Some special features of the water regime and the photosynthetic apparatus activity in Feijoa sellowiana (O. Berg) O. Berg plants under the water stress [PDF]
When assessing the drought tolerance of Feijoa sellowiana cultivars and forms, the total water content in leaf tissues and their waterretaining and regenerative capacity were determined, and the parameters of chlorophyll fluorescence induction were ...

Pest categorisation of Pestalotiopsis disseminata
Abstract Following the commodity risk assessments of bonsai plants from China consisting of Pinus parviflora grafted on P. thunbergii performed by EFSA, the EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Pestalotiopsis disseminata, a clearly defined plant pathogenic fungus of the family Pestalotiopsidaceae. The pathogen has been reported on

Pest categorisation of Diaprepes abbreviatus
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the citrus root weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) for the European Union (EU) following the commodity risk assessment of Ligustrum delavayanum topiary grafted on L. japonicum plants from the UK in which D.

The protective effects of Elaeagnus angustifolia fruit extract (EAFE) on hematology, biochemical parameters, liver enzymes and damage of different tissues of male mice exposed to graphene oxide nanoparticles. It shows that EAFE can improve the damage caused by GO NPs in the liver, kidney and lung tissues, while it has no effect on the damage in the ...

A global review demonstrating the importance of nocturnal pollinators for crop plants
Our findings suggest that nocturnal pollinators visit a large range of crop plants, and may be more important to ecosystem function and food production than currently thought. Current policies in cropping systems implemented to protect bees, such as regulations on pesticide use, are unlikely to also protect nocturnal pollinators. As we develop a better

Participatory biosecurity practices: Myrtle rust an unwanted pathogen in Aotearoa New Zealand
Abstract Managing unwanted pests and diseases is a growing concern. Recent shifts in state‐led biosecurity policy have seen a movement towards ‘shared responsibility’ between government, industry and communities. We use social practice theory to show how materials, skills and meanings come together to shape how people understand the spread of myrtle ...

Fruit respiration: putting alternative pathways into perspective. [PDF]
Summary Over the past century, research has significantly advanced our understanding of fruit respiration, from (eco)physiological processes to molecular mechanisms. This review focuses on the functional relevance and regulatory roles of mitochondrial alternative respiratory pathways (ARPs) during fruit growth and ripening.
