Abstract We compare a new pollen record with pre‐existing plant‐wax isotope data from lacustrine sediments retrieved from Mt. Usborne, East Falkland. These records document variations in plant productivity, wind intensity, and moisture availability, to measure the influence of the Southern Hemisphere Westerlies (SHW) over the last 13,000 years.

Elucidating R‐gene‐mediated resistance to wheat dwarf virus in Triticum aestivum genotypes
This study investigates R‐gene‐mediated resistance to wheat dwarf virus (WDV) among different wheat genotypes. Following inoculation with Psammotettix alienus (leafhoppers) and the subsequent appearance of characteristic symptoms such as yellowing and dwarfing, phenotypic responses were evaluated alongside molecular analyses, including quantification ...
