The genus Plantago is particularly interesting for studying the mechanisms of salt tolerance in plants, as it includes both halophytes and glycophytes, well species adapted to xeric environments. In this study, stress responses two halophytes, P. crassifolia coronopus, were compared with those ovata afra. Plants obtained by seed germination four species, collected different regions Tunisia, subjected increasing salinity treatments one month under greenhouse conditions. Morphological traits...
Rare endemic plant species are very susceptible to anthropogenic threats and natural changes, thereby facing a high risk of extinction. The Mediterranean Basin supports rich flora with percentages species. An iconic case narrow taxon is represented by Onobrychis conferta subsp. (Desf.) Desv. (Fabaceae). Management this requires better information on its habitat requirements population status. Field surveys historical records were used characterize the distribution O. in Tunisia. Habitats...
Abstract Climate change is threatening environmental and nutritional security. In this scenario, forage crops their wild relatives may contribute to maintain ecosystem services minimize the effects of global warming. We reviewed literature regarding ecological, agronomic, nutraceutical values Onobrychis Miller species (sainfoins, Family Fabaceae ). also discussed application prospects existing problems hampering widespread domestication. Wild genus have some interesting agronomic ecological...
In order to characterize and conserve the endemic pastoral species Medicago tunetana, many prospecting missions were carried out in mountainous regions of Tunisian ridge. Twenty-seven eco-geographical morphological traits studied for six M. tunetana accessions followed by molecular analysis using seven Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR). Only five markers polymorphic reproductible populations. A total 54 alleles observed with an average 10.8 bands/primer/genotype. Mean Polymorphism Information...
Abstract Climate change is a global challenge to ecosystem services, altering crop yields and food security worldwide. In the context of climate change, Onobrychis viciifolia Scop. (sainfoin) can offer multitude services conferred by its multifaceted beneficial properties. We reviewed morphological, biochemical physiological responses environmental stressors O. , summarized ecological, agronomic, nutritional biological interests, we discussed use under change. hemicryptophyte forage legume...
Salinity is one of the major constraints prevailing in environment, affecting plant growth, agricultural productivity, and soil fertility. The application beneficial silicon-rich bio-stimulants presents an alternative strategy to ensure sustainability, as their use expansion can help mitigate adverse effects salinity reduce excessive synthetic chemicals.
Abstract Heavy metal contamination is an increasingly pressing global ecological concern adversely affecting plant growth. Phytoremediation eco-friendly and low-cost approach to help solve this problem by using plants remove metals. This study aimed evaluate the phytoremediation potential of four Plantago species, exposing them different concentrations (0, 150, 300, 600 900 ppm) zinc, copper, iron during germination early seedling These are generally phases life cycle most sensitive stress....
Long-term field surveys within Tunisian dorsal revealed the recollection of poorly known North African endemic Onobrychis kabylica and O. conferta subsp. conferta. Two new varieties are described illustrated, a key to recognize two species distribution map both taxa included. IUCN Red List assessment shows that should be considered Critically Endangered requires implementation immediate appropriate measurements ensure their conservation.
A review of the available knowledge for Tunisian-Algerian endemic Plantago tunetana is proposed in present work. This narrowly species was hitherto known from Tunisia within a very restricted area. Field surveys its occurrence during last few years, locus classicus, allow to find only one population Gouraïa locality north-western Tunisia. IUCN Red List assessment shows that could be considered as Critically Endangered and requires implementation immediate appropriate measurements ensure...
During an inventory study of Psylloidea species carried out in Tunisia, the alien psyllid, Macrohomotoma gladiata Kuwayama, 1908 (Hemiptera Homotomidae), recently recorded country, has been detected on ornamental Ficus microcarpa, public and private parks gardens many locations urban areas governorates Tunis Ariana, showing a fast spread area. This psyllid observed causing damages vegetative disorders to trees, especially white wax secretion, leaf wrapping honeydew excretion leaves twigs....
This study was developed to improve the qualitative and quantitative performance of milk production dairy cows. The aim this work is evaluate impact feeding Kit N°10 based on alfalfa pellets long ryegrass fibre produced by “La Romana Farine srl” yield composition in administered thrice daily six multiparous Holstein–Friesian cows assigned two treatments including control staple feed N°10. Feeding as basic ration improved animal increasing significantly (p
