Potential of alternative control of leaf‐cutting ants using essential oils: A systematic review
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Abstract Leaf‐cutting ants (LCAs) are abundant and cause considerable damage to agricultural and forest crops in the Neotropical region and are commonly controlled using sulfluramid‐based ant baits. However, this active ingredient is a precursor of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), a persistent, human‐made pollutant that poses serious environmental

Regulation of seed germination in the close Arabidopsis relative Lepidium sativum : a global tissue-specific transcript analysis [PDF]
, 2011 The completion of germination in Lepidium sativum and other endospermic seeds (e.g. Arabidopsis [Arabidopsis thaliana]) is regulated by two opposing forces, the growth potential of the radicle (RAD) and the resistance to this growth from the micropylar ...

Adverse effect of gibberellin on bud development in some stone-fruit plants
California Agriculture, 1960 Gibberellin stimulates flowering of many plants, under appropriate conditions, but certain concentrations of gibberellin sprayed on branches of some stone-fruit trees at full bloom or at the beginning of pit-hardening retarded development of flower buds.

Gibberellin Metabolism and Signaling
, 2005 Gibberellins (GAs) are a family of plant hormones controlling many aspects of plant growth and development including stem elongation, germination, and the transition from vegetative growth to flowering. Cloning of the genes encoding GA biosynthetic and inactivating enzymes has led to numerous insights into the developmental regulation of GA hormone ...

Insights into the genomic divergence of maize heterotic groups in China
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.Seven core heterotic groups were differentiated in maize germplasm from China, and these groups showed regionality and uniqueness at the genomic level. The environmental adaptability of heterotic groups was improved by selection for more stress tolerance‐related genes for adaptation to the complex and changeable climate.

Laboratory Evaluation of Mefluidide Effects on Elongation of Hydrilla and Eurasian Watermilfoil [PDF]
, 1999 The potential of mefluidide (N-(2,4-dimethyl-5[[trifluromethyl) sulfonyl] amino] phenol) acetamide) to act as a submersed aquatic plant growth regulator was evaluated using a laboratory bioassay system.

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plants adapt to their local environment through complex interactions between genes, gene networks and hormones. Although the impact of gene expression on trait regulation and evolution has been recognised for many decades, its role in the evolution of adaptation is still a subject of intense exploration.

Population management of cone and seed insects in spruce seed orchards [PDF]
, 2011 Seed orchards have been established in order to produce high quality seeds for reforestation and forestation. However, seed production in spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) seed orchards is severely hampered by cone- and seed-feeding insects.
