Social and cultural considerations for the restoration of ‘lost’ tree species: The fall and rise of elm

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Attempts to address biodiversity loss have led to ecosystem and species restoration efforts. Tree species restoration is particularly relevant because of increasing threats from pests and pathogens. However, there are different notions of ‘loss’, as well as sociocultural considerations, including social acceptability, which are often neglected

Hurdles to overcome to achieve biostimulant‐driven, low chemical input crop production

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop production requires considerable chemical inputs that result in significant greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental costs. Biostimulants are natural agents, such as microorganisms or seaweed, applied to plants and soil to stimulate plant growth and reduce chemical inputs. Biostimulant use is rapidly increasing globally, but hurdles remain,

Potential distribution and susceptibility of Coffea arabica L. to climate change impacts

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Ecological niche models (ENMs) are vital for understanding the impact of historical factors on ecosystems and predicting future climate change scenarios. These models help assess how environmental shifts affect agricultural species like coffee, which supports millions of people globally.

Field resistance of orange fruit to citrus black spot and citrus canker in D‐limonene synthase downregulated trees

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Genetically modified (GM) sweet‐oranges with downregulated CitMTSE1 gene showed reduced citrus black spot severity and citrus canker incidence, confirming terpene modulation as a promising strategy for sustainable field citrus disease resistance. Abstract BACKGROUND Citrus black spot (CBS), caused by Phyllosticta citricarpa, and citrus canker (CC ...
