Cartagena, Murcia, Spain. 11-12 May 2015 Preface As Convener of the Organizing and Scientific Committee of the 4th Workshop on Agri- Food Research (WIA.15) and Coordinator of the Doctoral Program in Advanced Techniques for Research and Development in Food and Agriculture (TAIDA), I am very pleased to see embodied in this book the excellent presentations conducted by PhD candidates of our Program. Presentations showed a great scientific interest and reflect the high potential of the Research Groups that belong to the several departments and institutions integrated into our PhD Program (UPCT, CEBAS-CSIC, and IMIDA). We expect that during the celebration of this Workshop, the coexistence and exchange of ideas and experiences among PhD candidates, research groups, researchers, technicians, etc.. has been favored. The scientific program is structured into four sessions: Agrifood Biotechnology, Food Technology and Engineering, Plant Production Technology and Engineering and Agroforestry and Economy Engineering, depending on the topics of interest involved in our Program. We also had three general invited lectures to strengthen the knowledge that researchers are gaining in their formation during this stage and we consider very useful for other researchers. The Scientific Organizing Committee consider that it is necessary that PhD candidates undertake this type of formative training activities to acquire the typical skills of a PhD remarking how to summarize their results, highlight the importance of them, presenting and disseminating clearly and concisely to a diverse audience in a limited time, as usually happens in the presentations at worldwide scientific conferences. Conclusively, I want to thank, on behalf of the Scientific Committee, the participation of PhD candidates and their advisors, as well as the high quality of the presentations.

By the time it was entrusted, to the Government of Cyprus in 1967, it had been firmly established as a research institution staffed predominantly by local scientists. ARI constitutes a Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and the Environment and is headquartered at Athalassa, on the outskirts of Lefkosia.

  • Phenological Patterns in the Desert Spring Ephemeral Astragalus Holmgreniorum Barneby (Fabaceae)
    Western North American Naturalist 79(3), © 2019, pp. 308–322 Phenological patterns in the desert spring ephemeral Astragalus holmgreniorum Barneby (Fabaceae) KODY R. ROMINGER1, SUSAN E. MEYER2,*, RENEE VAN BUREN1, AND ALLYSON B. SEARLE1 1Department of Biology, Utah Valley University, Orem, UT 84058 2U.S. Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station, Shrub Sciences Laboratory, Provo, UT 84606 ABSTRACT.—Herbaceous perennial species may exHibit winter or summer dormancy, or tHey may be spring ephemerals with dormancy extending from summer through winter. Herbaceous perennials, and spring ephemerals in particular, are most common in strongly seasonal but relatively mesic temperate environments. Warm deserts are typi- cally dominated by shrubs and annuals that are better adapted to withstand or avoid severe summer heat. Astragalus holmgreniorum Barneby (Fabaceae) is a perennial spring ephemeral that has a restricted distribution at the northeastern edge of the Mojave Desert. We explored factors that regulate its phenological development in an observational study at 2 sites over 2 growing seasons. We examined consequences of weather variation in terms of phenological patterns and tHeir effect on survival, growtH, and reproductive output. BotH seedling emergence and reinitiation of sHoot growtH occurred in early spring, with timing varying by site and year. Flowering peaked in early April each year regardless of weatHer variation. Plants ceased aboveground activity as daily maximum temperatures exceeded 30 °C in May. Between-year variation in winter-spring precipitation timing Had significant effects on growtH, survival, and reproductive output in 2 years witH similar above-average total precipitation. Early-season precipitation favored HigH seedling emergence, whereas midseason precipitation favored increased growth and flowering of adult plants, high fruit set, and high seedling survival, and late-season precipitation favored high seed set.

    1 ATLAS FLORAE EUROPAEAE 19 Leguminosae (Fabaceae) (Astragalus to Erophaca) Draft text June 2017 (compiled by Arto Kurtto) The taxonomy and order of the Astragalus taxa follow principally D. Podlech & S.H. Zarre (with collaboration of M. Ekici, A.A. Maassoumi & A. Sytin), A taxonomic revision of the genus Astragalus L. (Leguminosae) in the Old World. I–III. – 2439 pp. Bad Vöslau 2013. The taxonomy and order of the Oxytropis taxa follow principally Flora Europaea, but many eastern species have been added as floristic or taxonomic novelties. Of the genera accepted in Fl. Eur., Biserrula is included in Astragalus. On the other hand, Erophaca is here treated as a genus separate from Astragalus. Unlike in previous volumes, (1) the author and publication abbreviations follow the standards of IPNI, (2) the section ‘Biosystematics’ is replaced by ‘Phylogenetics’, and (3) the territory abbreviations Uk (K) and Uk (U) are replaced by Cm and Uk, respectively. The text still includes items to be checked. Some of them are indicated by double asterisks (**). Comments on the marked and other items are welcome to [email protected].

Una de las actividades prioritarias para evitar su pérdida es la reintroducción de ejemplares en su hábitat natural, para lo que es necesario producir planta de calidad en vivero. Como la mayoría de las leguminosas, esta especie realiza la fijación simbiótica del nitrógeno atmosférico, pero la dificultad de aislar sus rizobios hace necesario la adición de tierra del hábitat al sustrato cuando se cultiva en maceta. Una opción para corregir la falta de fijación del nitrógeno ambiental en plantas no inoculadas es la fertilización. En este trabajo se estudiará el efecto de distintos niveles de fertilizantes N-P-K (1-1-8 [sin fertilización], 69-29-35, 105-35-75, 144-43-131, 180-48-168, 214-54-205, y 245- 58-235, ppm) sobre el crecimiento, el contenido de clorofila foliar y la acumulación de iones minerales en las hojas de A. nitidiflorus cultivado en maceta con sustrato comercial. 2 ABSTRACT Astragalus nitidiflorus (Garbancillo de Tallante) is a leguminous herbaceous, endemic from Cartagena (southeast of Iberian Peninsula), that at the moment is endangered.
