Natural selection on plant resistance to herbivores in the native and introduced range [PDF]
. When plants are introduced into new regions, the absence of their co-evolved natural enemies can result in lower levels of attack. As a consequence of this reduction in enemy pressure, plant performance may increase and selection for resistance to ...

The Mechanism of Plant Resistance to Heavy Metal
Heavy metal pollution in the soil results in the accumulation of heavy metals in plants. While heavy metals are toxic to plants, plants also resist the toxicity of heavy metals through the mechanism of avoidance and tolerance.

Characterization of a source of resistance to aflatoxin accumulation in maize
Aflatoxinproduced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus (Link:Fr) can accumulate in maize (Zea mays L.) and poses serious human health and economic concerns, especially in sub‐Saharan Africa. Genetic resistance against A.

Earliness, leaf surface wax and sugar content predict varietal differences for thrips damage in cabbage [PDF]
When cabbage is cultivated for storage in the Netherlands, it is usually harvested around mid-October. This type of cabbage crop may be severely damaged by thrips (Thrips tabaci).

New Insight into the Function of Dopamine (DA) during Cd Stress in Duckweed (Lemna turionifera 5511)
Dopamine (DA), a kind of neurotransmitter in animals, has been proven to cause a positive influence on plants during abiotic stress. In the present study, the function of DA on plants under cadmium (Cd) stress was revealed.

Fitness costs associated with evolved herbicide resistance alleles in plants [PDF]
Predictions based on evolutionary theory suggest that the adaptive value of evolved herbicide resistance alleles may be compromised by the existence of fitness costs.

Advances in Plant-Nematode Interactions with Emphasis on the Notorious Nematode Genus Meloidogyne. [PDF]
Plant infections by plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) continue to be one of the major limitations in agricultural systems. Root-knot nematodes (RKNs), belonging to the genus Meloidogyne, are one of the most important groups of PPNs worldwide.
