Reconciling Techno-simplicity and Eco-complexity for future food security [PDF]

, 2015
Ecological intensification has been proposed as a paradigm for ensuring global food security while preserving biodiversity and ecosystem integrity. Ecologicalintensification was originally coined to promote precise site-specific farming practices aimed ...

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

A native parasitic plant and soil microorganisms facilitate a native plant co‐occurrence with an invasive plant

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Invasive plants often interact with antagonists that include native parasitic plants and pathogenic soil microbes, which may reduce fitness of the invaders. However, to date, most of the studies on the ecological consequences of antagonistic interactions

Improving “Low Input” Sheep Production Systems in Europe [PDF]

, 2011
Sheep production in EU represents more than 100 millions heads which are mainly found in less favoured areas throughout Europe. Small ruminants are usually kept in geographical areas where other livestock or crop industries are difficult to ...

Insect-induced daidzein, formononetin and their conjugates in soybean leaves. [PDF]

, 2014
In response to attack by bacterial pathogens, soybean (Gylcine max) leaves accumulate isoflavone aglucones, isoflavone glucosides, and glyceollins. In contrast to pathogens, the dynamics of related insect-inducible metabolites in soybean leaves remain ...

Bacterial diet and weak cadmium stress affect the survivability of Caenorhabditis elegans and its resistance to severe stress

Heliyon, 2019
Stress may have negative or positive effects in dependence of its intensity (hormesis). We studied this phenomenon in Caenorhabditis elegans by applying weak or severe abiotic (cadmium, CdCl2) and/or biotic stress (different bacterial diets) during ...

Understanding Biotic Stress and Hormone Signalling in Cassava (Manihot esculenta): Potential for Using Hyphenated Analytical Techniques

Applied Sciences, 2020
Biotic stresses often constitute major factors limiting global crop yields. A better understanding of plant responses to these stresses will facilitate efforts to improve stress tolerance and yields, especially in a climatically changing world.

Cabbage breeding tools for biotic and abiotic resistance

Romanian journal of Horticulture
Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) is an important vegetable crop grown globally for its nutritional value and economic importance. However, cabbage production faces significant challenges from various biotic and abiotic stresses, including pests, diseases, and environmental factors such as drought, heat, and salinity.
