Identity recognition and plant behavior [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2010 The ability to distinguish self from non-self allows organisms to protect themselves against attackers. Sagebrush plants use volatile cues emitted by clipped neighbors to adjust their defenses against herbivores. Recently, we reported that cues from genetically identical 'self' clones were more effective at reducing damage than were cues from 'non-self'

The hygroscopic behavior of plant fibers: a review [PDF]
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2014 Environmental concern has resulted in a renewed interest in bio-based materials. Among them, plant fibers are perceived as an environmentally friendly substitute to glass fibers for the reinforcement of composites, particularly in automotive engineering. Due to their wide availability, low cost, low density, high-specific mechanical properties, and eco-

Pesticides: Behavior in Agricultural Soil and Plants [PDF]
Molecules, 2021 This review considers potential approaches to solve an important problem concerning the impact of applied pesticides of various classes on living organisms, mainly agricultural crops used as food. We used the method of multi-residual determination of several pesticides in agricultural food products with its practical application for estimating ...

Arctic Migratory Raptor Selects Nesting Area During the Previous Breeding Season
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Migratory species have a limited time for habitat selection upon arrival at the breeding grounds. This is especially evident in arctic migrants, which are restricted by a narrow window of opportunity when environmental conditions are favorable for ...

Copiotrophic Bacterial Traits Increase With Burn Severity One Year After a Wildfire
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 Wildfire and burn severity influence soil microbial communities during post-fire recovery. If post-fire differences in microbial communities affect soil carbon (C) pool dynamics, altered microbial communities could influence the transition of forests ...

Radionuclides Behavior in Fruit Plants [PDF]
, 2016 This paper summarizes research carried out on fruits by the Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (UCSC) in Piacenza, Italy. Among the fruit crops studied, strawberry, blackberry, grapevine, apple, pear, and olive, research on strawberry and blackberry was funded by the Food Standard Agency (UK). Fruit plants were grown in pots, kept under tunnels or in

Is membrane occupation and recognition nexus domain functional in plant phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinases? [PDF]
, 2010 Phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinase (PIPK) catalyzes a key step controlling cellular contents of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2], a critical intracellular messenger involved in vesicle trafficking and modulation of actin ...

Seeing Green: The Re-discovery of Plants and Nature’s Wisdom
Societies, 2013 In this article, I endeavor to recount the odd history of how we have come to perceive plants like we do, and illustrate how plants themselves perceive and sense the world and, most importantly, what they can tell us about Nature. Through examples of the
