Herbivores induce plant chemical defenses based on the identity of their attacking parasitoid
Many parasitoids increase plant fitness by decreasing herbivore feeding damage. Solitary parasitoids (where only one individual completes development per host) generally cause their hosts to feed less than unparasitized herbivores, reducing pressure on plants to induce chemical defense production.

Friends or foes? Polyploidy and competition in a grassland geophyte
Previous studies have suggested polyploids may possess a competitive advantage over diploids, due to their larger size, increased vigour or ability to better respond to abiotic stress. However, few studies have tested the effect of polyploidy on competitive ability directly, and only relatively recently has this oversight begun to be addressed. Here we

The phytochemical profile and biological activities of Cistus creticus leaf ethanolic extracts show strong seasonal variation. Spring extracts contain the highest phenolic levels with potent antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory effects, while summer extracts are richest in flavonoids and exhibit the greatest sun protection factor value and enzyme ...

Wheat breeding approaches for designing wheat to thrive in a warmer world
Wheat is a vital food crop, accounting for approximately 20% of daily calories and protein consumed worldwide. However, modern‐day wheat is under pressure from global change. The improvement rate of wheat yields is not keeping up with the demand of our growing population. Furthermore, abiotic and biotic stressors are becoming more prevalent. This paper
