Dating WF16: Exploring the Chronology of a Pre-Pottery Neolithic A Settlement in the Southern Levant [PDF]
A pre-requisite for understanding the transition to the Neolithic in the Levant is the establishment of a robust chronology, most notably for the late Epi-Palaeolithic and Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) periods. In this contribution we undertake a dating

Early evolutionary history of the seed
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Athrotaxis cupressoides
Athrotaxis cupressoides (Cupressaceae) is a Tasmanian endemic conifer. It is mainly threatened by habitat fragmentation and limited distribution, yet little is known about its genomic background. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of the

Methods of inoculating cypress with Seridium species to screen for resistance and pathogen variability : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Plant Health at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The cypress species are grown for their timber value, ornamental beauty and shelter. Their existence is threatened by the presence of cypress canker disease caused by fungal pathogens of the genus Seiridium.

Summary Roots are responsible for soil water uptake, yet little is known about how variation in fine‐root traits relates to whole‐tree water movement, particularly during periods of drought. By combining a 3‐yr dataset monitoring sap flow rates with measures of fine‐root biomass, length, and morphology across 10 tree species, we addressed hypotheses ...

Composition analysis of exudates produced by conifers grown in Taiwan and their antifungal activity
Exudates are involved in the defense mechanism of trees; they could work against insects or microorganisms through a physical or chemical system. The main components of exudates are terpenoids. This study identified the main compounds of exudates from 13
