Arthropod abundance has been hypothesized to be correlated with plant diversity but the results of previous studies have equivocal. In contrast, productivity, vegetation structure, abiotic site conditions, and physical disturbance habitats, are factors that interact diversity, shown influence arthropod abundance. We studied combined effect species productivity characteristics on in 71 managed grasslands central Germany using multivariate statistics. For each we determined cover, community...
Abstract Correlates between genetic diversity at intra‐ and interpopulation levels the species in plant communities are rarely investigated. Such correlates may give insights into effect of local selective forces across different on populations. This study has employed amplified fragment length polymorphism to assess within 10 populations Ranunculus acris relation (richness evenness) grassland two habitat types, ‘seminatural’ ‘agriculturally improved’, located central Germany....
The relationship between genetic diversity and species the underlying mechanisms are of both fundamental applied interest. We used amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) vegetation records to investigate association Plantago lanceolata plant using 15 grassland communities in central Germany. correlation partial analyses examine whether relationships were direct or mediated by environmental differences habitats. Both within- between-population P. significantly positively correlated...
The present investigation was aimed at enhancing the quality and productivity of barley by fertilizer chitosan application.The field experiments were conducted in northern region Jordan, under rain fed conditions main growing seasons 2014/2015 2015/2016.The experiment a well-designed split-plot having three replications two levels (0 100 kg•ha -1 DAP (Diammonium phosphate 46% P 2 O 5 ).Chitosan, different concentrations (0, 5, 10 g•L ), randomly applied to all fertilized plots as subplot...
Abstract Soil salinity is a serious environmental threat with varied effects on several aspects of growth and production plants. Recently, however, the utilization chitosan in agriculture has increased as it enhances resistance crop plants to different stresses factors such salinity. In this experiment, seed-priming alleviation stress was investigated common vetch ( Vicia sativa L.) using completely randomized design six replications. Chitosan pretreatment applied at three levels (2, 4, 8...
Herbicidal effects of aqueous extracts two allelopathic crops, sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) and maize (Zea mays were evaluated against germination growth wild barley. Fresh plants separated into leaves, stems roots for vegetative stage. Tissues from each plant parts mixture both soaked in distilled water 24 h at 24C a lighted room to give concentrations 5, 10 15 g tissue per 100 ml water. Our results indicated that significantly reduced by all the test crops. All extracts, except (MixMSS),...
The effect of plant space and time harvesting on yield quality Thymus vulgaris was evaluated in Jordan. Thyme cultivated rows 50 cm apart with inter-row spacing 15, 30 or 45 grown at various development stages. Plants were harvested during different growth stages including vegetation, beginning blooming, full blooming fruit maturation. Results indicated that oil yields thyme affected by stage spacing. maximum obtained the early stage, which found superior to corresponding later collection....
Background: Increasing antibiotic resistance and the appearance of multidrug-resistant pathogenic strains bacteria fungi are becoming a serious global problem.The use biological insecticides instead chemical has been increased because their safety, specificity biodegradability.Objectives: The objectives study were to identify Streptomyces isolates screened from soil determine antibacterial, antifungal insecticidal activities.Materials Methods: collected soils in various habitats Jordan...
The medicinal plants of Jordan are under threat due to several factors habitat perturbation.Some these include ruinous over-harvesting, climate change, competition and invasion.In this study, the authors employed a reliable method for micropropagation assessment antimicrobial activity some important Jordan.Seeds were surface sterilized germinated on agar water media, then shoots cultured Murashige Skoog (MS) medium with addition 3% sucrose.In order generate enough plant material, microshoots...
Paronchia argentea is traditionally being used for medicinal purposes in Jordan.The current investigation was designed to check the vitro efficacy of and ex P. against selected bacterial fungal strains.The antimicrobial properties plantlets field (ex vitro) plant extracts were investigated both bacteria fungi, after before heavy metals stress used.In this study, four species used: Listeria monocytogen Staphylococcus aureus (Gram positive bacteria) Salmonella typhimurum Coronobacter sakazakii...
Twenty-eight mapped SSR markers were used to analyze genetic diversity and population structure of Jordanian barley landraces. The neighbour-joining (NJ) clustering admixture model-based analysis grouped the landraces cultivars according inflorescence type. High distance (1GSD=0.779) was observed between two-row six-row Polymorphic Information Content (PIC) value SSRs loci ranged from 0.297 0.899, with a mean 0.658. results this study demonstrate suitability data for in
The fundamental aim of this study was to investigate the growth responses selected Jordanian cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) genotypes salinity stress.Twenty-six landraces and two recent cultivars were subjected four levels (0, 50, 100 200 mM NaCl).The salt stress found influence majority germination ability such as % which ranged from about 80% 100% (One-way ANOVA; p ≤ 0.05).Moreover, statistically affected in correspondence exposure time relation genotypic composition studied...
Salicylic acid (SA) is believed to play a role in modulating the adverse effects of abiotic stresses crop plants, by regulating varied molecular and biochemical responses. The present study was aimed at investigating combined exogenously applied SA salinity on root length, chlorophyll content, stomatal conductance gene expression Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) barley (Hordeum vulgare L., cv. Rum) seedling stage. results revealed that salt stress negatively affected total maximum CuZn-SOD...
Currently, there is an increase prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria worldwide. Therefore, the need for characterization naturally occuring antibiotics with less antibiotic resistance required. Soil resources contains valuable producing microorganisms that increasingly being utilized production suitable antibiotics. this study aimed at identifying ability isolated from soil samples collected Al Zarqa provenance, arid area in Jordan. Morphological and biochemical isolates were carried...
