Transgenic Improvement for Biotic Resistance of Crops. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 Biotic constraints, including pathogenic fungi, viruses and bacteria, herbivory insects, as well as parasitic nematodes, cause significant yield loss and quality deterioration of crops. The effect of conventional management of these biotic constraints is limited.

Breeding for Biotic Stress Resistance in Pea
Agriculture, 2023 Pea (Pisum sativum) stands out as one of the most significant and productive cool-season pulse crops cultivated worldwide. Dealing with biotic stresses remains a critical challenge in fully harnessing pea’s potential productivity.

Genomic Designing for Biotic Stress Resistant Grapevine
, 2022 Grapevines are challenged by a range of diseases and pests, causing economic losses and requiring often costly approaches to mitigate damage. Public interest in reducing the use of chemicals is a related challenge, along with climate change. Yet, the Vitis gene pool provides vast resources for the development of genetic resistance in rootstock and ...

Biotic resistance to tropical ornamental invasion [PDF]
Journal of Ecology, 2016 Summary We examined invasive, casual (found occasionally outside cultivation) and non‐invasive (found only in cultivation) species to investigate the role of species traits and two forms of biotic resistance (plant neighbours and herbivores) in limiting invasion in Hawaiian lowlands.

Mechanisms of Invasion Resistance of Aquatic Plant Communities
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Invasive plant species are among the major threats to freshwater biodiversity. Few experimental studies have investigated whether native plant diversity can provide biotic resistance to invaders in freshwater ecosystems. At small spatial scales, invasion

Advanced Breeding for Biotic Stress Resistance in Poplar
Plants, 2022 Poplar is one of the most important forest trees because of its high economic value. Thanks to the fast-growing rate, easy vegetative propagation and transformation, and availability of genomic resources, poplar has been considered the model species for forest genetics, genomics, and breeding.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 We assess whether arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) improve growth, nutritional status, phenology, flower and fruit production, and disease resistance in woody perennial crops using apple (Malus pumila) as a study system. In a fully factorial experiment,

Endemics and Cosmopolitans: Application of Statistical Mechanics to the Dry Forests of Mexico
Entropy, 2019 Data on the seasonally dry tropical forests of Mexico have been examined in the light of statistical mechanics. The results suggest a division into two classes of species. There are drifting populations of a cosmopolitan class capable of existing in most

Six central questions about biological invasions to which NEON data science is poised to contribute
Ecosphere, 2021 Biological invasions are a leading cause of rapid ecological change and often present a significant financial burden. As a vibrant discipline, invasion biology has made important strides in identifying, mapping, and beginning to manage invasions, but ...

eLife, 2021 Common garden experiments that inoculate a standardised growth medium with synthetic microbial communities (i.e. constructed from individual isolates or using dilution cultures) suggest that the ability of the community to resist invasions by additional ...
