Toward an Improved Conceptual Understanding of North American Tree Species Distributions

, 2017
Species distributions have often been assumed to represent climatic limitations, yet recent evidence has challenged these assumptions and emphasized the potential importance of biotic interactions, dispersal limitation, and disturbance.

Sugar‐Armored Pesticides: Self‐Assembled System for Enhanced Foliar Adhesion and Sustained Delivery of Hydrophobic Antimicrobials Against Bacterial Diseases

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a sugar‐armored, self‐assembled pesticide delivery system that enhances foliar adhesion, provides sustained release, effectively disrupts biofilms, and demonstrates superior bactericidal activity for improved disease control.

From Signaling to Stress: How Does Plant Redox Homeostasis Behave under Phytophagous Mite Infestation?

International Journal of Plant Biology
Plants are directly exposed to several biotic factors. Among these, mite species belonging to the superfamilies Eriophyoidea and Tetranychoidea stand out due to their ability to injure or even transmit viruses to their host plants.

THE BIOTIC FACTOR IN MODIFICATION OF GRASSLAND

Proceedings of the New Zealand Grassland Association, 1934
The subject matter of this paper is based on two somewhat seemingly diametrically opposed concepts: (1) Stock in large numbers adequately fed make the country.

A CLE11b‐CLE16 Signaling Relay Mediates Root‐Shoot‐Root Crosstalk for Drought Adaptation in Common Bean

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel root‐shoot‐root signaling relay, mediated by CLE peptides, coordinates drought adaptation in common bean. Root‐derived PvCLE11b translocates acropetally to leaves, inducing PvCLE16 expression via PvTCP10. Leaf‐accumulated PvCLE16 triggers stomatal closure and translocates basipetally to modulate root architecture.

Combined genetic and genomic approaches to characterize a durable Hevea resistance to South American leaf blight : S01T07 [PDF]

, 2013
The South American Leaf Blight (SALB), due to the Ascomycota Microcyclus ulei, threatens the world production of natural rubber, based on the cultivation of nearly only one species: the tropical tree Hevea brasiliensis.

Phylogenomics reveals the evolution of floral traits associated with pollinators and pollinator–prey conflict within the carnivorous Pinguicula subgenus Temnoceras

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The carnivorous plant genus Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae) exhibits remarkable floral diversity associated with pollination, particularly in the largest subgenus Temnoceras, which spans Mexico and Central America. Despite this diversity, the relationships between species and the evolution of key floral traits remain unresolved. Here, we

Material Limitations and Processing Challenges of Bio‐Based Thermoplastics: A Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advances in bio‐based thermoplastic polymers (b‐bTPs), focusing on their composition, formulation challenges, and industrial applications. Key aspects include the use of additives and blends to improve performance, microcellular injection molding techniques, and the recyclability of b‐bTPs foams.

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.
