Effects of Microplastic Pollution on Growth, Photosynthesis, and Nutritional Composition of Maize (Zea mays L.)

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Microplastic (MP) contamination in agroecosystems is an increasingly recognized environmental concern, whereas its polymer‐specific impacts on plant growth and nutritional composition remain poorly understood. Aim Our study aimed to evaluate how polymer type and concentration of MPs directly affect plant growth, physiological traits,

Effect of different light‐emitting diodes on vegetative cannabis growth and antioxidant activity

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cannabis stands as one of the world's oldest plant sources for food and textile fiber. The study aimed to assess the impact of white LED (blue; 446 nm + amber; 595 nm + red; 653 nm), wide PC amber (595 nm), narrow amber (595 nm) + royal blue (430 nm) (NA + RB), and narrow amber (595 nm) + royal blue (430 nm) + cyan blue (485 nm) (NA

Fine mapping of cucumber downy mildew resistance loci identifies candidate genes linked to ethylene‐associated stomatal defence

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Downy mildew, caused by Pseudoperonospora cubensis, is one of the most destructive diseases affecting cucumber and remains difficult to manage sustainably through fungicide‐dependent control strategies. Although several resistance loci have been reported, many previously mapped regions remain too broad for efficient marker‐assisted ...

Variation in herbivory-induced volatiles among cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) varieties has consequences for the attraction of carnivorous natural enemies [PDF]

, 2011
In response to herbivory by arthropods, plants emit herbivory-induced volatiles that attract carnivorous enemies of the inducing herbivores. Here, we compared the attractiveness of eight cucumber varieties (Cucumis sativus L.) to Phytoseiulus persimilis ...

The epigenetic landscape of plant defense: Unlocking nature's toolkit for new plant protection

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
This review examines how epigenetic mechanisms regulate plant immune gene activation, repression, and priming, then links these natural regulatory layers to emerging epigenetic editing, discussing their potential for precise, heritable crop protection and the challenges.

Social‐ecological signatures in plant species composition across Swiss cities and urban green space types

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities can harbor greater plant diversity than other ecosystems, yet how city sociocultural factors may determine differences in plant composition across equivalent urban green space types remains understudied. Here, we compare plant communities in five main urban greenspace types across three Swiss cities representing the country's French (Geneva ...
