Deciphering fire tolerance of trees at the Amazonia–Cerrado transition by trait‐based approach: Implications from species to communities

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Understanding how fire impacts trees is essential for predicting the effects of novel fire regimes on plant diversity in the transition between the world's two most diverse biomes, the Cerrado and the Amazonia. Here we addressed knowledge gaps regarding physiological damage and mortality in transitional species within fire‐prone ...

Drought versus heat: What's the major constraint on Mediterranean green roof plants? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Green roofs are gaining momentum in the arid and semi-arid regions due to their multiple benefits as compared with conventional roofs. One of the most critical steps in green roof installation is the selection of drought and heat tolerant species that ...

Genomic resources for crop wild relatives are critical for perennial fruit breeding and conservation

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Many perennial fruit crops are clonally propagated, resulting in uniform fruit quality but increasing vulnerability to pests, diseases, and climate change. In contrast, closely related crop wild relatives (CWRs) continue to evolve in response to these pressures and are a valuable source of adaptive traits.

Exploring plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Plants are exposed to many stress factors, such as drought, high salinity or pathogens, which reduce the yield of the cultivated plants or affect the quality of the harvested products. Arabidopsis thaliana was used as a model plant to study the responses

Crop biotechnology: prospects and opportunities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
SUMMARYThis paper is a brief review summarizing some of the important areas of activity in crop biotechnology likely to be exploited over the medium term (10–20 years), with an emphasis on agronomic traits.

Multi‐Century Grindstone Quarrying at Brumby Yard, Queensland

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The timing and duration of prehistoric quarrying is poorly understood within Australia, with limited ages available for quarries owing to the difficulties in dating these rock‐sediment constructions. We report the first multi‐sample, optically stimulated luminescence ages from quarry pits in Brumby Yard, an Aboriginal grindstone quarry ...

Plant functional groups mediate drought resistance and recovery in a multisite grassland experiment

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, 2018
Climate change predictions suggest that summer droughts will become more intense and recurrent in Europe. While drought‐induced reductions in grassland primary productivity are well documented, the drivers behind drought resistance (the capacity to ...

Rice and Water: The Final Frontier [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Outlines the threat of diminishing water resources for rice crops, the economic and social dimensions of the droughts' potential effects, and the new cultural systems and adapted rice varieties being pursued as potential ...
