Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Permanent Draft Genome Sequence of the French Bean Symbiont Rhizobium sp. Strain RSm-3 Isolated from the Eastern Himalayan Region of India [PDF]
, 2017 The genus Rhizobium contains many species able to form nitrogen-fixing nodules on plants of the legume family. Here, we report the 6.9-Mbp draft genome sequence of Rhizobium sp. strain RSm-3, with a G+C content of 61.4% and 6,511 candidate protein-coding

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.A new species Astragalus zhobensis, from Qamardin Karez, Zhob district, northern Balochistan, Pakistan is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to A. cartilagineus, but can be distinguished by strigose hairs 3–5 mm long, (not stiff 1.5−4.0 mm long hairs); stipules 5–15 mm (not 8−12 mm) long; leaflets in 4–6 pairs, (not 3–

Diversity and assembly of the microbiome of a leguminous plant along an urbanization gradient
Oikos, EarlyView.Interactions between plants and bacterial communities are essential for host physiology and broader ecosystem functioning, but plant–microbiome interactions can be disrupted by environmental change like urbanization. Here, we evaluated how urbanization affected the diversity and assembly of soil and white clover Trifolium repens microbiome communities.

The effect of elevation on species richness in tropical forests depends on the considered lifeform: results from an East African mountain forest [PDF]
, 2019 Elevation gradients in tropical forests have been studied but the analysis of patterns displayed by species richness and elevation have received little attention.

Oikos, EarlyView.Positive plant diversity–productivity relationships have partly been attributed to decreasing abundances of belowground specialist plant antagonists with increasing plant diversity, resulting in less negative plant–soil feedbacks (PSFs) on establishing conspecific plant individuals.

Steppes, savannahs, forests and phytodiversity reservoirs during the Pleistocene in the Iberian Peninsula [PDF]
, 2010 A palaeobotanical analysis of the Pleistocene floras and vegetation in the Iberian Peninsula shows the existence of patched landscapes with Pinus woodlands, deciduous and mixed forests, parklands (savannah-like), shrublands, steppes and grasslands ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Large old trees are important ecological entities in human settlements, providing cultural values and ecological services that are threatened by current and future changes in global climate, land use and disturbance regimes. Some studies suggest incorporating social and cultural significance into the conservation of large old trees.

Apomixis in Genista salzmannii DC. (Fabaceae) [PDF]
, 1991 Genista apomixis is described for the first time in two populations of Genista salzmannii DC.: the first is diploid and the second one tetraploid. There was no female meiosis and the megaspore mother cell functioned as an unreduced megaspore, which led ...
