Invasive-plant traits, native-plant traits, and their divergences as invasion factors. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
AbstractInvasive plants exert significant ecological impacts on native plants, communities, and ecosystems. However, consistent conclusions regarding how traits of invasive plants, native plants, and their divergences affect invasion dynamics are still lacking.

Opposing effects of plant traits on diversification. [PDF]

iScience, 2023
Species diversity can vary dramatically across lineages due to differences in speciation and extinction rates. Here, we explore the effects of several plant traits on diversification, finding that most traits have opposing effects on diversification. For example, outcrossing may increase the efficacy of selection and adaptation but also decrease mate ...

Trait ecology of startup plants

New Phytologist, 2022
SummaryStartup plants include seedlings and basal and epicormic resprouts. It has long been held that startups have different strategies from adult plants, but theory for what trait differences to expect is limited and not yet quantitatively tested. Three applicable concepts are analogous to human startup firms, R‐shift, and trait‐growth theory.

TRY – a global database of plant traits [PDF]

Global Change Biology, 2011
Abstract Plant traits – the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants and their organs – determine how primary producers respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, influence ecosystem processes and services and provide a link from species richness to ecosystem ...

Targeted plant hologenome editing for plant trait enhancement [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2020
Summary Breeding better crops is a cornerstone of global food security. While efforts in plant genetic improvement show promise, it is increasingly becoming apparent that the plant phenotype should be treated as a function of the holobiont, in which plant and microbial traits are deeply intertwined. Using a minimal holobiont model, we track ethylene

Complex-trait analysis in plants [PDF]

Genome Biology, 2010
Two recent studies in Arabidopsis have identified quantitative trait loci (QTLs) by population- association and family-based studies, respectively, providing further data on the genetic architecture of complex-trait variation in plants.

A functional trait perspective on plant invasion [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2012
Global environmental change will affect non-native plant invasions, with profound potential impacts on native plant populations, communities and ecosystems. In this context, we review plant functional traits, particularly those that drive invader abundance (invasiveness) and impacts, as well as the integration of these traits across multiple ecological

The China Plant Trait Database: toward a comprehensive regional compilation of functional traits for land plants [PDF]

Ecology, 2017
AbstractPlant functional traits provide information about adaptations to climate and environmental conditions, and can be used to explore the existence of alternative plant strategies within ecosystems. Trait data are also increasingly being used to provide parameter estimates for vegetation models.

Impact of Mulch Film Color on Soil Temperature and Yield of Cucumber Cultivated in the Fall in Sichuan Basin

Guan'gai paishui xuebao, 2021
【Background】 Cucumber is one of the main vegetables cultivated in the Sichuan basin, but the annual average solar radiation, 1 500 MJ/m2, in the basin cannot meet its requirement for light.

Complex plant traits: Time for polygenic analysis [PDF]

Trends in Plant Science, 1996
Currently, mapping of genes for complex traits is an area of active theoretical research at the interface of genetics and statistics. Much progress has been made over the past few years in handling statistically complex but realistic multilocus models.
