Filimonas endophytica sp. nov., isolated from surface-sterilized root of Cosmos bipinnatus
A Gram-stain-negative, yellow, motile by gliding, filamentous bacterium, designated SR 2-06T, was isolated from surface-sterilized root of garden cosmos. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that SR 2-06T was related most closely to Filimonas lacunae YT21T of the family Chitinophagaceae at a sequence similarity of 96.90 %, while levels of ...

Pollinator-attracting Companion Plantings Increase Crop Yield of Cucumbers and Habanero Peppers
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and habanero pepper (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) growers have observed increased crop yield by placing bees in close proximity to these vegetable crops. However, adding managed bees typically may not be feasible for small-scale

Production and scavenging of reactive oxygen species in plant cells under cadmium stress
Abstract Cadmium (Cd) causes the excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plant cells, inhibits plant growth, and reduces crop productivity (e.g., grain yields). However, our understanding of Cd migration, ROS accumulation, and the underlying mechanisms in plant cells remains limited.

Pollen-pistil interactions and self-incompatibility in the Asteraceae: new insights from studies of Senecio squalidus (Oxford ragwort) [PDF]
Background Pollen-pistil interactions are an essential prelude to fertilization in angiosperms and determine compatibility/incompatibility. Pollen-pistil interactions have been studied at a molecular and cellular level in relatively few families.

Genetic Control of Self-Incompatibility in Centromadia (Hemizonia) Pungens Subsp. Laevis (Madiinae, Asteraceae) [PDF]
The presence of self-incompatibility was tested in Centromadia pun gens subsp. laevis and the genetic basis of the self-incompatibility response was explored using crossing studies. We performed full diallel crossing experiments among 10 individuals from

“Metabolight”: how light spectra shape plant growth, development and metabolism
Abstract Innovations in light technologies (i.e. Light Emitting Diodes; LED) and cover films with specific optical features (e.g. photo‐selective, light‐extracting) have revolutionized crop production in both protected environments and open fields.

Regreening Practices and Effectiveness Evaluation for Rocky Slope Drawdown Zones in Pumped Storage Power Station Reservoirs [PDF]
[Objective] Reservoir construction has severely degraded the ecological environment of reservoir banks. The high-frequency, large-amplitude water level fluctuations make ecological restoration in the drawdown zone particularly challenging.
