, 2020 Jujube fruit has important nutritional and medicinal qualities and is one of the most economically valuable fruits in China. Field-scale jujube fruit yield estimation using site-specific techniques can provide indicators of the reasons for yield gaps, which could be promising to better understand spatial yield variation in jujube orchards, thereby ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Traditional knowledge about wild plants connects people to nature and sustains both cultural identity and biodiversity. This study explores how cultural exchange among Albanians, Greeks and Aromanians in southern Albania shapes the use and naming of medicinal and food plants.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.There is an increasing risk of drought and salinisation of soil and groundwater globally, including in Pacific Island countries such as Tonga. Irrigating crops with slightly saline water, such as that produced by emerging desalination technologies, could help to alleviate droughts.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Early modern herbaria house important and useful data on historic environments. However, their contents are often inhospitable to scientific use. Despite this challenge, once their contents have been deciphered, such specimens present novel research opportunities.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.This article reports the first genome sequence of a UK Alternaria brassicae isolate. Dual RNA‐sequencing profiling of A. brassicae‐infected Brassica juncea leaves identified differentially expressed genes involved in pathogenicity and host response pathways in moderately resistant Sej‐2 (2) and moderately susceptible Pusa Jaikisan cultivars.

Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.

Soybean induced resistance to Spodoptera eridania herbivory
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.SOD, CAT, APX, PPO, KTI, and MDA levels were higher in the resistant soybean. S. eridania herbivory increased H2O2 and MDA, but decreased SOD and PPO levels. S. eridania herbivory increased KTI activity only in the resistant variety. Isoquercitrin and daidzin were exclusive to resistant and susceptible soybeans.

Ashwagandha: Is It Safe? Part 1: A Regulatory Review
Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Over the last decade, ashwagandha (Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal, AS) has been brought under increasing scrutiny by EU regulators regarding its safety for the use in food supplements, culminating in a recent recommendation for an Article 8 procedure according to Regulation (EC) No. 1925/2006 in the European Union (EU).

Exploiting Aeolus winds in a regional numerical weather prediction model
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Aeolus measured winds have proven to be beneficial for global models. However, demonstrating positive impact for limited‐area models has been a challenge so far. For the first time, we have demonstrated a statistically significant positive impact of Aeolus winds in a limited‐area model by using the 4DVar data assimilation technique and the most recent ...
