A Draft Genome Resource for a Cacao Thread Blight Disease–Causing Strain of Paramarasmius palmivorus

PhytoFrontiers
Thread blight disease (TBD) is an emerging foliar disease on cacao (Theobroma cacao), the source of chocolate. Multiple species of pathogenic fungi in the Marasmiinae suborder of Agaricales are responsible for causing TBD in cacao.

Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...

Effects of Packing Materials and Ethanol Concentrations on Removal of Astringency of ‘Rojo Brillante’ in Room Temperature

Advances in Horticultural Science, 2018
Most of the persimmons grown in Afghanistan are astringent and hence their fruits require de-astringency treatments in order to become edible at harvest time.

Risk management externalities in agrifood supply chains

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Firms may under‐ or over‐invest in risk management from the social planner's perspective, resulting in a negative externality on other economic agents in the supply chain. The externality of risk management is particularly relevant for agrifood supply chains, which frequently experience disruptions and play a primary role in preventing major ...

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Linking community structure and climate vulnerability in desert plant assemblages of southern California

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

Reproductive stages in lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) occur earlier with increasing temperature

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.

Success of coastal sage scrub restoration is influenced by local adaptations of shrub species

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Restoring plant communities is increasingly challenging with climate change. While practitioners have traditionally used local seed sources, many are recommending assisted migration, possibly from more extreme environments such as inland rather than coastal environments, for restoration.

Discussion: Prioritize  Perennial Grain Development for Sustainable Food Production and Environmental  Benefits            

, 2023
Perennial grains have potential to contribute to ecological intensification of food production by enabling the direct harvest of human-edible crops without requiring annual cycles of disturbance and replanting.
