Biotic resistance in marine environments
Ecology Letters, 2013AbstractBiological invasions depend in part on the resistance of native communities. Meta‐analyses of terrestrial experiments demonstrate that native primary producers and herbivores generally resist invasions of primary producers, and that resistance through competition strengthens with native producer diversity.

Biotic resistance to plant invasions.
2020Biotic resistance to plant invasions takes many forms: consumption by native herbivores, competition with native plants and infection by native pathogens. But how often does biotic resistance prevent the damaging monocultures that typify the most problematic plant invaders, and how often is biotic resistance overwhelmed by the direct and indirect ...

RESISTANCE TO BIOTIC STRESS IN FRUIT TREES
Acta Horticulturae, 2003Resistance to pests and diseases is a highly desirable objective in fruit breeding but is a long-term endeavor. It requires appropriate tests for early screening and an analysis of host-parasite interactions for durability of resistance. Host resistance is considered durable when it remains effective for a long period despite an intensive exposure to ...

Genomic Designing for Biotic Stress Resistant Cocoa Tree
2022Cocoa tree (Theobroma cacao L.) is cultivated mainly in tropical regions and produces beans that are used for chocolate manufacture. Worldwide, cocoa bean production is threatened by biotic stresses, mainly fungus, oomycetes, virus and other pests. The understanding of the determinism of the plant-pathogen interactions as well as the different and ...

Biotic resistance and island susceptibility hypotheses.
2018Abstract The biotic resistance hypothesis sensu stricto is also known as the diversity-invasibility hypothesis. It proposes that ecosystems with high biodiversity are more resistant against non-native species than ecosystems with lower biodiversity.

Trophic rewilding revives biotic resistance to shrub invasion
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2020Trophic rewilding seeks to rehabilitate degraded ecosystems by repopulating them with large animals, thereby re-establishing strong top-down interactions. Yet there are very few tests of whether such initiatives can restore ecosystem structure and functions, and on what timescales.

Genomics Approaches to Biotic Stress Resistance
2016Sorghum productivity around the world is influenced by a wide array of biotic and abiotic constraints, some of which cause significant economic losses. Great efforts have been made in the past to improve plant resistance to biotic stresses such as insect pests, diseases, and parasitic weeds through breeding and genetic engineering.

Biotic stress resistance in agriculture through antimicrobial peptides
Peptides, 2012Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are the hosts' defense molecules against microbial pathogens and gaining extensive research attention worldwide. These have been reported to play vital role of host innate immunity in response to microbial challenges. AMPs can be used as a natural antibiotic as an alternative of their chemical counterpart for protection of

Breeding for Resistance to Biotic Stresses
2020Biotic stresses are one of the major causes of economic damage in sorghum crop. These stresses that cause sorghum crop yield losses are large and diverse and include insects, diseases, and parasitic plants. Over 150 insects have been listed as pests or potential pests of sorghum (Jotwani and Young, Recent developments on chemical control of insect ...

Genomic Designing for Biotic Stress Resistant Rice
2021Among major cereal crops, rice plays an important role in global food security as well as to the economic and social stability. Considering the impacts of global warming on agriculture and alarming yield losses due to biotic and abiotic stresses as well as the effect of the climate change on the future insect-pest scenario, effective utilization of ...
