The origin of radiate Senecio vulgaris L.

Effects of origin, seasons and storage under different temperatures on germination of Senecio vulgaris (Asteraceae) seeds

Invasive plants colonize new environments, become pests and cause biodiversity loss, economic loss and health damage. Senecio vulgaris L. (Common groundsel, Asteraceae), a widely distributing cosmopolitan weed in the temperate area, is reported with large populations in the north-eastern and south-western part, but not in southern, central, or north-western parts of China. We studied the germin...

Effects of origin, seasons and storage under different temperatures on germination of Senecio vulgaris

On the Origin of the Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

Phylogeographic methods provide the tools to accurately access the geographic origin and diversification of crop species. In the present commentary, I urge the common bean community to face those methods and a tree-thinking mentality with regards to the long standing debate of the origin of common bean. Such efforts will ultimately bring back interest into wild bean studies and reinforce the un...

Computational identification of miRNAs in medicinal plant Senecio vulgaris (Groundsel)

RNAs Interference plays a very important role in gene silencing. In vitro identification of miRNAs is a slow process as it is difficult to isolate them. Nucleotide sequences of miRNAs are highly conserved among the plants and, this form the key feature behind the identification of miRNAs in plant species by homology alignment. In silico identification of miRNAs from EST database is emerging as ...

The Ecology of Ragwort (senecio Jacobaea L.) - a Review

THE ECOLOGY OF RAGWORT (SENECIO JACOBAEA L.) A REVIEW Summary: The available literature on ragwort is reviewed. The ecological behaviour of ragwort can be explained by its tendency to act as a colonising plant, which is encouraged by pasture disturbance. Ragwort-infested pasture and closed pasture alternate with each other, and this is influenced by a number of environmental and management fact...
