean, with serious consequences for biodiversity, cultural heritage, and regional food security. This study compiles and organizes fragmented information to create the first comprehensive catalogue of these plants across the ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizae of five summer geophytes from Cluj county
Phytobiont enhanced nutrient uptake through arbuscular mycorrhiza comes at a cost in form of carbon fixed through photosynthesis. Geophytes operate under resource efficiency constraint due to their particular life-cycle and have to balance it very well.
