“…Natural habitat of the S. multicaulis is located at the border of steppe and semi-steppe climatic zones, Iran central rangelands (Yazdanshenas et al., 2016). The average altitude of the plant habitat is 2350 m above sea level; annual temperature about 11 °C and annual precipitation about 250 mm, with mild climatic conditions and cold winters.…”

Depending on the physical environmental conditions, cultivation process can have significant effects on the wild plants' morphophysiological characteristics . Stachys multicaulis is an Iranian wild endemic medicinal plant species and its cultivation preformed under different Soil Textures (ST) and Soil Moisture Regimes (SMRs). Controlled pot culture conditions performed with light, moderate, heavy STs and a set of SMRs at 100% Field Capacity (FC), 70%FC and 30% FC. Plant cultivated in heavy STs had higher performance in all measured treats. Height of plant (HP), Calibrated Greenness (CG), Leaf Ratio (LR) and Angle (LA), aerial Moisture Content (MC) did not show a regular trend in comparison to the wild. Unlike the Density of Trichome (DT), Length of leave's Trichome (LT) showed a significant change under cultivation conditions (p < 0.01). Also, as a physiological response, Essential Oils Components (EOC), especially thymol and bicyclogermacrene decreased with decreasing soil MC for light ST and the lowest change were observed in heavy ST and 30%FC. Generally, cultivation reduced EOCs, but improved plant's morphological characteristics.

“…A plethora of research has been published, very recently, and I cite just a few here to provide some scope on the richness of information available for study [72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84]. Make no mistake that some of the studies cited are motivated by economics and proiteering, as the planet is scoured for 'new' plant materials that can become the 'next' food, nutraceutical, medicine or biotechnology product.…”

Beyond Turf and Lawn: Poaceae in This Age of Climate Change

Grasses - Benefits, Diversities and Functional Roles

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Grassland ecosystems dominated by Poaceae are estimated to cover 40.5% of Earth's land base, and domestication of a few edible grass species into highly productive cereal grains aided the shift from nomadic food gathering to ield cultivation and higher density habitation. In the Northern Hemisphere, grasses are used ornamentally and for pasture, fodder and forage with litle thought that the grasses livestock grazed upon, or those we gaze upon have multi-functional uses elsewhere. In this age of climate change, the use of Poaceae solely for aesthetics and amenity depletes inite potable water supplies that are needed for human survival. Agricultural land is consumed for turf seed production, and land is removed from food production. Cereals and their growing regions, which we have depended upon as food for millennia, are unlikely to adapt to climate change, and this will result in food insecurity and famines. Despite traditional uses of Poaceae in various cultures, many unrealized needs for food, medicine and other material goods could be met elsewhere with knowledge transfer. Our modern relationship with grass as an ornamental or amenity must end. As designers, gardeners and urban dwellers, we must use Poaceae for its multi-functions, which will lead to resilience and survival.

“…La humanidad ha dependido diferencialmente de la diversidad vegetal y animal para satisfacer sus necesidades básicas (Yazdanshenas et al, 2016). En relación a la salud, en el medio rural y en parte del medio urbano las poblaciones de escasos recursos económicos y limitada disponibilidad de servicios básicos médicos recurren a las plantas medicinales para tratar, aliviar y prevenir sus padecimientos (Hurtado-Rico et al, 2006); (Magaña-Alejandro et al, 2010); (Gheno-Heredia et al, 2011) (Nwachukwu C.U., 2010).…”
