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.

Integrative Pre-Breeding for Biotic Resistance in Forest Trees. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2021 Climate change is unleashing novel biotic antagonistic interactions for forest trees that may jeopardize populations’ persistence. Therefore, this review article envisions highlighting major opportunities from ecological evolutionary genomics to assist the identification, conservation, and breeding of biotic resistance in forest tree species ...

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.

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 invasion along an estuarine gradient [PDF]
Oecologia, 2010 Biotic resistance is the ability of native communities to repel the establishment of invasive species. Predation by native species may confer biotic resistance to communities, but the environmental context under which this form of biotic resistance occurs is not well understood.

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

Resistance to Biotic and Abiotic Stress in the Triticeae [PDF]
Hereditas, 2004 Poverty, hunger and malnutrition occur in many parts of the world despite the enormous progress that has taken place in agriculture and food production in the last century. It is estimated for wheat, that by 2020 the world will require a 60% increase in production to meet the projected requirement. Resistance to both biotic and abiotic stresses will be

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
