Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.

Biological control in lucerne crops can negatively affect the development of root morphology, forage yield and quality

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2019
Root diseases of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) play a significant role in reducing the persistence and productivity of stands; however, the potential of using biological control in lucerne crops has not yet been investigated.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Lotus corniculatus L.

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Lotus corniculatus L., a member of the Fabaceae family, is considered one of the most agriculturally important forage plants, owing to its anti-bloating properties; its ability to grow in low-fertility, acidic, and high-salinity soils; and high ...

Clarifying nomenclatural uncertainties in Jupunba (Caesalpinioideae, Leguminosae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Molecular phylogenetic studies have prompted substantial revisions in the systematics of the former genus Abarema, resulting in the reinstatement of the genera Punjuba and Jupunba, and a re‐circumscription of Abarema. Despite these advances, some taxa still require nomenclatural adjustments to reflect monophyletic lineages.

On the botanical history and nomenclature of the New World genus Piscidia (Fabaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Piscidia L. (Fabaceae) is a New World genus with nine recognized taxa (seven species and two varieties). The previous nomenclatural revisions, made in 1910 and in 1969, are revisited here. The names Derris grandifolia Heyde & Lux ex Donn.Sm. and P. cubensis Urb. required step II lectotypifications, with an epitype for the latter name.

Adaptations of the Genus Bradyrhizobium to Selected Elements, Heavy Metals and Pesticides Present in the Soil Environment

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
Rhizobial bacteria perform a number of extremely important functions in the soil environment. In addition to fixing molecular nitrogen and transforming it into a form available to plants, they participate in the circulation of elements and the ...

Structural stability of plant–pollinator interactions despite seasonal abundance of long‐tongued hawkmoths

Oikos, EarlyView.
Seasonal environmental cycles affect plant–pollinator interactions by altering plant phenology. Periods of low resource availability can filter pollinators and reduce the complexity of interaction networks, but the extent to which the functional morphology of pollinators influences such filtering remains unclear.

Fire buffers drought impacts on reproduction in a resprouting Mediterranean shrub

Oikos, EarlyView.
Fire and drought increasingly co‐occur, exposing plants to greater drought stress during post‐fire resprouting. Yet, the effect of this combination of disturbances on plant fitness remains poorly understood. Here, we examine how post‐fire resprouting influences reproductive success under drought conditions in the Mediterranean shrub Anthyllis ...

Is a plant truly plastic? Nutrients and neighbours induce trait‐specific responses, but performance depends on response direction

Oikos, EarlyView.
Plants live in a heterogeneous world, where nutrient and neighbour distributions vary in space and time. Plants can respond to this variation through plastic responses in individual organs, which are assumed to be coordinated among traits to support a coherent, adaptive strategy, maintaining plant growth in varying environments.
