Physicochemical characterization of watermelon accessions from traditional agriculture with resistance to Fusarium wilt

Revista Ceres
Watermelon has great importance due to its nutritional properties. The aim of this work was to study accessions classified as resistant to fusariosis. Twelve accessions and two cultivars, Sugar Baby and Charleston Gray (controls), were characterized for ...

In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current plant conservation efforts are hindered by, for example, poor seed germination, low viability, and insufficient propagation and preservation technologies. To address these problems, we devised an approach to plant conservation that integrates conservation, preservation, and restoration (CPR), which uses advanced in vitro techniques. We

What controls forest litter decomposition? A coordinated distributed teabag experiment across ten mountains

Ecography, EarlyView.
Litter decomposition in mountainous forest ecosystems is an essential process that affects carbon and nutrient cycling. However, the contribution of litter decomposition to terrestrial ecosystems is difficult to estimate accurately because of the limited comparability of different studies and limited data on local microclimatic and non‐climatic factors.

RNA‐Seq analysis revealed differentially expressed genes linked to seed size variation in sainfoin

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Sainfoin is a perennial forage legume with many desirable characteristics such as easy to establish, bloat‐free trait for grazing ruminants and providing pollinator habitat and biological nitrogen fixation to soil. However, adoption of this species is often hindered by high seed cost associated with its larger seed size compared to other ...

The targeted metabolomic profile of laticifers in rubber tree

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Targeted metabolomic profiling of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) laticifers identified metabolites that were reprogramming by domestication, revealed active isoprenoid metabolism in the laticifers, and discovered loci with potential biosynthetic applications, supporting the potential of developing laticifers as bioreactors for production of valuable ...
