Optimization of photobiomodulation therapy for spinal cord injury: A review

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy in the red and near‐infrared range can significantly modulate the secondary injury response and promote the reparative and regenerative potential of neural tissue after spinal cord injury (SCI). At present, due to the nature of delivery methods, the most effective dose and irradiance at the injury site to optimize ...

Reaction to release treatments and distinctive attributes of butternut that promote resistance to the canker caused by Ophiognomonia clavigignenti-juglandacearum

The Forestry Chronicle, 2020
This research examines the impact of light and tree attributes of butternuts, including bark phenotype, on their health. Some butternuts were released by thinning the crowns of neighbouring trees in two locations in Québec, while others were not. Various

Monitoring ash dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) in British forests using hyperspectral remote sensing

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Large‐scale dieback of ash trees (Fraxinus spp.) caused by the fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus is posing an immense threat to forest health in Europe, requiring effective monitoring at large scales.

Linking sap flow and tree water deficit in an unmanaged, mixed beech forest during the summer drought 2022

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Sap flow and reversible stem shrinkage upon water depletion are strongly correlated under extreme drought conditions, but they respond differently to drought and cannot be used interchangeably when assessing tree response to drought. Abstract Temperate mixed forests are currently experiencing severe drought conditions and face increased risk of ...

Kiwifruit bacterial canker in 'Hayward' kiwifruit : the application of observational study design and epidemiological techniques to the study of disease outbreaks affecting plant health : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Veterinary Epidemiology, Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2017
Bacterial canker of kiwifruit, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) biovar 3, was first recorded in New Zealand in November 2010 and quickly made production of the goldfleshed kiwifruit cultivar, ‘Hort16A’, which is highly susceptible to

The Influence of Host Condition on Post First Instar Development of the Bronze Birch Borer, \u3ci\u3eAgrilus Anxius\u3c/i\u3e (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) [PDF]

, 2017
The bronze birch borer is a contributing factor in birch dieback. It is believed that host condition has a major influence on the development of the borer. We found that the host tree\u27s apparent condition does not appear to influence post first instar

Legacies from early‐season hot drought: how growth cessation alters tree water dynamics and modifies stress responses in Scots pine

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Early‐season hot drought in Scots pine limits growth and productivity but improves resilience to late‐season drought through reduced water use. Abstract Tree responses to drought are well studied, but the interacting effects of drought timing on growth, water use, and stress legacy are less understood.

Drought influence over radial growth of Mexican conifers inhabiting mesic and xeric sites [PDF]

, 2017
Drought is a major constraint of forest productivity and tree growth across diverse habitat types. In this study, we investigated the drought responses of four conifer species growing within two locations of differing elevation and climatic conditions in

Functional traits explain growth response to successive hotter droughts across a wide set of common and future tree species in Europe

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Functional traits can explain significant tree growth reductions in response to the 2018–2020 drought for a wide set of 71 species including angiosperms and gymnosperms. Moreover, four distinct response types emerged: ‘Sufferer’, ‘Late sufferer’, ‘Recoverer’ and ‘Resister’, with gymnosperms predominately appearing as ‘Sufferer’ and ‘Late sufferer ...

New insights into the supression of plant pathogenic fungus (Phytophthora cinnamomi) by compost leachates [PDF]

, 2003
Use of compost as a soil conditioner and low-grade fertiliser is gaining popularity worldwide (Epstein, 1997). Compost not only adds plant nutrients to the soil, but also improves physical properties of soil such as buffering capacity, cation exchange ...
