Assessment of Pollen Production, Pollen Viability, Autofertility and Paternal Success in Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) for Better Exploitation of Grain Yield Heterosis

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In animal‐pollinated plants, pollen dispersal depends on several plant and animal characteristics that can influence the paternal success of a plant. Paternal success affects the genetic contribution of a genotype to the next generation, which is relevant to plant breeding.

Alleles From Crop Wild Relatives Accumulated by Long‐Term Adaptation to Low‐Input Environments Contribute to Yield Advantages in Wheat (Triticum aestivum)

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasingly variable climate conditions are affecting crop production, leading to greater yield fluctuations, which in turn are impacting global food security. Introducing alleles from regions where the expected stress conditions occur, so‐called exotic alleles, could serve as a means to mitigate these effects. We examined the value of exotic

How Plants May Maintain Protein Homeostasis Under Rising Atmospheric CO2

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vascular plants may employ several physiological mechanisms to stabilize their protein contents as atmospheric CO2 concentrations change over a day, year, decade, or century. One mechanism is that plants may rely more on soil ammonium as their nitrogen source when CO2 increases.

The Impacts of Weather Variability and Shocks on Farmers and Indigenous Peoples' Consumption: Evidence From Panama

open access: yesReview of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Weather variability and shocks pose significant challenges for tropical developing countries, making it crucial to understand their effects on consumption to address the existing deficiencies among the most vulnerable groups. This study examines the impact of weather variability and shocks on household consumption in Panama, utilizing repeated

Jumping on the moon as a potential exercise countermeasure

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Moon's gravitational field strength (17% Earth's gravity) may facilitate the use of bodyweight jumping as an exercise countermeasure against musculoskeletal and cardiovascular deconditioning in reduced gravity settings. The present study characterised the acute physiological and kinetic responses to bodyweight jumping in simulated Lunar ...

Potential health benefits of cold‐water immersion: the central role of PGC‐1α

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Cold‐water immersion (CWI) elicits autonomic, somato‐motoric (shivering thermogenesis), endocrine and metabolic, sensory transduction, and local biophysical effects that may converge on the transcriptional co‐activator PGC‐1α (centre).
