Analysing the Ecological Requirements of the Australian Tortoise Beetle Trachymela sloanei (Blackburn, 1897) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) to Determine the Prospects for Its Invasion Process

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Invasive species pose a serious threat to biodiversity and result in significant economic costs. Although much effort is devoted to understanding invasive processes, some aspects are poorly understood, such as the early stages of invasions and the reasons for invasion failure.

Effect of hydrogen cyanamide (HC) on release of floral bud dormancy, endogenous hormone and carbohydrate in Pyrus pyrifolia cv. Cuiguan

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2013
Bud dormancy is an adaptive developmental process for perennial deciduous fruit trees to survive under the adverse environmental conditions, which is released when both the chilling requirement and growth temperature are achieved.

Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes the responses and adaptations of tree growth, including canopy phenology, intra‐annual wood formation dynamics, and annual stem growth, to climate change and climate extremes. It highlights key knowledge gaps for future research to support sustainable forest management and enhance forest carbon storage under ongoing climate ...

Towards an integrated molecular understanding of plant hormones

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review offers a comprehensive overview of the nine plant hormones, delving into their biosynthesis, transport, signaling and crosstalk mechanisms. Because the complexity of plant hormonal control goes beyond these core elements, additional specific features are discussed. Lastly, this review highlights how fundamental insights drive hormonal‐based

Dormancy in sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) under Mediterranean climatic conditions [PDF]

Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2007
It is admitted that the lack of winter chilling is a limiting factor for the cultivation of temperate fruit trees in warm climates. Nevertheless, the characteristics of dormancy in sweet cherry under such conditions are still not fully understood ...

Virtual brain endocasts of the palaeanodont Metacheiromys marshi and the neurosensory evolution of early Pholidotamorpha

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We describe the endocranial anatomy of Metacheiromys marshi. Decrease in olfaction and eye movement control occurred through time in Pholidotamorpha and is likely linked to fossorial adaptations. The development of the orbital gyrus might be related to the evolution of myrmecophagy and the emergence of a protrusile tongue in early Pholidotamorpha ...

Investigations on the dormancy of Fraxinus excelsior L. buds II. Bud dormancy on shoots in various parts of the tree crown

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2015
The course of the particular phases of dormancy of terminal buds from various parts of the tree crown of 12-year-old <i>Fraxinus excelsior</i> trees was investigated. The following treatments breaking dormancy were applied: defoliation, a warm water bath and chilling. Significant differences in the depth of bud dormancy between the main and

THE FATHERS, COMPUTERS AND US

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay, designed as a complement to opinions expressed by Rowan Williams and some speakers at the conference in his honour, explores features of early Christianity which suggest a positive evaluation of artificial intelligence. Noting that the fear of reducing humans to machines has been joined in the modern age by the fear that machines ...

Temperate tree species show cross‐tolerance to heat, drought, and late spring‐frost stress

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Significant cross‐tolerance of leaf traits to heat, drought and late spring‐frost were found. (a) Turgor loss point vs lethal spring‐frost temperature. (b) Heat thermal threshold temperature vs lethal spring‐frost temperature. (c) Heat thermal threshold temperature vs turgor loss point.

GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists and Weight Loss: A Critical Review of Mechanisms

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT GLP‐1 receptor agonist medications have the potential to promote marked weight loss, but maximal and sustained benefit may be compromised by poor compliance and cessation of use. Development of next‐generation medications that address current obstacles to effective use and development of effective adjunct treatments will benefit from better ...
