The Leaf Length-Width Method Is Applicable to Compound Leaves of Diverse Forms

open access: yesAgriculture
To estimate leaf area, the length-width method, also called the Montgomery equation, has been widely used. It is an empirical formula stating that within a given species, the area of a leaf is proportional to the product of its length and width. Although

The genome sequence of Logfia minima (Sm.) Dumort., 1827 (Asterales: Asteraceae)

open access: yesWellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly of Logfia minima (Small Cudweed; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Asterales; Asteraceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 544.90 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.43%) is scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules.

Honey bee pollination improves the yield gaps of Guizotia abyssinica (Asterales: Asteraceae) in Ethiopia

open access: yes
Abstract Niger is an important oilseed crop, and its flowering phenology is highly responsive to cross-pollination. Honey bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) are the crop's important pollinators due to their adaptation to wide environments. A comparative analysis was performed under field conditions to evaluate the effect of honey bee pollination and ...
