Genetic Divergence of Lineage-Specific Tandemly Duplicated Gene Clusters in Four Diploid Potato Genotypes

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the most important non-grain food crop. Tandem duplication significantly contributes to genome evolution. The objectives of this study were to (i) identify tandemly duplicated genes and compare their genomic distributions

Distinct response patterns of plants and soil microorganisms to agronomic practices and seasonal variation in a floodplain ecosystem

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionClimate change and anthropogenic activities are the greatest threats to floodplain ecosystems. A growing body of literature shows that floodplain ecosystems have experienced increased chemical fertilizer and pesticide loads, which will ...

Can Trait-Based Schemes Be Used to Select Species in Urban Forestry?

open access: yesFrontiers in Sustainable Cities, 2021
Urban forests in northern Europe are threatened by climate change and biosecurity risks, and in response, city planners are urged to select a wider portfolio of tree species to mitigate the risks of species die-off.

Solanum elaeagnifolium Invasiveness under Semi-Arid Environmental Conditions in Tunisia

open access: yesEarth, 2022
Solanum elaeagnifolium, one of the world’s most widespread invasive weeds, thrives in the regions of Tunisia with a semi-arid climate. An enhanced understanding of its biological traits could be useful for its management.

Comparison of Empirical and Physical Modelling for Estimation of Biochemical and Biophysical Vegetation Properties: Field Scale Analysis across an Arctic Bioclimatic Gradient

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
To evaluate the potential of multi-angle hyperspectral sensors for monitoring vegetation variables in Arctic environments, empirical and physical modelling using field data was implemented for the retrieval of leaf and canopy chlorophyll content (LCC ...

Upregulated Lipid Biosynthesis at the Expense of Starch Production in Potato (Solanum tuberosum) Vegetative Tissues via Simultaneous Downregulation of ADP-Glucose Pyrophosphorylase and Sugar Dependent1 Expressions

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Triacylglycerol is a major component of vegetable oil in seeds and fruits of many plants, but its production in vegetative tissues is rather limited.

A trait‐based plant economic framework can help increase the value of reforestation for conservation

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
While reforestation is gaining momentum to moderate climate change via carbon sequestration, there is also an opportunity to use tree planting to confront declining global biodiversity.

Prospects and Potential Uses of Genomic Prediction of Key Performance Traits in Tetraploid Potato

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Genomic prediction is a routine tool in breeding programs of most major animal and plant species. However, its usefulness for potato breeding has not yet been evaluated in detail.

Genome-wide association study in two-row spring barley landraces identifies QTL associated with plantlets root system architecture traits in well-watered and osmotic stress conditions

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Water availability is undoubtedly one of the most important environmental factors affecting crop production. Drought causes a gradual deprivation of water in the soil from top to deep layers and can occur at diverse stages of plant development. Roots are

Few changes in native Australian alpine plant morphology, despite substantial local climate change

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Rapid evolution is likely to be an important mechanism allowing native species to adapt to changed environmental conditions. Many Northern Hemisphere species have undergone substantial recent changes in phenology and morphology.
