The low level of plastome differentiation observed in some lineages of Poales hinders molecular species identification

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Chloroplast genomes are a source of information successfully used in various fields of plant genetics, including molecular species identification. However, recent studies indicate an extremely low level of interspecific variability in the plastomes of ...

Soil salinity effects on pollen and pollinator visitation in a buzz‐pollinated glycophyte, Solanum carolinense

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Human activity has significantly altered the salt cycle, affecting an estimated 2.5 billion acres of soil worldwide. Elevated soil salinity is a well‐known plant stressor, but it may also affect interactions between plants and insects, which are often sodium limited.

Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...

Impact of Intermediate Wheatgrass an Adjunct Ingredient on the Chemical Composition and Development of Aroma Compounds in Sake Brewing

open access: yesCereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Replacing a portion of polished rice with intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) could diversify raw materials for sake, but its effects on composition and fermentation outcomes are not well characterized. The objective of this study was to quantify how adjunct form (whole vs.
