Preharvest supplemental lighting enhances productivity and modulates postharvest quality in hydroponically grown Apulian unripe melon ‘Scopatizzo’ (Cucumis melo L.)

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Preharvest light management is increasingly used to enhance yield and fruit quality in soilless systems, yet its effects on unripe melon fruits remain poorly understood. This study evaluated the impact of supplemental red–blue light‐emitting diode (LED) lighting applied during cultivation in a closed‐cycle hydroponic system on ...

Sexual reproduction in invasive Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) in south Sweden

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
To understand the potential for northward expansion of knotweeds into currently uninvaded regions, it is crucial to assess the potential for sexual reproduction alongside the ongoing vegetative spread. For that reason, we tested viability in Reynoutria japonica seeds in south Sweden, a region where viable seeds had not been previously reported ...

Musa interspecific hybridization and polyploidy for breeding banana and plantain (Musaceae)

, 2016
Banana and plantain (Musa spp.) are perennial, giant herbs grown mostly in small plots and orchards. The main centers of Musa diversity are in the tropics: from South Asia to Polynesia. All edible cultivars derived from the diploid species M.

Isoetes ×atruensis (Isoetaceae – Lycopodiopsida), a new interspecific sterile hybrid from Rajasthan of Western India

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Isoetes ×atruensis hyb. nov. is shown to be a triploid (2n = 3× = 33 + 1) sterile interspecific hybrid between diploid (2n = 2× = 22 + 1) I. coromandelina and tetraploid (2n = 4× = 44 + 1) I. rajasthanensis. It has been found in two locations in Rajasthan, India.

A wood-warbler produced through both interspecific and intergeneric hybridization

Biology Letters, 2018
Hybridization between divergent taxa can provide insight into the breakdown of characters used in mate choice, as well as reproductive compatibility across deep evolutionary timescales.
