The vascular flora of Sardinia has been investigated for more than 250 years, with particular
attention to the endemic component due to their phylogeographic and conservation interest …

The last decades have recorded an increase of plant-based drug discovery processes.
Indeed, natural products possess a superior chemical diversity as compared to synthetic …

 Abstract In this study, we present an overall phylogenetic framework for Dianthus using four
plastid regions (matK-trnK-psbA, rpl32-trnL, trnQ-rps16) and nuclear ITS and a species-level …

The distribution of the threatened fern Ophioglossum vulgatum L., a plant with extremely
small populations (PSESPs) in Sardinia, is characterized by small disjunct populations with …

Taxus cuspidata is a rare and endangered plant species with an extremely small population
which is endemic to China. This study focused on the natural T. cuspidata population in Jilin …

Aims The early phases in the life cycle of a plant are the bottleneck for successful species
establishment thereby affecting population dynamics and distribution. In coastal …

Endemic plants in high mountains are projected to be at high risk because of climate
change. Temporal demographic variation is a major factor affecting population viability …

Background In the projected climate change scenarios, assisted migration might play an
important role in the ex situ conservation of the threatened plant species, by translocate …

Tripleurospermum insularum (Asteraceae) is a critically endangered (CR) insular endemic
species in Turkey and is facing high risk of extinction. Here, a rapid and efficient in vitro …

Demographic analysis of plant populations represents an essential conservation tool
allowing to identify the population trends both at global and at the local level. In this study …
