Methyl Jasmonate Seed Priming Mitigates the Defence‐Growth Trade‐Off and Tailors Plant Response to Specific Pests

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Mitigate Drought‐Enhanced Herbivore Performance in Maize

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought events are becoming increasingly frequent and intense, posing major challenges to crop productivity. Beyond direct water stress, drought can indirectly affect plants by enhancing herbivore performance. While arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been proposed to alleviate drought stress and to enhance plant resistance to herbivory ...

Three Closely Related Spodoptera Species Similarly Affect Gene Expression and Phytohormone Levels but Differentially Induce Volatile Emissions in Maize

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants can perceive specific elicitors in the oral secretions (OS) of herbivorous insects and respond by increasing their defences. Whether plants can discriminate among similar herbivorous insect species and differentially modulate their defence responses against them is largely unknown.

The problem of free will is child's play

Philosophical Investigations, EarlyView.
Abstract I argue that the essence of ‘free will’ is control, the ability to do otherwise and that this ability is an acquired skill: We can and do see people acquire it, as for example small children learn to play and to do all the other things that human agents characteristically do.

Seed pretreatment length when producing seeds for restoration may impact seed dormancy in offspring

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Seed dormancy regulates germination timing to improve seedling survival. Many temperate species produce physiologically dormant seeds, requiring winter conditions (i.e. moist‐cold stratification) to overcome dormancy. Exposing seeds to suboptimal stratification lengths for restoration may alter genetic diversity and/or ...
