Combined genetic, genomic and physiological approaches to characterize flowering in Fragaria [W324] [PDF]

, 2015
Flowering is a key event for production of seeds or fruits. To date, studies of this process were mainly focused on the molecular mechanisms involved in the control of flowering until now.

Optimal allocation patterns and optimal seed mass of a perennial plant

, 2013
We present a novel optimal allocation model for perennial plants, in which assimilates are not allocated directly to vegetative or reproductive parts but instead go first to a storage compartment from where they are then optimally redistributed.

Catch crop strategy and nitrate leaching following grazed grass-clover [PDF]

, 2007
Cultivation of grassland presents a high risk of nitrate leaching. This study aimed to determine if leaching could be reduced by growing spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) as a green crop for silage with undersown Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.)

Plant Robotics for Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Robots: Insights from Actuation Characteristics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plants are promising materials for building sustainable and eco‐friendly robots due to their inherent multifunctionality, with actuation playing a crucial role. This article focuses on the physical movements of plants and, from the perspective of actuation characteristics, explores representative plant species and their behaviors, the current state of ...

Desertification Reversal Promotes the Complexity of Plant Community by Increasing Plant Species Diversity of Each Plant Functional Type

Agronomy, 2023
Desertification reversal is globally significant for the sustainable development of land resources. However, the mechanisms of desertification reversal at the level of plant community are still unclear.

Analysis of phenotypic plasticity in response to water constraints in coffee plants growing under field conditions [PDF]

, 2008
In a context of climate change, adaptation of perennial plantations to water constraints becomes a major concern for wood and fruit productivity. Adaptation depends on the level of genetic diversity in breeding and natural populations, as well as their ...

Structural Variation and 3D Genome‐Driven DNA/RNA Methylation Divergence Contributing to Cotton Fiber Domestication

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
These findings elucidated the crucial role of the “SVs‐3D genome remodeling‐epigenetic modifications‐gene expression” cascade regulatory network in cotton fiber domestication, offering both a theoretical foundation and genetic resources for molecular design breeding in fiber crops.

The loss of plant species diversity dominated by temperature promotes local productivity in the steppe of eastern Inner Mongolia

Ecological Indicators, 2022
In the semiarid grassland ecosystems of eastern Inner Mongolia, the interrelations among the species diversity of different plant communities, productivity, soil nutrients and climate were thoroughly studied through integrated approaches combined with ...

Designing Cost‐Effective Carbon Payments to Induce Cellulosic Feedstock Production for Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Perennial bioenergy crops, such as miscanthus and switchgrass, and crop residues have the potential to scale up sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production and mitigate carbon emissions. However, high establishment costs, delayed returns, and risk–return profiles that diverge from those of conventional crops can hinder incentives to adopt ...

Studies on the behavior of some cultivars of Dahlia in the Botanical Garden Cluj-Napoca

Romanian Journal of Horticulture
Dahlias are particularly appreciated due to the elegance of the inflorescences and the long duration of flowering, which gives them multiple uses both in floral art and in landscaping.
