Paspalum is one of the most important genera of the Poaceae family due to its large number of species and diversity. The subgenus Anachyris comprises six species mainly from South America grouped together by sharing rare spikelet characteristics. A genetic analysis using ISSR markers, compared with the morphological and phenotypic variation observed in each one species, was used to establish genetic...
The ability of Anthemis chrysantha to form a soil seed bank (SB) was investigated in order to understand better the adaptation of this rare annual species to its arid and unpredictable natural habitat. The natural seed bank population was analyzed in five consecutive plant cohorts (2006–2010) by sampling at two different times: in May, after the germination period, and in October, after the first...
Mature plant density and fruit production were monitored in the main population of four successive cohorts of the endangered winter annual Anthemis chrysantha (Asteraceae) in southeastern Spain. Experiments were conducted with artificial rainfall and a wind tunnel to determine the temporal and spatial dispersal pattern of the species and the relationship with rain and wind.The population fluctuations...
Astragalus nitidiflorus is an endangered perennial, but short-lived legume of SE Spain, which has been re-found after 100 years. To identify possible weak points that might contribute to its rarity and hamper its conservation, this paper presents data concerning location, habitat, demographic features and reproductive biology of the species. Censuses of three cohorts of seedlings show that the seedling...
The subgenus Anachyris of the genus Paspalum comprises six species, all native to the New World. Cytology, embryology, fertility, and hybridization experiments were examined in four of the six species and different chromosome races. Meiotic chromosome behavior supported autoploid origin for tetraploid P. procurrens and tetraploid P. usterii, and also corroborates autoploidy for P. malacophyllum. Meiosis...
