Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Contrasting CO2‐response strategies in Pardina lentils: Yield maximization in a commercial cultivar and seed composition adjustment in a landrace

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Assessing crop's responses to elevated carbon dioxide (eCO2) is crucial for global food security. This study examines the impact of eCO2 (700 μmol mol−1) on the cultivars of lentil (Lens culinaris), local Pardina Verde Rayada lentil (PVRL), and commercial Pardina lentil (PL) in terms of the productivity and nutritional composition ...

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Analysis of gene expression changes in canola in response to inoculation with biotic and abiotic elicitors to Alternaria brassicae

Siberian Journal of Life Sciences and Agriculture
Background. Alternaria brassicae is one of the most destructive pathogens of oilseed rape growth and production. Oilseed rape roots treated with biotic and abiotic elicitors have shown resistance to A. brassicae as a result of induced systemic resistance

Sunflower breeding for biotic stress resistance

, 2017
The main objective of NS sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) breeding program is development of high-yielding hybrids with high oil content, stable and tolerant to biotic and abiotic stresses. Sunflower diseases represent a limiting factor in production and can cause severe losses of yield and quality.

Distribution under climate change of Anemone coronaria: linking flower colour and seed dispersal

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Flower colour polymorphism is driven by divergent selection regimes on the colour morphs across time and space. Anemone coronaria, a colour‐polymorphic geophyte with red, purple, and white flowers, displays a geographic pattern along Israel's aridity gradient: polymorphic populations are restricted to Mediterranean climates, while monomorphic‐red ...

The feasibility principle in community ecology

Oikos, EarlyView.
The structure and function of ecological communities emerge from interactions among populations within specific environmental contexts. Yet we still lack general principles that explain how communities assemble, which patterns we should expect, and when transitions occur across diverse settings.

Identification of molecular markers associated to new sources of resistance to the root-knot nematode in cotton : S02T04 [PDF]

, 2013
The root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne incognita is a major constraint in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production in numerous countries. Control of RKN has been hampered by the lack of options for crop rotation and even more, by the lack of high ...

Community dynamics of lignicolous lichens on standing deadwood in a 275‐year chronosequence

Oikos, EarlyView.
Dead trees provide discrete habitat patches in which patch quality changes gradually due to wood decomposition. Although in most cases these patches persist for not more than a few decades, in some ecosystems deadwood decomposition and the consequent change in habitat patch quality can be a centuries‐long process, potentially leading to dynamics of ...

Selection for resistance to cacao Moniliasis assisted by molecular markers : S04P06 [PDF]

, 2013
The basidiomycete Moniliophthora rorer, the etiological agent of Moniliasis, reaches cacao plantations (Theobroma cacao) in Central and South Americas, but its occurrence is still not registered in Brazil .
