Effects of static magnetic fields on onion (Allium cepa L.) seed germination and early seedling growth

Revista de Ciencias Agrícolas, 2021
In vegetables of economic importance such as onion, one of the main limitations in their production is that their seeds have a relatively short storage life, so their viability decreases rapidly.

Synergistic effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on Aloe vera: Enhancing leaf biomass, nutrient uptake, medicinal properties, and soil fertility

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Aloe vera (Aloe vera L.) has been utilized for various therapeutic and cosmetic purposes; however, its agronomic management in Bangladesh remains underexplored. Therefore, a field trial was performed in Mymensingh, Bangladesh, to evaluate the combined effects of organic and inorganic fertilizers (IFs) on growth, nutrient composition, medicinal

Genome Size Diversity in Lilium (Liliaceae) Is Correlated with Karyotype and Environmental Traits

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Genome size (GS) diversity is of fundamental biological importance. The occurrence of giant genomes in angiosperms is restricted to just a few lineages in the analyzed genome size of plant species so far. It is still an open question whether GS diversity

Some validations in Liliaceae. [PDF]

Willdenowia, 2004
Abstract Valdes, B.: Some validations in Liliaceae. — Willdenowia 34: 63–64. — ISSN 0511-9618; © 2004 BGBM Berlin-Dahlem. For the purpose of the Euro+Med Project, Liliaceae are defined in the traditional Englerian sense. Similarly, the splitting of Scilla s.l. in dozens of genera, that has recently been advocated, is not being followed.

Spring ephemeral Erythronium umbilicatum may not be vulnerable to phenological mismatch with overstory trees

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Premise The defining life history strategy of spring ephemeral wildflowers is their avoidance of shading by trees during the brief, high‐light period before canopy leaf out. Studies suggest that spring ephemerals will experience increased light competition because canopy leaf out is more sensitive to warming than is the phenology of spring ...

Assessing the viability of genebanked seeds from rare, wild plants native to the United States using the D.E.A.D. paradigm

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 2, March-April 2026.
Abstract Premise Genebanks must maintain viable seeds for decades. Seeds that germinate are clearly alive, but some seeds, often from wild populations, do not germinate because they are dormant, empty, aged, or damaged (D.E.A.D.). This work evaluates the effects of D.E.A.D.

Functional Diversity of Nectary Structure and Nectar Composition in the Genus Fritillaria (Liliaceae)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Fritillaria is a genus consisting of 130 to 140 species of bulbous plants, native to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. Generally viewed as an insect pollinated genus with the exception of two North American species, Fritillaria gentneri and F.

Soil Metabarcoding Helps Identify Recalcitrant Taxa From Chaparral Seed Banks

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Soil seed banks preserve plant diversity, but traditional germination methods often miss dormant or hard‐to‐germinate species. Our study tested metabarcoding as an alternative, finding that DNA‐based sequencing was more reliable than RNA and that water treatments influenced sequencing results.

Glycoalkaloid‐Free Starch Potatoes Generated by CRISPR/Cas9‐Mediated Mutations of Genes in the Glycoalkaloid Biosynthesis Pathway Enable More Sustainable Uses of By‐Products From Starch Production

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1344-1358, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are toxic cholesterol‐derived secondary metabolites present in several Solanaceae species. In potato, tuber SGA levels are for reasons of toxicity of concern in both table and starch cultivars. In the latter, SGAs bind to proteins and fibres in starch production side‐streams and prevent their further uses as ...
