Defense against Feeding by Spring Aphid Parasitism in the Upper Leaf Parts of Host Plants
In a symbiosis, each participant gains more fitness benefits than is paid in maintenance costs for the symbiosis. The mugwort aphid, Macrosiphoniella yomogicola, is ant-associated, and the host mugwort Artemisia montana is a genet-producing plant that ...

Long-term field metal extraction by pelargonium:phytoextraction efficiency in relation to plant maturity [PDF]
The long length of periods required for effective soil remediation via phytoextraction constitutes a weak point that reduces its industrial use. However, these calculated periods are mainly based on short-term and/or hydroponic controlled experiments ...

Cut-rose production in response to planting density in two contrasting cultivars [PDF]
Growing in lower planting density, rose plants produce more assimilates, which can be used to produce more and/or heavier flowering shoots. The effect of planting density was investigated during a period including the first five flowering flushes of a ...
