Abstract BACKGROUND Soybean underpins Brazil's agricultural, yet its sustainability is threatened by lepidopteran pests such as Anticarsia gemmatalis. Although insect‐resistant cultivars have long been associated with the constitutive accumulation of quercetin‐derived flavonols, the biochemical mechanisms underlying this resistance remain poorly ...

A 3D Model of Ryegrass Shoot Architecture, Sward Light Interception and Photosynthesis
Increasing the photosynthetic capacity of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is required to improve the productivity of pastoral farming in temperate regions. A three‐dimensional (3D) model was constructed of the shoot growth of ryegrass based on plant morphological traits such as tiller angle, leaf angle, leaf width, number of tillers per plant ...

Niche partitioning is important for the coexistence of closely related species, allowing species to reduce overlap in resource use despite shared ecological requirements. In alpine environments, harsh climatic conditions and low habitat complexity constrain opportunities for ecological segregation, making seasonal resource fluctuation especially ...

ABSTRACT Mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) is a major cash‐generating pulse crop in Ethiopia's lowlands, serving as a key source of plant‐based protein and contributing to soil fertility. However, its production is severely constrained by Cercospora Leaf Spot (CLS), a destructive fungal disease.

In central Ukraine, the migratory butterfly Vanessa cardui emerged as a key pest of organic soybean during its outbreaks in 2019 and 2022. Despite early defoliation, crops recovered strongly due to high parasitism by Cotesia vestalis, reaching 100% in some fields.

Temporal Dynamics of Sporulation of Lecanosticta acicola in Detached Pinus taeda Needles
ABSTRACT The timber industry in the southeastern United States relies heavily on Pinus taeda. Over the past decade, impacts from Lecanosticta acicola causing Brown Spot Needle Blight have been increasing on P. taeda. Disease spread is well documented for living needles, with conidia spreading locally and ascospores spreading long distances.
