New gSSR and EST-SSR markers reveal high genetic diversity in the invasive plant Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. and can be transferred to other invasive Ambrosia species.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., (common ragweed), is an annual invasive and highly troublesome plant species originating from North America that has become widespread across Europe.

Genetic gain and yield performance of 42 genotypes of Coffea canephora in Brazil

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Coffea canephora is a species of major economic and social importance, and the identification of superior genotypes is essential for sustainable crop improvement. This study evaluated the performance of 42 C. canephora genotypes over six consecutive harvests (2016–2021) to estimate genetic parameters and assess the efficiency of multi‐harvest ...

Genetic and Morphological Diversity in Spontaneous Populations of Brassica rapa: How Do Feral Populations Differ From Wild Ones?

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 13, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Crop wild relatives are a valuable source of genetic material for improving cultivated crops. However, feral populations—self‐sustaining plants that have escaped cultivation—are often mistaken for wild relatives because they exhibit traits such as seed dispersal and dormancy, which resemble wild forms and support persistence in natural ...

Dynamics of Glyphosate Resistance in Lolium perenne: Pollen-Mediated Gene Flow under Field Conditions in Argentina

Agronomy, 2018
The genus Lolium has shown a high tendency to evolve resistance to herbicides. Considering the high level of allogamy of L. perenne and the importance of the wind as an agent for pollen dispersion, the aim of this work was to assess and quantify the ...

In Vivo Propagation of Root Explants of the Dandelion Species Taraxacum kok‐saghyz, Taraxacum officinale and Their Interspecific Hybrids

Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 3, Page 610-624, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The dandelion species Taraxacum kok‐saghyz is a promising new crop for natural rubber production and is currently in the early stages of the breeding process. To support these efforts, the multiplication and conservation of defined genotypes are crucial.

Reproductive biology aspects of two species of the genus Gavilea (Orchidaceae, Chloraeinae) in populations from Central Chile Aspectos de la biología reproductiva de dos especies del género Gavilea (Orchidaceae, Chloraeinae) en poblaciones de Chile central

Gayana: Botanica, 2010
The extent to which plants depend on pollinators for outcross pollen transportation is a key issue in plant reproductive ecology. We evaluated the putative breeding system, foral display, and natural pollination in two Southern Cone of South American ...

Pollination‐related plant traits under environmental changes: Seasonal and daily mismatches produce temporal constraints

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1127-1137, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollination is a key tenet of ecosystem sustainability and food security, but it is threatened by climate change. While many studies investigated the response of plant‐pollination traits to temperature, few attempted multifactorial and integrative approaches with ...

Plant-pollinator interactions of the ground flora of a deciduous woodland [PDF]

, 1994
The relationship between plants and pollinators were investigated in Shincliffe Woods, Durham, using 35 fixed quadrats. For three months, May, June and July, flowering phenology of the ground flora, general insect abundance and pollinator abundance were ...

The Red Queen unveils the sexual and mating strategies of flowers

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Although the conventional wisdom is that floral traits of plants evolved in concert with their mutualistic pollinators, here we showed that several key sexual and mating traits of plants, which modulate their outcrossing strategy, evolved in response to the pressure exerted by their antagonistic insect herbivores.
