Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...

Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

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 ...

Cytological Characterization of vrnp 1, a Pollen-Free Male Sterile Mutant in Mung Bean (Vigna radiata)

Agronomy
Mung bean (Vigna radiata) plays a significant role in agricultural trade, food processing and utilization, and cropping structure adjustment due to its abundant nutritional components, medicine-food homology, capacity for nitrogen fixation, and soil ...

Phylogenomic insights into the genus Tulipa (Liliaceae): Taxonomy, evolution, and biogeography

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Tulips are one of the best‐known geophytes, but their taxonomy remains convoluted and their evolutionary history poorly understood. Here, we used plastid genomes to identify some issues with current classification, understand the diversification history of the genus, and identify potential species linked to historical cultivation ...

Downregulation of OsAGO17 by artificial microRNA causes pollen abortion resulting in the reduction of grain yield in rice

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2018
Background: Pollen development is an important reproductive process that directly affects pollen fertility and grain yield in rice. Argonaute (AGO) proteins, the core effectors of RNA-mediated silencing, play important roles in regulating plant growth ...

Reproductive stages in lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) occur earlier with increasing temperature

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.

Genome-Wide Identification of GH17s Family Genes and Biological Function Analysis of SlA6 in Tomato

Plants
Glycoside hydrolases (GHs), enzymes that break down glycosidic bonds in carbohydrates and between carbohydrates and non-carbohydrates, are prevalent in plants, animals, microorganisms, and other organisms.

Application of a novel schema for describing fossil fern foliage and investigating taxonomic and morphological change across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in western North America

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The Chicxulub asteroid impact at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary triggered a mass extinction 66 million years ago. Ferns thrived in the aftermath of the extinction, evidenced by the well‐documented “fern spore spike.” However, fern macrofossil records across the K–Pg boundary are less understood.

Genome-Wide Identification of Petunia Hsp20 Gene Family and Functional Characterization of MYC2a-Regulated CIV Subfamily in Pollen Development

Agronomy
Plant heat shock proteins (Hsps) are from a diverse and ancient protein family, with small Hsps of ~20 kDa molecular weight classified as Hsp20s. As a key transcription factor in the jasmonic acid (JA) pathway, myelocytomatosis protein 2 (MYC2) plays a ...
