Size of chloroplasts in Arabidopsis mesophyll cells affects jasmonate biosynthesis

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The relationship between chloroplast structure and hormone biosynthesis capacity is poorly understood. This study shows that mutants harbouring giant chloroplasts produce more jasmonic acid upon mechanical stress than wild‐type plants, suggesting that organellar architecture is a previously unrecognized factor associated with plant hormone biosynthesis

Microbial volatile compounds enhance drought resilience and productivity in CAM and C3 crops

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Microbial volatiles EV and CAMP, derived from Bacillus spp. and Beauveria pseudobassiana associated with agaves and cacti, respectively, enhance drought resilience and productivity in Agave tequilana and tomato. Abstract Plants interact with their associated microbiota through diverse chemical cues, including microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs)

Diet composition of the Red‐billed curassow (Crax blumenbachii) and its role as seed disperser in the Atlantic Forest: conservation insights

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Forest fragmentation and defaunation are major drivers of biodiversity loss in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, where 70–90% of tree species depend on animal‐mediated seed dispersal. Reintroduction of large frugivores, such as cracids, is being used to restore species populations and lost ecological functions.

Investigation of the Wettability Using Contact Angle Measurements of Green Polyethylene Flat Films and Expanded Vermiculite Clay Treated by Plasma

, 2019
Polyethylene (PE) is a polymer that has a low adhesion property, which is related to its low surface energy. However, the plasma treatment aims the modification of the surface properties without affecting the polymer structure.

Optimization of vermiculite-based organomineral fertilizer (GumiVer) rates for maize productivity enhancement in semi-arid soils: a modeling approach [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Modern agriculture must raise yields while safeguarding soil fertility. We evaluated the effect of a vermiculite-based organomineral amendment (GumiVer) on maize (Zea mays L.) growth and biomass under semi-arid soil conditions.

Native seed mix functional composition determines native plant recruitment and competition against invasive annual grass Bromus tectorum

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The invasion of the winter annual grass Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) reduces native plant biodiversity and increases wildfire risk in western North America. Seed‐based restoration often fails to increase native plant recruitment in degraded, Cheatgrass‐invaded areas.
