Native grass breeding: Priority needs and strategic approaches
Grassland Research, EarlyView.The key needs and breeding strategies of native grass. Abstract Native grasses possess extensive ecological adaptability, such as cold, drought, and salt tolerance, and tolerance to poor soil conditions. They play a crucial role in ensuring food security and ecological security.

Honey Bees Reduce Pollen Viability While Foraging
InsectsPollen acts as both a gametophyte for plant reproduction and a vital nutrient source for bees. Adult honey bees (Apis mellifera) mix pollen with nectar, enzymes, and microbes to create ‘bee bread’, diverting pollen from plant reproduction and re ...

Howden Moss: a study of vegetational history in Upper Teesdale [PDF]
, 1976 The peat deposits at Howden Moss, Upper Teesdale, have been examined stratigraphically and pollen analytically. The present state of the bog in described and pollen diagrams are presented for three sites. The results show that peat formation had begun by
