    <I>Onobrychis Avajensis</I> (Fabaceae)

    Plant Ecology and Evolution 143 (2): 170–175, 2010 doi:10.5091/plecevo.2010.431 REGULAR PAPER Meiotic chromosome number and behaviour of Onobrychis avajensis (Fabaceae): a new species from western Iran Massoud Ranjbar*, Roya Karamian & Saeydeh Afsari Department of Biology, Herbarium Division, Bu-Ali Sina University, P.O. Box 65175/4161, Hamedan, Iran *Author for correspondence: [email protected] Background and aims – The present study is focused on the cytogenetic and morphological criteria allowing to distinguish a new taxon from Onobrychis sect. Heliobrychis. This section is the largest section in O. subg. Sisyrosema represented with 21 species in Iran. The new species belongs to the O. subsect. Boissierianae characterized by perennial plants with well-developed stems and O. andalanica group with uniformely yellow corolla. Methods – The morphological features and meiotic chromosome number and behaviour were studied in O. avajensis Ranjbar. Key results – The novelty Onobrychis avajensis Ranjbar, endemic to Iran, is described and illustrated from two collections from a single locality between Avaj and Abgram in Qazvin Province in the west Zagros. It is closely related to O. andalanica Bornm. but differs from it in a few morphological characters. In addition, meiotic chromosome number and behaviour were studied in O. avajensis. This report is the first cytogenetic analysis of this taxon. O. avajensis is a diploid plant and possesses 2n = 2x = 16 chromosomes, consistent with the proposed base number of x = 8. The general meiotic behaviour of the species was regular, with bivalent pairing and normal chromosome segregation at meiosis. Meiotic abnormalities were observed included a varying degree of sticky chromosomes with laggards, precocious division of centromeres in metaphase I, bridges in anaphase I and multipolar cells in telophase II.

    Onobrychis Viciifolia) As a Rangeland Forage Crop in California Ceci Dale-Cesmat, State Rangeland Management Specialist and Margaret Smither-Kopperl, PMC Manager

    FINAL STUDY REPORT Lockeford Plant Materials Center, Lockeford, CA Sainfoin Seeding Trials 2012 – 2014 Suitability of Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) as a Rangeland Forage Crop in California Ceci Dale-Cesmat, State Rangeland Management Specialist and Margaret Smither-Kopperl, PMC Manager ABSTRACT Landowners in the Sacramento Valley had requested a seeding trial of Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) to determine the long-term survival of three different cultivars (Eski, Remont and Shoshone) in Major Land Resource Area 17 (Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys). Sainfoin is currently used as a non- bloat hay/pasture and rangeland forage species to increase the protein content of the sward. The objective of this project was to study the persistence of Sainfoin and its ability to survive California’s hot summer conditions. To provide seeding and cultivar recommendations to be accessed by the eVegGuide, and include management practices to maintain its persistence. Seeds were planted in plots that were clean cultivated in the fall of 2012. Plantings were direct seeded using a Truax range drill. Seeding rates were 34 lbs/acre for all three Sainfoin cultivars, 8 lbs/acre for Orchardgrass/Sainfoin plots and 10 lbs/ac for Purple Needlegrass/Sainfoin plots. Seed was planted at ¼ inch. There was a 10’ break between Sainfoin treatments which were seeded in the plots in a north/south direction, and replicated three times in an irrigated and non-irrigated split plot design. Grass seed was planted in an east/west direction as was alfalfa, which was used as a control plot. Three years of data collection showed that all three varieties of Sainfoin survivorship was poor in MLRA 17.

    Plant Fact Sheet

    Plant Fact Sheet SAINFOIN Description Onobrychis viciifolia Scop. Sainfoin is an introduced perennial legume with many tall hollow stems, 60-80 cm or more. Its leaves Plant Symbol = ONVI are compound with 5-l4 pairs of oval-shaped leaflets and a single leaflet at the tip. Sainfoin has conelike Contributed by: USDA NRCS Pullman Plant clusters fragrant, pinkish- red flowers on the end of Materials Center long stalks. Seed pods are flat and contain a single dark olive green, brown, or black seed, 4-6 mm. There are 18,000 seeds/pound. Adaptation and Distribution Sainfoin is adapted to areas of the inland Pacific Northwest that receive at least 12 inches of annual precipitation. It is also adapted to much of the Northern Rocky Mountains, Northern Great Plains, and Northern Great Basin. Sainfoin was introduced to North America from Eurasia. Sainfoin grows well on a variety of well-drained soils and performs better than alfalfa on cold soils. For a current distribution map, please consult the Plant Profile page for this species on the PLANTS Website. Establishment Sainfoin seed is quite large but must not be seeded deeper than ¾ inch. The seed takes up moisture rapidly and germinates quickly. Seed must be inoculated with the appropriate rhizobium and planted into a firm, well-packed seedbed. Seed Copyright Richard Old should be planted in the spring for best emergence. WTU Burke Herbarium Management Alternate Names It should not be planted next to shelterbelts because Hedysarum onobrychis L., Onobrychis sativa Lam., the trees and shrubs will suffer from indiscriminate Onobrychis viciaefolia Scop., holy grass browsing and other damage by deer and elk.

    AJCS 5(12):1501-1507 (2011) ISSN:1835-2707 Taxonomic revision of the genus Psathyrostachys Nevski (Poaceae: Triticeae) in Turkey Evren Cabi 1*, Musa Do ğan 2, Ersin Karabacak 3 1Atatürk University, Faculty of Science, Department of Biology, 25240, Erzurum, TURKEY 2Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Department of Biological Sciences, 06531, Ankara, TURKEY 3Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Department of Biology, 17020, Çanakkale, TURKEY *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract In this study, the genus Psathyrostachys Nevski is revised in Turkey. Furthermore multivariate analysis have been carried out in order to understand the delimitation of the taxa of Psathyrostachys. For this reason, 20 quantitative, qualitative and multi-state morphological characters were scored for the accessions representing 10 populations of the genus. The data were subjected to numerical taxonomic analysis. The results showed that the genus is represented by 3 species one of which is new species and the other one is a new record for Turkey. An account of 3 species and 4 subspecies recognized in the genus is given including the genus description, a key for the species as well as the subspecies, species descriptions, flowering times, habitats, altitudes, type citations, distributions, phytogeography and their conservation status. However, three new taxa, namely P. narmanica sp. nov ., P. fragilis subsp. artvinense subsp. nov. and P. daghestanica subsp erzurumica subsp. nov. are described and illustrated for the first time. Keywords: Poaceae, Psathyrostachys , revision, Turkey. Introduction The genus Psathyrostachys Nevski (Poaceae; Triticeae) is a anatomical studies have also been done on certain grass small, well-defined, perennial genus comprising only eight genera (Do ğan, 1988, 1991, 1992, 1997; Cabi and Do ğan, species (Baden 1991).

In temperate sown grasslands, this has resulted in ryegrass dominance, and forage legume use is limited mainly to three species: red clover, white clover and lucerne. Other dicot forages, such as Lotus pedunculatus and Sanguisorba minor, are of interest as they contain plant specialized metabolites (PSM), especially tannins, potentially reducing methane from ruminants, an important source of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. In an in vitro study, we compared binary mixtures of perennial ryegrass with one of eight dicot species, Citation: Loza, C.; Verma, S.; including PSM-rich species in different proportions, to assess their potential to reduce methane Wolffram, S.; Susenbeth, A.; Blank, R.; production.
