A Deep Metagenomic Snapshot as a Proof-of-Concept for Resource Generation: Simultaneous Assembly of Host, Food, and Microbiome Genomes From Stingless Bee Larval Food. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study serves as a proof‐of‐concept, demonstrating that deep shotgun sequencing of a single complex sample—stingless bee larval food—can simultaneously generate multiple genomic resources. From this dataset, we assembled three genomes (a near‐complete bacterium, a draft host mitochondrion, and a fragmented plant chloroplast) with varying ...

Artificial pollination of kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis Planch. var. chinensis) (Ericales: Actinidiaceae) results in greater fruit set compared to flowers pollinated by managed bees (Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) and Bombus impatiens Cresson (Hymenoptera: Apidae))

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2023
Due to a lack of knowledge on the pollination requirements of kiwifruit cultivars grown within the United States, farmers simultaneously implement multiple pollination methods, like the rental of managed bee species or artificial pollination to achieve ...

The Pollination and Fruit Quality of Two Kiwifruit Cultivars (Actinidia chinensis var. chinensis ‘AU Golden Sunshine’ and ‘AU Gulf Coast Gold') (Ericales: Actinidiaceae) Grown in the Southeastern United States

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2021
Kiwifruit is a new emerging crop for the southeastern United States that requires cross-pollination to set fruit. However, the pollination requirements for varieties grown in the southeastern United States are unknown.

Pollen‐pistil interaction in kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa; Actinidiaceae) [PDF]

American Journal of Botany, 1996
The pollen‐pistil interaction has been examined in kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa). In this species a large number of seeds are produced in each fruit and a great many pollen grains germinate and grow to reach the ovules. This growth is assisted by an abundant secretion that is present all along the pistilar tract. At anthesis, the stigma is covered by

The Role of Plant Evolutionary History in Shaping the Variation in Specific Leaf Area Across China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In this study, we analyzed the influences of climatic conditions and soil properties on the specific leaf area (SLA), calculated the phylogenetic signals of SLA, and quantified the relative contributions of evolutionary history to the spatial variation in SLA. We underscored the importance of evolutionary history in shaping the spatial variation of SLA

Food supply in honeybee colonies improved kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa Liang & Ferguson) (Actinidiaceae: Theales) pollination services

Revista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina, 2021
The current agriculture model determines a decrease in semi-natural habitats leading to poor nutrition for honeybee colonies, which usually need to be food supplemented.

Evolution of plant ribosome-inactivating proteins [PDF]

, 2010
This contribution presents an updated analysis of the evolution of ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) in plants. All evidence suggests that an ancestor of modern seed plants developed the RIP domain at least 300 million years ago.
