DNA barcoding and phylogenetic insights into the selected endemic flora of the Western Himalayas

Abstract The Himalayan region is recognized as one of the world’s major biodiversity hotspots due to its remarkable altitudinal variation, high species richness, and exceptional endemism. Despite its ecological significance, the endemic flo...

Siderophore-Mediated Interactions Determine the Disease Suppressiveness of Microbial Consortia

ABSTRACT Interactions between plant pathogens and root-associated microbes play an important role in determining disease outcomes. While several studies have suggested that steering these interactions may improve plant health, such approach...

Completing the picture of field-grown cereal crops: a new method for detailed leaf surface models in wheat

Abstract Background The leaf angle distribution (LAD) is an important structural parameter of agricultural crops that influences light interception, radiation fluxes and consequently plant performance. Therefore, LAD and its parametrized fo...

Photosynthetic Research in Plant Science

Photosynthesis is a highly regulated, multistep process. It encompasses the harvest of solar energy, transfer of excitation energy, energy conversion, electron transfer from water to NADP+, ATP generation and a series of enzymatic reactions...

Vitamin Deficiencies in Humans: Can Plant Science Help?

The term vitamin describes a small group of organic compounds that are absolutely required in the human diet. Although for the most part, dependency criteria are met in developed countries through balanced diets, this is not the case for th...

Effectiveness of 2,4-D/dicamba/dichlorprop-p premixture for controlling glyphosate-resistant kochia (Bassia scoparia L.) in Central Great Plains

Widespread evolution of glyphosate resistance among kochia populations is a serious challenge for growers across the North American Great Plains. Dicamba has historically been used to control glyphosate-resistant (Gly-R) kochia. However, th...

Effects of Kathon, a Chemical Used Widely as a Microbicide, on the Survival of Two Species of Mosquitoes

In recent decades, demands for novel insecticides against mosquitoes are soaring, yet candidate chemicals with desirable properties are limited. Kathon is a broad-spectrum isothiazolinone microbicide, but other applications remain uncharact...

„PROW 2007—2013” jest kolejnym programem wspierającym rozwój polskiego rolnictwa i regionów wiejskich unijnymi i krajowymi środkami publicznymi. Środki unijne wyniosą około 13,2 mld euro, krajowe publiczne blisko 4,0 mld euro, a środki włas...

Whole-Genome Resequencing Reveals Genetic Variation and Selection Signals in <i>Fusarium acuminatum</i> Causing <i>Astragalus</i> Root Rot

Astragalus root rot is a soil-borne disease primarily caused by Fusarium spp., which severely hampers the sustainable development of the Astragalus industry. F. acuminatum is a predominant pathogen causing this disease. To elucidate the gen...

Blue Light Upregulates Auxin Signaling and Stimulates Root Formation in Irregular Rooting of Rosemary Cuttings

Irregular rooting of rosemary stem cuttings, causing differences in either stem maturation or responses to growth conditions, restricts uniform production. Here, rooting efficiency of apical, middle, and basal cuttings from rosemary stems w...

Unravelling the interplay of ecological processes structuring the bacterial rare biosphere

Abstract Most ecological communities harbor many rare species (i.e., the rare biosphere), however, relatively little is known about how distinct ecological processes structure their existence. Here, we used spatiotemporal data on soil bacte...

Spatio-Temporal Occurrence Modeling of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Subtype H5N1: A Case Study in the Red River Delta, Vietnam

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) subtype H5N1 poses severe threats to both animals and humans. Investigating where, when and why the disease occurs is important to help animal health authorities develop effective control policies. T...

Monitoring of <i>Fusarium</i> Species and Trichothecene Genotypes Associated with <i>Fusarium</i> Head Blight on Wheat in Hebei Province, China

To clarify the changes in field populations of Fusarium head blight (FHB) pathogens over a decade, Fusarium species and trichothecene genotypes associated with FHB on wheat were monitored in Hebei province during the periods 2005&#8722;2006...
