Transcriptomic insights into the regulatory networks of chilling-induced early flower in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.)

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2022
Appropriate timing of flowering is pivotal for tobacco, while chilling stress occurring at the seedling stage often undesirably leads to early flowering. However, the potential mechanism underlying chilling-induced early flowering remains unknown.

Mass flowering crops in a patchy agricultural landscape can reduce bee abundance in adjacent shrublands [PDF]

, 2016
Pollinator spill-over among habitats can arise in order to fulfill the pollination function and whenever differences in floral offering change over time or space.

Identification and characterization of a gene conferring stress resistance in Escherichia coli and cyanobacteria

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Functional screening identified PcSyn14890, a cyanobacteria‐specific protein that enhances growth and stress resistance in E. coli and Synechocystis PCC6803. Although we expected it to function as a molecular chaperone, it was unable to protect against thermal aggregation of GAPDH.

Repellency of insecticides and the effect of thiacloprid on bumble bee colony development in red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) seed crops

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2019
The study intended to compare repellency of three insecticides on bumble bees and honey bees in Norwegian red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) seed crops, and to examine effects of thiacloprid on bumble bee colony development in the field.

Biology, Genetic Diversity, and Conservation of Wild Bees in Tree Fruit Orchards

Biology, 2022
Different species of bees provide essential ecosystem services by pollinating various agricultural crops, including tree fruits. Many fruits and nuts depend on insect pollination, primarily by wild and managed bees.

Using archaeogenomic and computational approaches to unravel the history of local adaptation in crops [PDF]

, 2014
Our understanding of the evolution of domestication has changed radically in the past 10 years, from a relatively simplistic rapid origin scenario to a protracted complex process in which plants adapted to the human environment.

Self‐Regulated Learning Meets AI: Reinterpreting Self‐Regulation, Co‐Regulation, and Socially Shared Regulation in Human–AI Interaction

New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advancing artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed learning and work, yet higher education and professional development programs have not systematically equipped learners for AI‐prevalent environments. This lack of preparation creates uncertainty regarding control, responsibility, trust, and accountability.

Advancing utilization of diverse global carrot (Daucus carota L.) germplasm with flowering habit trait ontology

Frontiers in Plant Science
Biennial vegetable crops are challenging to breed due to long breeding cycle times. At the same time, it is important to preserve a strong biennial growth habit, avoiding premature flowering that renders the crop unmarketable.

Early mass-flowering crops mitigate pollinator dilution in late-flowering crops

, 2014
Previous studies focused mainly on the provision of ecosystem services by species movements between semi-natural and managed habitats, whereas data on spillover effects between two managed habitats or between habitats that provide target resources in non-

Noncrop flowering plants restore top-down herbivore control in agricultural fields [PDF]

, 2013
Herbivore populations are regulated by bottom-up control through food availability and quality and by top-down control through natural enemies. Intensive agricultural monocultures provide abundant food to specialized herbivores and at the same time ...
