Study on application of flowering perennialin plant in scenery-making
Flowering perennial, one group of plants in nature, was investigated at green belts in Hangzhou. The results show that there are some shortages in its application, such as fewer species, narrow area and poorer view, which makes an contrast to its ...

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

Host plant recognition by the root feeding clover weevil, Sitona lepidus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]
This study investigated the ability of neonatal larvae of the root-feeding weevil, Sitona lepidus Gyllenhal, to locate white clover Trifolium repens L. (Fabaceae) roots growing in soil and to distinguish them from the roots of other species of clover and

Integrated production of pigments, fermentation sugars, and pure lignin has been investigated for the creation of profitable biorefinery developments. Choline chloride‐based natural deep eutectic solvents possess unique solvent capabilities to interact with plant cell wall components to disintegrate lignin‐carbohydrate complex.

Optimal allocation strategies of perennial plants
In this paper we propose a novel optimal allocation model for perennial plants. We consider not only favorable for photosynthesis periods, but analyze the whole life of a perennial plant. This provides more information about strategies of a plant during transitions between favorable and unfavorable seasons.

Drought tolerance of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and the role of Epichloë endophyte : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Science at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand [PDF]
Perennial ryegrass is the most important grass species in New Zealand. Due to climate change, drought will become more severe and frequent in New Zealand, which makes it increasingly important to improve drought tolerance of perennial ryegrass. There are

Initial success of native grasses is contingent on multiple interactions among exotic grass competition, temporal priority, rainfall and site effects. [PDF]
Ecological communities are increasingly being recognized as the products of contemporary drivers and historical legacies that are both biotic and abiotic.

Product differentiation in the fruit industry: Lessons from trademarked apples
Abstract We derive price premiums for patented or trademarked apple varieties, also known as “club apples,” compared to open‐variety apples. We use an expansive retail scanner dataset, along with unique data on apple taste characteristics, to estimate monthly club apple premiums for 2008–2018.
