Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) is a winter annual weed that presents a serious obstacle to rangeland restoration in the Intermountain West. The objective of this study was to evaluate factors regulating the size and persistence of cheatgrass carryover seed banks on semiarid sites in western Utah. We prevented current-year seed production in each of four habitats, then tallied emerging seedling...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY We developed microsatellite markers in the legume Lens culinaris from publicly available databases to enrich the limited marker resource available for the crop. • METHODS AND RESULTS Eighty-two primer sets were identified using expressed sequence sets of L. culinaris available in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database and were char...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Aluterus monoceros (A. monoceros) has been sequenced. The mitochondrial genome of A. monoceros is 16,429 bp in length, consisting of 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes and a D-loop region (Gen Bank accession number KP637022). The base A + T of the mitochondrial genome is 63.25%, including 33.16% of A, 30.09% of T and 20.74% of C. Twelve pro...

Beek (2016) argued that Rubus aetnicus Cupani ex Weston was the correct name of taxon then called R. canescens DC., and which previously known as tomentosus Borkh. Moreover, stated to be not identical with aetnicus, but rather a form × collinus DC. Matzke-Hajek raised objections both statements. Therefore, aim this study thoroughly analyse names support analysis field work at type localities by...
