Genotyping-by-sequencing resolves relationships in Polygonaceae tribe Eriogoneae
(Wiley, 2021-08)
The resolution of cryptic diversity is essential for understanding the evolutionary diversification of lineages and establishing conservation priorities. We examine relationships in Eriogoneae (Polygonaceae), a diverse ...
A wheat cysteine-rich receptor-like kinase confersbroad-spectrum resistance against Septoria tritici blotch
(Nature, 2021-01-19)
The poverty of disease resistance gene reservoirs limits the breeding of crops for durable resistance against evolutionary dynamic pathogens. Zymoseptoria tritici which causes Septoria tritici blotch (STB), represents one ...
Acceptance of Near-Natural Greenspace Management Relates to Ecological and Socio-Cultural Assigned Values Among European Urbanites
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Grasslands are widespread elements of urban greenspace providing recreational, psychological and aesthetic benefits to city residents. Two urban grassland types of contrasting management dominate urban greenspaces: frequently ...
Comparison of Sampling Methods for Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Forested Wetlands
(Elsevier, 2021-06)
Forest wetlands are biodiversity hotspots that perform functions of vital ecological importance, but they are among the world's most threatened ecosystems. Due to their high diversity of habitats and species, the study of ...
Potential alien ranges of European plants will shrink in the future, but less so for already naturalized than for not yet naturalized species
(Wiley, 2021-11)
Aims The rapid increase in the number of species that have naturalized beyond their native range is among the most apparent features of the Anthropocene. How alien species will respond to other processes of future global ...
Short-Term Exposure to High Atmospheric Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) Severely Impacts Durum Wheat Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism in the Absence of Edaphic Water Stress
(MDPI, 2021-01-08)
Low atmospheric relative humidity (RH) accompanied by elevated air temperature and decreased precipitation are environmental challenges that wheat production will face in future decades. These changes to the atmosphere are ...
Enlisting wild grass genes to combat nitrification in wheat farming: A nature-based solution
(National Academy Of Sciences, 2021-08-31)
Active nitrifiers and rapid nitrification are major contributing factors to nitrogen losses in global wheat production. Suppressing nitrifier activity is an effective strategy to limit N losses from agriculture. Production ...
Growth and Nutritional Quality of Lemnaceae Viewed Comparatively in an Ecological and Evolutionary Context
(MDPI, 2021-01-06)
This review focuses on recently characterized traits of the aquatic floating plant Lemna with an emphasis on its capacity to combine rapid growth with the accumulation of high levels of the essential human micronutrient ...
Environmental Determinants of COVID 19 Transmission Across a Wide Climatic Gradient in Chile
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021-05-10)
Several studies have examined the transmission dynamics of the novel COVID-19 disease in different parts of the world. Some have reported relationships with various environmental variables, suggesting that spread of the ...
Allergenicity to worldwide invasive grass Cortaderia selloana as environmental risk to public health
(Nature, 2021-12-24)
Allergies to grass pollen affects about 20% of the population worldwide. In the last few decades, the South American grass Cortaderia selloana (CS, Pampas grass) has expanded worldwide in a variety of countries including ...
