Chromosome Centromeres: Structural and Analytical Investigations with High Resolution Scanning Electron Microscopy in Combination with Focused Ion Beam Milling [PDF]
Whole mount mitotic metaphase chromosomes of different plants and animals were investigated with high resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) to study the ultrastructural organization of centromeres, including metacentric ...

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 ...

Diverse Prairie Mixtures Stabilize Biomass Yields for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production
Meeting global demand for sustainable aviation fuel will require the additional production of vast quantities of plant biomass, which does not compete with food production or degrade sensitive ecosystems. Our multisite experiment shows that sowing diverse native prairie seed mixes—and managing them without intensive inputs—yields a more reliable ...

STUDIES OF PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS AND PROTEINS AS A MARKER OF THE BIODIVERSITY OF VICIA FABA L [PDF]
A collection of 12 varieties of broad bean (Vicia faba L.) was studied. This was curried out to see the variation of phenolic compounds (tannins) and proteins of the seeds of Vicia faba L.

Preliminary evaluation of perennial forage legumes for organic farming in Finland [PDF]
In 1998-2001 fourteen forage legume species were evaluated for their productivity in mixed organic swards. The aim was to find new alternatives for red clover. Medicago falcata produced the highest dry matter yield (about 11 000 kg/ha/year).
