“…Collections that span the full geographic and environmental range of the wild relative of a crop are more likely to capture a representative range of adaptations. The intra-population diversity of CWR collected in nature has been studied in cereals [ 5 – 7 ], but rarely in legume wild relatives in contrast to domesticated legume crops [ 8 – 12 ].…”

Knowledge of current genetic diversity and mating systems of crop wild relatives (CWR) in the Fertile Crescent is important in crop genetic improvement, because western agriculture began in the area after the cold-dry period known as Younger Dryas about 12,000 years ago and these species are also wild genepools of the world’s most important food crops. Wild pea (Pisum sativum subsp. elatius) is an important source of genetic diversity for further pea crop improvement harbouring traits useful in climate change context. The genetic structure was assessed on 187 individuals of Pisum sativum subsp. elatius from fourteen populations collected in the northern part of the Fertile Crescent using 18,397 genome wide single nucleotide polymorphism DARTseq markers. AMOVA showed that 63% of the allelic variation was distributed between populations and 19% between individuals within populations. Four populations were found to contain admixed individuals. The observed heterozygosity ranged between 0.99 to 6.26% with estimated self-pollination rate between 47 to 90%. Genetic distances of wild pea populations were correlated with geographic but not environmental (climatic) distances and support a mixed mating system with predominant self-pollination. Niche modelling with future climatic projections showed a local decline in habitats suitable for wild pea, making a strong case for further collection and ex situ conservation.

“…However, the world community is hardly aware of the vast complex works conducted at VIR in the 1960s-1980s with the aim of searching for and studying V. formosа. A number of plant explorations launched by VIR succeeded in collecting seeds and whole plants of V. formosа, thus initiating morphological, karyological, anatomical, hybridological and immunochemical research on this rare species at the Institute's departments and laboratories (Abramova, 1971;Makasheva, Drozd, Adamova and Golubev, 1973;Petrova, 1973;Tarlakovskaya, 1975;Makasheva, 1979;Tarlakovskaya, Gavrilyuk and Маkasheva, 1979;Golubev, 1990). Indeed, VIR may claim a priority right to the complex study of V. formosа.…”

In the 1960s–1980s, the Vavilov Institute of Plant Industry, known worldwide as VIR, organized a substantial series of studies dedicated to a Caucasian endemic, the Pliocene relic Vavilovia formosa (Fabeae: Fabaceae). Those investigations are little known to the scientific community, although, in fact, the priority right for integrated research into this plant belongs to VIR. As a result of the cycle of studies, the first ideas about the biology and ecology of the species, the manner of its reproduction, its intraspecific diversity, the degree of crossability with other members of the tribe, its karyotype and anatomy were developed. The plants of V. formosa are not reproduced ex situ and their germplasm is absent in the world’s gene banks. Therefore, collecting V. formosa plants in their hard-to-reach habitats in the mountains is always crucial for research purposes, so a number of collecting expeditions were launched to the Greater Caucasus. The data thus obtained are discussed in the context of modern achievements in world science regarding this species.

“…In 1939, the plant was revised by Federov on the base of morphological characteristics and placed in a new genus as Vavilovia Fed. named to honour of Nikolai Ivanovich Vavilov (Kenicer et al 2009;Mikic et al 2009;Mikic et al 2013;Smykal et al 2017). The following synonymous of the plant were reported by Davies (1970) and Mikic et al (2009): Syn: Orobus formosus 102 Stev., Pisum aucheri Jaub.…”

“…It is also found in high mountain areas in Azerbaijan (Carjagin 1954), Armenia (Gabrielyan 1962), Dagestan (Murtazaliev 2012;Burlyaeva et al 2014;Vishnyakova et al 2016) and Georgia (Kolakovskiy 1958;Arabuli 1981). Among these countries, Turkey is the first rank on the basis of richness of the beautiful vavilovia (Davies 1970;Deniz and Sümbül 2004;Eren et al 2004;Kenicer et al 2009;Mikic et al 2009Mikic et al , 2014Smykal et al 2017). Beautiful vavilovia was categorized as endangered species in many of these countries (Smykal et al 2017) due to fact that it is in danger in their natural environment owing to the grazing by herds of goat.…”

Priming of seeds increases uniformly germination rate in cultivated and wild species as well, it also shortens germination and emergence time. Beautiful vavilovia, Vavilovia formasa (Stev.) Al. Fed. is a relict and endangered legume crop which is the closest relatives of the genus Pisum L. In beautiful vavilovia, seed priming has ignored due to insufficient seed production of the plant. In the present report, three seed priming including hydro-priming, glycerol (%1) and potassium chloride (KCl) of 5% were compared to control (no-priming application). Findings have shown that seed priming with glycerol significantly accelerated germination time in beautiful vavilovia. Despite better germination time with hydro-priming after glycerol, hydro-priming had almost similar to control. Germination was stalled off at KCl treatment indicating that beautiful vavilovia could be salt susceptible. Priming with glycerol can be suggested as the fast and reliable germination of seeds of relict beautiful vavilovia.
