the genus onobrychis is an important forage crop consisting of approximately 130 annual and perennial species. in this study, 13 populations of five onobrychis species were analyzed. the basic chromosome number varied from x=7 to x=8. according to stebbins’ classification, populations such as o. aucheri subsp. psammophila, o. crista-galli (1) and o. crista-galli (2) were classified in symmetric...

Reseda is an understudied genus regarding germination ecology. We studied the response of eight perennial species to fire related cues by performing a experiment including two aqueous smoke treatments (at 1:5 and 1:20 concentrations), one heat shock (100 °C for 5 min.) treatment, corresponding controls. Smoke slightly decreased percentage in R. aucheri ssp. rotundifolia minoica, reduction luteo...
