Unveiling the Behavior of an Endangered Facultative Cuprophyte Coincya Species ...

Plant–soil interactions of endangered species with a high-priority conservation status are important to define in situ and ex situ conservation and restoration projects. The threatened endemic Coincya transtagana, thriving in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, can grow in metalliferous soils. The main goal of this study was to investigate the behavior of this species in soils rich in potentially toxic elem...

Apomixis in Systematics, Evolution and Phylogenetics of Angiosperms: Current De...

Apomixis, the reproduction via asexually formed seed, is taxonomically scattered in angiosperms. Here we review the major developmental pathways to apomixis and the occurrences on the level of orders and families. We provide surveys of large families for which occurrences and evolutionary pathways of apomixis are well documented (Poaceae, Ranunculaceae, Plumbaginaceae, Rosaceae, Brassicaceae, Rutaceae, and Aste...

An integrated approach to remediate saline soils and mining waste using technos...

Reclaiming marginal lands such as saline soils or mining waste for livestock grazing through Technosols and phytostabilisation can provide a solution to the growing food demand. This study evaluated the enhancement of soil properties by two Technosol constructions, along with pasture development. The experimental set-up consisted of gossan waste (G), Fluvisol (VF), Technosol/gossan (TG), and Technosol/Fluvisol ...

Sustainable agricultural management of saline soils in arid and semi-arid Medit...

Soil salinization is an important global issue since marginal salt-affected soils have harmful consequences in agriculture and ecosystems. This article reviews different sustainable strategies adopted for marginal soil reclamation in Mediterranean climates. An innovative approach to soil salinity management includes a wide range of technologies, such as: phytoremediation, phytodesalination, vegetative bioremedi...

Unravelling the combined use of soil and microbial technologies to optimize cul...

Salt-affected soils have detrimental effects on agriculture and ecosystems. However, these soils can still be used for halophyte (salt-tolerant plants) cultivation using brackish and/or saline water. In this study, we employed soil technologies and mutualistic microorganisms as a sustainable strategy to improve the growth and reproduction of the halophyte Limonium algarvense Erben’s growth and reproduction unde...
