Intra-specific diversity of Stachys inflata; A Survey on floristic-ecologic variation for different populations in Hamedan province of Iran
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
The general centers of diversity for genus Stachys which belongs to lamiaceae family, are located in tropical and sub-tropical regions. The aim of this article is the study of existing intra-specific diversity in the species Stachys inflata in Hamedan province of Iran using Determination of special station (D.S.S method); according to floristic-ecologic factors, special station is an area of different vegetation witch is homogenous. In this order, 13 special stations were determined for Stachys inflata. 72 plant species were distinguished as associated species in these special stations. Floristic- ecologic data are analyzed by Anaphyto software with F.C.A method. Comparison of the obtained results on multiple coordinated axes, in order floristic- ecologic marker led to determination of 9 groups for this species, which is interpreted as the proof for existence of intra-specific diversity in this species. In addition, data were analyzed utilizing MVSP software with UPGMA, PCO and PCA methods. The results confirm the groups in compliance with those identified through floristic-ecologic marker. Results obtained from the analysis of ecological factors by MVSP software match those of floristic grouping. This agreement among the approaches verifies the presence of 9 groups for stachys inflata in Hamedan province.

Dual functional role of Salicylic acid against Fusarium; long lasting priming and direct immediate effect
Priming of defense is a strategy in use by plants exposed to stress to enhance resistance against future stress episodes with minimal associated costs on growth. Here, we test the hypothesis that application of priming...
