Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants assemble beneficial rhizosphere microbiomes through a ‘cry for help’ mechanism upon pathogen or insect herbivore attack. The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can influence the composition of microbial communities in the plant rhizosphere. However, their impacts

Is the endophyte‐based plant protection against aphids mediated by changes in the insect microbiome?
Insect Science, EarlyView.We showed that the fungal endophyte Epichloë strain AR37 increased the plant resistance against aphids via the production of indole diterpene alkaloids. The reduction in aphid performance was not associated with changes in abundance/composition/diversity of the insect's bacterial microbiota, but additional endophyte effects on this microbiota cannot be

Chromosome duplication in Lolium multiflorum Lam. [PDF]
Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2014 Artificial chromosome duplication of diploid genotypes of Lolium multiflorum (2n=2x=14) is worthy to breeding, and aims to increase the expression of traits with agronomic interest. The purpose of this study was to obtain polyploid plants of L. multiflorum from local diploid populations in order to exploit adaptation and future verification of the ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract New technological developments open novel possibilities for widely applicable methods of ecosystem analyses. We investigated a novel approach using smartphone‐based 3D scanning for non‐destructive, high‐resolution monitoring of above‐ground plant biomass.

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.This study evaluated the population dynamics of stubby root nematodes (SRN) in field rotations with cover crops and the subsequent effect of this rotation on sugar beet quality and quantity attributes. It was clear that the SRN densities under field conditions are influenced by multiple factors, such as the type of cover crops grown, soil disturbance ...

Effect of tillage method on early root growth of Miscanthus
Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.In‐situ, sub‐soil cameras were used to capture root growth and turnover during the establishment period for field‐grown Miscanthus planted with minimum tillage and no‐tillage methods. No tillage promoted higher root length density and thinner roots in the subsoil, providing potential for improved resource acquisition and soil carbon sequestration.

Cytogenetic insights into Festulolium
Biologia Plantarum, 2020 Climate change calls for new methods and plant materials to breed crops adapted to new environmental conditions. Sustainable forage and amenity grass production during periods of severe drought and heat waves during summer, and unequal distribution of ...
