They are a rich source of bioactive and antioxidant compounds and have the potential to become sources of oil-bearing crops. The aim of this study was to investigate requirements for embryo growth, dormancy break and seed germination in these two species. The effects of gibberellic acid (GA3) and dry storage were also examined to determine the type of dormancy. The pericarps and seed coats of both species were water-permeable, and the embryos were small and differentiated but underdeveloped, with initial embryo lengths of 0.28 mm in E. wolfii and 0.96 mm in E. caroides, respectively. These underdeveloped embryos were either di (>98%) or tricotyledonous (<2%) and required cold temperatures to grow, indicating that these seeds had morphological dormancy (MD). The critical length required for germination was 3.44 mm for E. wolfii and 4.17 mm for E. caroides. However, seeds of both species reached less than 50% final germination if subjected only to cold incubation. Higher final germination was possible if seeds were pre-treated with dry cold storage (-22 ºC) or exposed to GA3, indicating the existence of physiological dormancy (PD) in part of the seed population. Therefore, both species had non-deep complex morphophysiological dormancy (MPD). This study demonstrates that E. caroides and E. wolfii share the same germination requirements, suggesting a common ecological strategy in their seed germination process.","PeriodicalId":54240,"journal":{"name":"Mediterranean Botany","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141118638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The plants foraged by bees were collected, identified and listed. A total of 117 honey species were recorded, representing 41.64% of the 281 species of the total flora of the study area, belonging to 98 genera and 40 families. The Asteraceae family is the most represented with 17.95%, followed by Labiatae and Leguminosae with 6.84% each. The area is characterized by a high rate of endemism, estimated at 26.5% of the 117 melliferous species. However, there are species classified as rare and endangered taxa, estimated at 10 species. According to their biological types, Therophytes represent 36.75% of the foraged species, followed by Chamephytes (17.95%). Regarding the flowering period, it lasts throughout the year. Spring however is the most represented period with 42.45% of the plants, followed by summer with 28.98%, then winter and autumn, with 15.10% and 13.47% respectively. Melliferous plants with yellow flowers are the most attracted by bees (28.21%), followed by white flowers (24.79%). These listed plants are either foraged for their nectar and pollen (74.36%), only pollen (15.38%), or only nectar (8.55%). In addition, they have other uses, such as edible, medicinal, and others. It appears from this study that the conservation of the melliferous flora is very imperative in order to improve and promote the continuity of the beekeeping sector in the region.","PeriodicalId":54240,"journal":{"name":"Mediterranean Botany","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140659622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2004 its distribution area was approximately 16 hectares, and its population was estimated at around 185000 adult individuals. Thus, this species is considered a local endemism due to its restricted distribution area, being catalogued as a \"Critically Endangered\" (CR). The main goal of this study is to review the current situation of the endemism, updating its distribution area and current threats and, consequently, establishing up-to-date conservation guidelines. A marked increment in the H. polygonoides population have been found (381909 individuals were estimated in 2022 census). We located new populations of H. polygonides, increasing its core distribution area and revealing the consolidation of proposed protection measures. In this context, our results have confirmed the direct relationship between the population size and the protection measures. According to the threat’s assessment, we have observed that most of the threats and impacts have been reduced (e.g., grazing) or stopped (e.g., accumulation of debris). However, we have found new threats (e.g., rabbit proliferation, wild boar damages, and fires), emphasising the need to review and update the Recovery Plan of H. polygonoides. In fact, we want to be pointed out that the mentioned threats are in constant change. We suggest the inclusion of new guidelines to control the new-found threats and provide eight new conservation guidelines to improve the conservation status of the current populations of H. polygonoides.","PeriodicalId":54240,"journal":{"name":"Mediterranean Botany","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140664281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its populations are located in France and North Africa, being absent in the Iberian Peninsula.. It was described by Delile, but its taxonomic and nomenclatural status has been discussed by several authors, mainly based on its particular combination of morphological characters. We have recently found several populations of a Cistus species whose morphological characters match those of C. pouzolzii. To confirm the taxonomic identity of these populations, a comparative study was performed using herbarium specimens of C. pouzolzii from France and North Africa. In addition, two chloroplast regions were sequenced to study the phylogenetic relationships between the newly discovered Iberian populations and the rest of the species of the genus Cistus, including the sequences belonging to C. pouzolzii from France and Morocco previously used. Both analyses (morphological and phylogenetic studies) confirmed that the specimens sampled in the Iberian populations were C. pouzolzii. Furthermore, both the nomenclature of this species and its conservation status are briefly discussed.","PeriodicalId":54240,"journal":{"name":"Mediterranean Botany","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139230268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Codonoprasum represents an evolutionarily young and rapidly radiating group of bulbous geophytes, with a significant proportion of polyploids and minor morphological differences between species. In the last 20 years, dozens of new species of this section have been described from the Mediterranean. Still, very little new information has been obtained on most of them since their description, especially concerning cytogenetic, molecular, and distribution data. Allium goumenissanum is a recently described species of this section, known only from three nearby localities in northern Greece. During the last 10 years, the senior authors' team collected population samples of an unknown species of this section from the southern Balkans, which appeared to be representative of A. goumenissanum. Using an integrated approach employing a range of methods (cytogenic, molecular, morpho- and micromorphological methods), the populations of an unknown species were compared with morphologically similar species A. goumenissanum and A. stamatiadae. AFLP, ITS sequencing and genome size analyses revealed that all the populations of the unknown species represent A. goumenissanum, and that this species is differentiated genetically and in genome size from A. stamatiadae. ITS sequencing indicates an allotriploid origin of A. goumenissanum from unknown ancestors. The characterization of the morphology and reproduction of A. goumenissanum is completed and micromorphological and anatomical characteristics of the leaves of both species are newly published. The distribution of A. goumenissanum, based on new data, now includes a more extensive area of north central Greece and the species has been found as a new one for Bulgaria.","PeriodicalId":54240,"journal":{"name":"Mediterranean Botany","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139230431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
