Syrphid Diversity in Sweet Alyssum Flower Strips in Quebec's Lettuce Fields: Molecular Identification and Delimitation of the <i>Sphaerophoria</i> Complex. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
This study demonstrates that sweet alyssum effectively attracts syrphid species, the majority of which are aphid predators, making it a promising tool for biological control in Quebec lettuce fields. With Toxomerus marginatus as the most abundant species, the research also underscores taxonomic challenges within the Sphaerophoria complex and provides a

Synergistic Effect of Organic Waste Products and Microbial Inocula on Iron and Zinc Biofortification in Cowpea [<i>Vigna unguiculata</i> (L.) Walp.]. [PDF]

open access: yesFood Sci Nutr
Agro‐biofortification using micronutrient‐rich organic waste products combined with local beneficial microorganisms and mycorrhizal fungi substantially enhanced iron and zinc concentrations in cowpea. Across contrasting seasons, this integrated approach increased Fe by up to 48% in grains and 259% in haulms, and Zn by up to 28% in grains and 265% in ...

Influence of Plant Species and De-Icing Salt on Microbial Communities in Bioretention. [PDF]

open access: yesEnviron Microbiol Rep
Plant species shape bioretention bacterial and fungal communities and their associated functions, which drive system efficiency. These results underscore the importance of plant selection when designing bioretention systems. Moreover, the communities were preserved or recovered within 5 months after the exposure to NaCl levels typical of spring runoff.

Variation in flower size and shape of Impatiens capensis is correlated with urbanization in Montreal, Canada

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Urbanization is changing the conditions in which many species live, forcing them to adjust to these novel environments. Floral size and shape are critical traits for the reproduction of plants pollinated by animals as they are involved in the attraction ...

The Solanum chacoense Fertilization-Related Kinase 3 (ScFRK3) is involved in male and female gametophyte development

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background The Fertilization-related kinases (FRK) form a class that belongs to the MEKK subfamily of plant MAPKKKs. It was recently shown that FRK class kinases expanded during angiosperm evolution, reaching their maximum numbers in the lineage leading ...

Carbon Fluxes in Potato (Solanum tuberosum) Remain Stable in Cell Cultures Exposed to Nutritional Phosphate Deficiency

open access: yesBiology, 2023
Nutritional phosphate deficiency is a major limitation to plant growth. Here, we monitored fluxes in pathways supporting respiratory metabolism in potato (Solanum tuberosum) cell cultures growing in control or limiting phosphate conditions.

Willow and Herbaceous Species’ Phytoremediation Potential in Zn-Contaminated Farm Field Soil in Eastern Québec, Canada: A Greenhouse Feasibility Study

open access: yesPlants, 2022
Phytoremediation shows great promise as a plant-based alternative to conventional clean-up methods that are prohibitively expensive. As part of an integrated strategy, the selection of well-adapted plant species as well as planting and management ...
