ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.

We experimentally manipulated top‐down (predator exclusion) and bottom‐up (fertilisation) forces in a temperate forest understory to test effects on arthropod densities, body sizes and herbivory. Predator exclusion had no detectable effect on arthropod density, herbivory damage or body size, whereas fertilisation increased herbivory damage and ...

Adaptive Significance of Nickel Hyperaccumulation by Plants
Metal hyperaccumulation may enhance plant fitness through multiple, non‐exclusive mechanisms, including elemental defense against herbivores and pathogens, altered pollinator interactions, and increased reproductive performance in metal‐rich soils. Metals may also affect plant–plant interactions via elemental allelopathy and improve stress tolerance ...

Effects of punctuated heat stress on the grapevine powdery mildew pathogen, Erysiphe necator
Grapevine powdery mildew, caused by the ascomycete Erysiphe necator, is a major threat to grapes worldwide. Despite its global impact on grape production, E. necator is sensitive to adverse environmental conditions, such as excess heat, free water and UV

Chemical and mechanical defences of a metal‐hyperaccumulating plant species Arabidopsis halleri were more influenced by plant accession (genetic background) and insect herbivory by a leaf beetle Phaedon cochleariae than by supplementation of the metalloid silicon.
