Pollen Viability and Autogamy Fitness in Bauhinia forficata Link (Fabaceae)
Floresta e Ambiente, 2018 Bauhinia forficata (Fabaceae) occurs in many phytophysiognomies of southern Brazil, however its ecological relevance is not well understood. The present study was developed in the Central Depression of Rio Grande do Sul and aimed to determine variations ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Climatic conditions alter the phenology of species, which may threaten the synchrony of biotic interactions. However, how phenological synchrony across entire communities of plants and their pollinators responds to varying environmental conditions remains poorly understood.

Pollen Grain and Hybridization Studies in the Genus <i>Capsicum</i>
Notulae Scientia Biologicae, 2016 The current study aimed to evaluate the pollen viability of the commonly cultivated varieties of Capsicum species and assessed the potentials for gene exchange among the genotypes through hybridization studies. Capsicum annuum var. abbreviatum, C. annuum

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Background. Fostering healthy urban living conditions is a critical public health objective. One efficient approach lies in the contact to nature, as numerous studies have shown that urban and peri‐urban natural elements both indoors and outdoors carry a large potential in buffering typical urban threats to mental health.

The biological value of pollen of some blackcurrantcultivars (Ribes nigrum L.)
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 The studies were carried out in 1994-1997. The experimental bushes were grown in Puławy. Eight cultivars were examined ('Ben Alder', 'Ben Lomond', 'Ben Nevis', 'Ben Tirran', 'Ceres', 'Ojebyn', 'Titania', 'Triton').

Delivering resilience for people and nature in Anthropocene landscapes
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The concept of resilience is widespread in strategies for enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem services, but, in practice, resilience means different things in different socio‐ecological and policy contexts and to different people. In this perspective, we argue that the current use of the resilience concept fails to recognise this lack of ...

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2016 Roses (Rosa hybrida) are the most important ornamental cut-flowers and breeders’ main focus is to develop new desirable modern cultivars. Rose breeding programs center on the introduction of new flower colors, thornless stems, higher production and ...

The potential of seedbank digital information in plant conservation
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Seedbanks are vital for biodiversity conservation, but their potential remains underutilised due to a limited understanding of the intraspecific genetic diversity they hold. By leveraging digitised data associated with seedbank collections, such as sampling locations, number of maternal plants and seed traits, we can attempt the estimation of genetic ...

Wheat breeding approaches for designing wheat to thrive in a warmer world
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Wheat is a vital food crop, accounting for approximately 20% of daily calories and protein consumed worldwide. However, modern‐day wheat is under pressure from global change. The improvement rate of wheat yields is not keeping up with the demand of our growing population. Furthermore, abiotic and biotic stressors are becoming more prevalent. This paper

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Many plant species worldwide are struggling to regenerate due to the ongoing effects of climate change. These effects appear to be further exacerbated by the loss of keystone megafauna, which were important seed dispersers. By identifying the traits commonly seen in seeds spread by modern elephants, it is possible to predict which species likely ...
