Vine mealybugs disrupt biomass allocation in grapevine

OENO One, 2021
Vine mealybug Planococcus ficus Signoret (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is an important phloem-feeding pest species in many grapevine producing areas worldwide. The economic damage of P. ficus is thought to be mainly caused by sooty mould on infested grape clusters and transmission of plant viruses.

Clonal Patch Size and Ramet Position of Leymus chinensis Affected Reproductive Allocation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Reproductive allocation is critically important for population maintenance and usually varies with not only environmental factors but also biotic ones. As a typical rhizome clonal plant in China's northern grasslands, Leymus chinensis usually dominates ...

Quantifying carbon allocation to mycorrhizal fungi by temperate forest tree species across a nitrogen availability gradient [PDF]

, 2013
Terrestrial ecosystems make up the largest carbon pool with a major portion of that being forests. With carbon being a major concern due to global climate change, being able to make accurate models is increasingly important. Studies have shown that trees

Biomass Allocation Patterns across China’s Terrestrial Biomes

PLoS ONE, 2014
Root to shoot ratio (RS) is commonly used to describe the biomass allocation between below- and aboveground parts of plants. Determining the key factors influencing RS and interpreting the relationship between RS and environmental factors is important for biological and ecological research.

Climate Change Threatens Micronutrient Density of European Winter Wheat

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Micronutrients are vital for human health. Wheat is a major staple crop and a significant source of minerals and B‐vitamins. The impact of climate change on their content remains largely unknown. We evaluated micronutrient levels in European winter wheat grown under historical and projected climate conditions. Our findings indicate that future climates

Precipitation-driven biomass reallocation in a desert steppe: Unraveling adaptive strategies through a 6-year manipulative experiment

Global Ecology and Conservation
Understanding biomass allocation patterns is critical for predicting plant adaptation strategies under climate change scenarios. At present, the theory of biomass allocation (optimal allocation and equidistant allocation) is still controversial ...

Differentiation in seed mass and seedling biomass allocation in Prosopis laevigata throughout its distribution range in Mexico is associated to water availability

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2022
Background: Seedling establishment depends on the quality of the seeds and environmental conditions. Differential biomass allocation in emergent seedlings probably constitutes a relevant adaptive response of populations along environmental gradients.
