A dual transcriptome analysis reveals accession-specific resistance responses in Lathyrus sativus against Erysiphe pisi

Frontiers in Plant Science
Lathyrus sativus (grass pea) is a valuable crop for sustainable agriculture, offering dietary benefits and desirable agronomic traits. However, its yield stability is limited by diseases such as powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe pisi.

Global Estimation of Biophysical Variables from Google Earth Engine Platform

Remote Sensing, 2018
This paper proposes a processing chain for the derivation of global Leaf Area Index (LAI), Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR), Fraction Vegetation Cover (FVC), and Canopy water content (CWC) maps from 15-years of MODIS data ...

Species-Specific Responses to Human Trampling Indicate Alpine Plant Size Is More Sensitive than Reproduction to Disturbance

Plants, 2023
Human disturbance, such as trampling, is an integral component of global change, yet we lack a comprehensive understanding of its effects on alpine ecosystems.

Both management practices and landscape influence plant communities in urban grasslands

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The development of urban areas now requires the integration of biodiversity issues, and this leads to better consideration of their seminatural habitats.

DWARF27 and CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE 7 genes regulate release, germination and growth of gemma in Marchantia polymorpha

Frontiers in Plant Science
Strigolactones (SLs), a class of carotenoid-derived hormones, play a crucial role in flowering plants by regulating underground communication with symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM) and controlling shoot and root architecture.

Trait Estimation in Herbaceous Plant Assemblages from in situ Canopy Spectra

Remote Sensing, 2013
Estimating plant traits in herbaceous plant assemblages from spectral reflectance data requires aggregation of small scale trait variations to a canopy mean value that is ecologically meaningful and corresponds to the trait content that affects the ...

Distribution of Plant Species and Dispersal Traits along Environmental Gradients in Central Mediterranean Summits

Diversity, 2018
High-mountain ecosystems are spots of plant diversity in which species composition and traits depict a long evolutionary history of species adaptation to steep environmental gradients.

Ecological legacies of past fire and human activity in a Panamanian forest

Plants, People, Planet, 2023
Societal Impact Statement Tropical forests provide global ecosystem services and harbor much of Earth's terrestrial biodiversity, but the mechanisms driving the patterns of biodiversity remain uncertain. Palms are one of the most abundant and most widely

Invasive Rosa rugosa Reduces the Species Richness of Yellow Dune Vegetation and Causes a Shift in the Species Composition of Grey Dune Vegetation

Biology and Life Sciences Forum, 2022
This study aimed to determine the impact of invasive Rosa rugosa Thunb. on the plant communities of the Baltic coastal dunes. The study was carried out in 22 sites scattered along the Hel Peninsula (Poland). Each site consisted of a pair of plots: a plot

Functional traits of fossil plants

New Phytologist
SummaryA minuscule fraction of the Earth's paleobiological diversity is preserved in the geological record as fossils. What plant remnants have withstood taphonomic filtering, fragmentation, and alteration in their journey to become part of the fossil record provide unique information on how plants functioned in paleo‐ecosystems through their traits ...
