Matching commercial thrips predating phytoseids with the highly diversified climatic conditions of different strawberry production systems [PDF]
, 2017 Flower inhabiting thrips (Order: Thysanoptera) are a major threat to fruit quality in strawberry production around the world. As chemical control is often inefficient, alternative control measures are of broad and current interest.

A Review of Plastic Greenhouses: The Problems, Progress, and Possibilities
HortScience, 1967 Abstract Over two centuries ago Jonathan Swift wrote “necessity is the mother of invention.” Because the late Professor Emery Myers Emmert could not afford an expensive glass greenhouse, he invented the plastic greenhouse in 1948. It was covered with 4’ × 4’ wooden frames with supporting form wire (spaced every 6 inches) on which ...

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

A leaf phenomics approach for estimating belowground traits in North American licorice
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Selective breeding over thousands of years has prioritized aboveground yield, with little regard for changes belowground. Roots underpin plant growth and resilience, but our knowledge of these critical structures lags behind that of aboveground structures.

Climate and seed mass drive intraspecific variation in seed longevity in storage
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Conservation seed banks are essential for ex situ plant conservation, but stored seeds slowly deteriorate and lose viability. Seed longevity in storage is determined by the initial seed viability and the rate of seed viability loss. The rate of seed viability loss in storage varies between species and possibly between populations or ...
