Defense responses and symbiotic functional initiation in trifoliate orange‒arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi interaction

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) trigger beneficial effects on their hosts, but it is unknown how plants modulate their defense responses during root colonization of AMF and the symbiotic benefits are initiated. The purpose of this study was to analyze

BarnebyLives: An R package to create herbarium specimen labels and clean spreadsheets

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Accessioning herbarium specimens is labor intensive, yet remains vital for research in ecology, evolution, and conservation. As institutional support for herbaria declines, efficient tools are needed to streamline this process. The R package BarnebyLives was developed to assist collectors by supplementing collection notes, verifying ...

Rapid assessment of fern spore quality using microscale electrical conductivity testing

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Ex situ spore banks are essential for fern conservation and research, yet traditional germination tests for assessing spore quality are time consuming and labor intensive. We explored whether electrical conductivity (EC), a rapid proxy for seed vigor, could offer an efficient alternative for evaluating fern spore quality. Methods Using

Mapping Lupinus polyphyllus density and distribution along road verges using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)–based remote sensing

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Road verges function as refuges for semi‐natural species, but they can also facilitate the spread of non‐native plants such as Lupinus polyphyllus. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)–based remote sensing is a promising tool for mapping these species; however, its application in roadside contexts remains limited.

Political gardening, equity and justice: a research agenda

, 2019
While most of the existing literature on community gardens and urban agriculture share a tendency towards either an advocacy view or a rather dismissive approach on the grounds of the co-optation of food growing, self-help and voluntarism to the ...

A Genome-Wide Characterization of the 14-3-3 Protein Family in Ginger Reveals That Zo14-3-3-03 Enhances Salt Tolerance via the ZoSOS2-Mediated Signaling Pathway

Horticulturae
Soil salinity limits ginger productivity, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unclear. The 14-3-3 proteins are conserved regulators in stress signaling.

The pelvis doesn't walk by itself: Wider pelves reduce the cost of walking over unstable surfaces

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Walking over variable and/or unstable terrain is a key aspect of daily life and was crucial to the evolution of bipedalism. The ability to find gait solutions that maintained stability over uneven terrain for the least increase in metabolic cost was likely a hallmark of locomotor effectiveness in early humans, in particular acting as an ...
