Intraspecific and intergenerational differences in plant-soil feedbacks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Interactions between plant and soil communities are known to play an integral role in shaping ecosystems. Plants influence the composition of soil communities and soil communities in turn influence plant performance.

Heavy metal hyper accumulation potential of local flora from polluted areas of Delhi

open access: yesEnvironment Conservation Journal
Phytoremediation is a cost-effective in-situ technique that exploits plant physiology for environmental remediation. Using local flora for phytoremediation has the advantage of successful revegetation and prevents leaching of the pollutants, such as ...

Land use alters arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities and their potential role in carbon sequestration on the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Loss of belowground biodiversity by land-use change can have a great impact on ecosystem functions, yet appropriate investigations remain rare in high-elevation Tibetan ecosystems.

Rhizobacterial salicylate production provokes headaches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background Salicylic acid (SA) is produced in significant amounts by certain plant growth promoting rhizosphere bacteria, and some of these rhizobacteria have the ability to induce systemic resistance against diseases in plants.

Generally Recognized as Safe Salts for a Natural Strategy to Managing Fungicide-Resistant Penicillium Strains in the Moroccan Citrus Packinghouse

open access: yesAgriculture
The extensive application of fungicides in citrus packinghouses to mitigate economic losses has resulted in the emergence of fungicide-resistant biotypes of Penicillium spp.

Video recording and vegetation classification elucidate sheep foraging ecology in species‐rich grassland

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Factors influencing grazing behavior in species‐rich grasslands have been little studied. Methodologies have mostly had a primary focus on grasslands with lower floristic diversity.

Yearly weather variation and surface temperature drives the spatiotemporal dynamics of a threatened butterfly and its host plant

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
It remains unclear to what extent yearly weather variation and spatial variation in microclimate influences the outcome of interacting plant-animal species and whether responses differ between life stages. We collected data over several years on 46 ha on

Beneficial Microbes Affect Endogenous Mechanisms Controlling Root Development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Plants have incredible developmental plasticity, enabling them to respond to a wide range of environmental conditions. Among these conditions is the presence of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in the soil. Recent studies show that PGPR affect

Cytokinins as key regulators in plant-microbe-insect interactions: connecting plant growth and defence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Plant hormones play important roles in regulating plant growth and defence by mediating developmental processes and signalling networks involved in plant responses to a wide range of parasitic and mutualistic biotic interactions.

Bulbuls and crows provide complementary seed dispersal for China’s endangered trees

open access: yesAvian Research, 2017
Background Different functional frugivores generally exhibit unequal contributions, both in terms of quantity (seed removal) and quality (seedling recruitment), to effective seed dispersal of plant species.
