Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

Phylogeography of Trigonaspis synaspis (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) from Anatolia based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences

European Journal of Entomology, 2015
Sequence data for the nuclear ITS2 region and part of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene were used to reveal intraspecific phylogeography and population genetic structure of the oak gall wasp Trigonaspis synaspis from Anatolia. One hundred and sixty six

Two Distinct Genotypes of Spissistilus festinus (Say, 1830) (Hemiptera, Membracidae) in the United States Revealed by Phylogenetic and Morphological Analyses

Insects, 2020
Spissistilus festinus (Say, 1830) (Hemiptera: Membracidae) is a frequent pest of leguminous crops in the Southern United States, and a vector of grapevine red blotch virus. There is currently no information on the genetic diversity of S. festinus.

Ecological Restoration of Degraded Mining Soils Through Key‐Layer Construction Using Industrial By‐Products: A Comprehensive Analysis of Soil Physics, Microbiology, and Maize Yield

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal mining severely degrades soil profiles and ecosystem functions, highlighting the need for effective reclamation. Reconstructing soil profiles with industrial solid wastes offers a promising waste‐to‐resource approach, but the ecological effects of different engineered key‐layer materials remain unclear.

Comparative study of mtDNA in species of the genus Adalia (Coleoptera: Cocinellidae) and origin of ancient mitochondrial haplotypes in the gene pool of Adalia bipunctata

European Journal of Entomology, 2013
Fifteen different mitochondrial haplotypes of the mtDNA gene COI encoding cytochrome C oxidase subunit I were identified in the 127 individuals of Adalia bipunctata studied. Two mitochondrial haplotypes, H9 and H10, differed greatly from the others.

Ecosystem retrogression enhances cross‐domain microbial stability and increases the genetic potential for nutrient cycling

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecosystem retrogression drives nutrient depletion, reduced productivity, and profound reorganization of soil microbial communities. Using amplicon sequencing and genome‐resolved metagenomics, we examined how cross‐domain microbial networks and functional gene potential respond to long‐term phosphorus and nitrogen limitation along the well ...

Testing the usage of ITS2 and 28S-D2 markers in identifying some species of Ammophila, Prionyx, and Sphex genera (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae)

Journal of New Results in Science, 2015
In addition to traditional methods, investigation of rDNA gene regions with molecular techniques is widely used to identify insect taxa. In this study, the usability of the primers (TrITS2, 28S-D2) belonging to second expansion segment (D2) of the 28S ...

Seagrass species diversity in Tanzania based on morphological and molecular data

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Seagrass diversity along the Tanzanian coast has been documented mainly through morphology, with limited molecular reference data available for Tanzania and the wider Western Indian Ocean. This study combined morphological identification with nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and plastid ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase

Sycophila pistacina (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae): A valid species

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
Sycophila pistacina (Rondani), which was previously synonymized with Sycophila biguttata (Swederus), is revalidated. Morphological, morphometric and molecular data confirm its status as a separate species.
