Combining rare alleles and grouped pollen donors to assign paternity in pollen dispersal studies

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2020., 2020
Premise Pollen dispersal plays a critical role in gene flow of seed plants. Most often, pollen dispersal is measured using paternity assignment. However, this approach can be time‐consuming because it typically entails genotyping all pollen donors, receptors, and offspring at several molecular markers. Methods We developed a faster, simpler protocol to

Evaluating germinability of eight desert halophytes under long-term seed storage: Implications for conservation

Plant Diversity, 2019
Ex situ conservation in seed banks is a potential complementary conservation strategy for native plant species. It is well established that ex situ seed banking of native wild plants prolongs seed viability and thereby preserves genetic and species ...

Potential Use of Halophytes to Remediate Saline Soils

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Salinity is one of the rising problems causing tremendous yield losses in many regions of the world especially in arid and semiarid regions. To maximize crop productivity, these areas should be brought under utilization where there are options for removing salinity or using the salt‐tolerant crops.

Screening for Salt Tolerance in Eight Halophyte Species from Yellow River Delta at the Two Initial Growth Stages

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Screening of available local halophytes for salinity tolerance is of considerable economic value for the utilization of heavy salt‐affected lands in coastal tidal‐flat areas and other saline areas. In this study, the germination and seedling pot experiments on salt tolerance of eight halophytic species from Yellow River Delta, China, at seven NaCl ...

Taxonomic complexity in the parasitic plant genus Cistanche: Evidence from phylogenomics

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract “Desert hyacinths” (genus Cistanche) are striking parasitic plants of historical and cultural importance that include species traded widely for herbal medicine. Despite the need for robust taxonomy, the application of names in the genus remains confused.

Nest Predation in the Canarian Houbara Bustard (Chlamydotis undulata fuertaventurae): An Experimental Study Using Artificial Nests

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
We investigated nest predation in the endangered Canarian houbara bustard using 229 artificial nests and camera traps. Ravens were identified as the main predators, and predation rates were influenced by raven density, vegetation cover, stone cover, and road density.
