Cultivar diversity as a means of ecologically intensifying dry matter production in a perennial forage stand [PDF]
The relationship between genotypic diversity and productivity has not been adequately explored in perennial forage production systems despite strong theoretical and empirical evidence supporting diversity\u27s role in ecosystem functioning in other ...

Grasses and the resource availability hypothesis: the importance of silica-based defences [PDF]
The resource availability hypothesis (RAH) predicts that allocation of resources to anti-herbivore defences differs between species according to their growth rate.

First detection of VHE gamma-ray emission from TXS~1515--273, study of its X-ray variability and spectral energy distribution [PDF]
We report here on the first multi-wavelength (MWL) campaign on the blazar TXS 1515-273, undertaken in 2019 and extending from radio to very-high-energy gamma rays (VHE). Up until now, this blazar had not been the subject of any detailed MWL observations.

Inheritance of glyphosate resistance in Lolium perenne and hybrids with Lolium multiflorum
Abstract Glyphosate-resistant Lolium species have been selected in weed communities where glyphosate is the herbicide used almost exclusively for weed control. The rate of evolution of herbicide resistance is highly influenced by the mating system and the inheritance type. Given the relevance of Lolium spp.

Potential for gene-flow from cultivated Irish grasses and cereals [PDF]
End of project reportThe importance of gene movement from cultivated plants has been highlighted in regard to minimising the movement of seed and/or pollen between GM and non-GM crops (i.e. gene flow). Although ryegrass covers in excess of 90% of Ireland’

Plant root proliferation in nitrogen-rich patches confers competitive advantage [PDF]
Plants respond to environmental heterogeneity, particularly below ground, where spectacular root proliferations in nutrient-rich patches may occur. Such 'foraging' responses apparently maximize nutrient uptake and are now prominent in plant ecological ...
