Abstract Premise Insect herbivory is a major biotic factor shaping plant populations and driving the evolution of defensive traits. Polyploidy (whole‐genome duplication) often induces substantial phenotypic and genotypic changes that may affect species interactions, including herbivory.

The effect of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) sowing rates on weed establishment, after one year : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Plant Science at Massey University [PDF]
Two trials were conducted to determine whether the weed control benefits of high sowing rates of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) continued into the second year after sowing. Seeds of Scotch thistle (Cirsium vulgare), nodding thistle (Carduus nutans),

Shaped by context: Evolutionary trajectories of desiccation tolerance in land plants
Abstract Desiccation tolerance (DT), the ability to survive near‐complete cellular dehydration, is widespread in diaspores but rare in the vegetative tissues of land plants. The patchy and punctuated phylogenetic distribution of vegetative desiccation tolerance (VDT) suggests that the trait is both ancient and recurrent, yet the evolutionary ...

Seed germination and in vitro regeneration of the African medicinal and pesticidal plant, Bobgunnia madagascariensis [PDF]
Propagation of the medicinal and pesticidal tree, Bobgunnia madagascarensis is difficult due to poor and erratic germination of its seeds and slow growth of its seedlings. This study involved two separate experiments.

Effect of Temperature on the Percentage of Germination of Mung Beans
This study explores how temperature affects the germination percentage of mung beans (Vigna radiata), a crucial crop valued for its nutritional benefits and adaptability to various climates. As global temperatures rise, understanding the influence of temperature on seed germination becomes increasingly important for agricultural productivity.

The rapid and accurate identification of pathogenic spores is essential for the early diagnosis of diseases in modern agriculture. Gray mold disease, caused by Botrytis cinerea, is a significant threat to several crops and is traditionally controlled using fungicides or, alternatively, by UV-C radiation.

Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the

SkelPy: A graphic user interface–based approach for skeletonizing fungal networks
Abstract Premise Traditional methods to quantify mycelial growth rely on destructive sampling to quantify biomass. Moreover, these approaches limit continuous observation and require a sufficient mass to measure. Recent work examines hyphal network traits by reconstructing the hyphal network from spatial coordinates via images, providing information ...
