Large old trees need more conservation attention: A case of Tamarix aphylla in the arid deserts of the United Arab Emirates

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2015
Large old trees are often recognized for the provision of variety of ecosystem services to humanity. This paper reports the existence of a large old Tamarix aphylla (L.) Karst. tree in the Hamriyah area of Sharjah, the United Arab Emirates.

Banana seed genetic resources for food security: Status, constraints, and future priorities

Food and Energy Security, 2022
Storing seed collections of crop wild relatives, wild plant taxa genetically related to crops, is an essential component in global food security. Seed banking protects genetic resources from degradation and extinction and provides material for use by ...

Similarity between seed bank and herb layer in a natural deciduous temperate lowland forest

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2011
Forest seed banks mostly studied in managed forests proved to be small, species poor and not reflecting aboveground species composition. Yet studies conducted in undisturbed communities indicate a different seed bank characteristic. Therefore we aimed at

Climate-Resilient Bread Wheat for Arid Environments: Adaptation and Yield Performance of Diverse Genotypes Across Contrasting Growing Conditions

Plants
Environmental variability poses major challenges to bread wheat production in arid regions. This study evaluated the adaptation, productivity, and grain quality of fifteen diverse bread wheat genotypes. The evaluated germplasm comprised advanced breeding

Seed rain and seed bank of a draw-down zone and their similarities to vegetation under the regulated water-level fluctuation in Xiangxi River

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2020
Construction of the Three Gorges Reservoir converted areas of the original terrestrial ecosystem along the shores into a draw-down zone with a fluctuating water-level at an elevation ranging between 145 and 175 m. The water-level fluctuation is regulated

Study the species richness and similarity of plant cover and soil seed bank in arid areas of Atriplex plantation (Case Study: Shahriar) [PDF]

پژوهش‌های آبخیزداری, 2017
Plant cover may be the most important factor in conserving the soil from water and wind erosion. Wise management of plant cover needs accurate and sufficient information from vegetation and soil seed bank capacity. Evaluation of changes in vegetation and

Soil seed banks [PDF]

Scientia Agricola, 1998
The goal of this literature review is to discuss some of the major aspects of the soil seed bank, from its characteristics down to methodological aspects of its determination. Soil seed bank is the reservoir of viable seeds or of vegetative propagules that are present in the soil and that are able to recompose a natural vegetation.

In Site Soil Seed-Banks: Size, Composition and Persistence across Tropical Successional Stages

Plants, 2023
I investigated the size, composition and persistence of the seed-bank in primary forests, secondary forests and old-fields in southern Mexico. I also assessed the contribution of the seed-bank to regeneration relative to other propagule sources.

A novel quinazolinone insulin receptor inhibitor and its synergy with an EGFR inhibitor in glucose‐driven glioblastoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The novel styrylquinazolinone‐based molecule W1B effectively suppresses glioblastoma by inhibiting IGF1R and EGFR. In high‐glucose microenvironments driving tumor resistance, W1B acts synergistically with the EGFR inhibitor dacomitinib. This combination safely blocks compensatory survival signaling in zebrafish xenograft models. Showcasing promising in

Genotyping-by-sequencing -based genome-wide SNP profiling and DNA fingerprinting of Saudi Arabian faba bean germplasm

BMC Plant Biology
Background Gene banks play a vital role in conserving plant genetic resources (PGR), yet the limited genetic characterization of many collections restricts their effective utilization in breeding and crop improvement.
