Social and cultural considerations for the restoration of ‘lost’ tree species: The fall and rise of elm

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Attempts to address biodiversity loss have led to ecosystem and species restoration efforts. Tree species restoration is particularly relevant because of increasing threats from pests and pathogens. However, there are different notions of ‘loss’, as well as sociocultural considerations, including social acceptability, which are often neglected

Drying out of woody plants at Peter the Great Botanical Garden BIN RAS (Saint Petersburg) and distribution of Phytophthora and Pythiumspecies: monitoring of 2018

Hortus Botanicus, 2019
During the study period of 2011-2018, six species of phytophthoras and one species of pythium were identified at the dendrarium park of the Peter the Great Botanical Garden of the Komarov Botanical Institute RAS. During two vegetative seasons of 2017 and

Incorporating soil biological and functional attributes to advance ecological restoration

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Earth is currently experiencing a mass extinction crisis, predominantly driven by anthropogenic activities, with land use change causing widespread loss and degradation of native ecosystems and indigenous species. There is an urgent need to halt this trend and restore degraded habitat to preserve biodiversity and protect threatened plants and animals ...

Natural Populations from the Phytophthora palustris Complex Show a High Diversity and Abundance of ssRNA and dsRNA Viruses

Journal of Fungi, 2022
We explored the virome of the “Phytophthora palustris complex”, a group of aquatic specialists geographically limited to Southeast and East Asia, the native origin of many destructive invasive forest Phytophthora spp. Based on high-throughput sequencing (

Improved host-plant resistance to Phytophthora rot and powdery mildew in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.)

Scientific Reports, 2020
Soybean is an important oilseed cum vegetable crop, susceptible to various biotic stresses which is attributed to recent decline in crop productivity. The emergence of virulent biotypes/strains of different plant pathogens necessitates the development of

Agroforestry and enhanced rock weathering: A dual strategy for sustainable cacao

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cacao production is both economically vital and environmentally intensive, presenting a major sustainability challenge as a crop largely cultivated by smallholder farmers in climate‐vulnerable regions. This review synthesises evidence that integrating agroforestry with enhanced rock weathering (EW) may significantly reduce emissions from cacao ...

Phytophthora sojae effector Avr1d functions as an E2 competitor and inhibits ubiquitination activity of GmPUB13 to facilitate infection

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Ubiquitination acts as a crucial regulator in plant immunity. Accordingly, microbial pathogens secrete effectors to hijack the host ubiquitination system.

A new method to measure EC50 reveals cultivar‐specific fungicide resistance and very high diversity within experimental field populations of Zymoseptoria tritici

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We isolated Zymoseptoria tritici strains from a diverse wheat field and quantified fungicide resistance using a novel plate assay. We found high diversity in fungicide sensitivity and host–fungicide–pathogen interactions. Abstract BACKGROUND Zymoseptoria tritici causes Septoria tritici blotch (STB), the most damaging wheat disease in Europe. In Europe,
