Resilience through diversity: The potential of modelling species and variety interactions to enhance resilience of production systems

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agricultural production systems in the global North combine monocultures of specialised varieties and breeds with external interventions and inputs. Increasing the diversity of varieties, breeds and species may increase the system's resilience to external pressures through beneficial interactions.

Prospective of indigenous African wild food plants in alleviation of the severe iron deficiency anaemia in Sub‐Saharan Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Iron deficiency anaemia remains a major public health challenge in Sub‐Saharan Africa, where population growth, displacement and limited resources heighten nutritional insecurity. We compiled a list of indigenous African underutilized wild food plants and examined their potential for addressing micronutrient deficiencies.

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').

Towards an evidence‐based and research‐driven restoration strategy for Britain's temperate rainforests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Woodlands globally are threatened by environmental change and biodiversity loss. Temperate rainforests are an ecologically rich ecosystem found in wet regions of the temperate zone, and Britain has the potential for major temperate rainforest coverage in its nature‐depleted landscape.

Prolonged Cold Storage Affects Pollen Viability and Germination along with Hydrogen Peroxide and Nitric Oxide Content in Rosa hybrida

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 ...

Field resistance of orange fruit to citrus black spot and citrus canker in D‐limonene synthase downregulated trees

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Genetically modified (GM) sweet‐oranges with downregulated CitMTSE1 gene showed reduced citrus black spot severity and citrus canker incidence, confirming terpene modulation as a promising strategy for sustainable field citrus disease resistance. Abstract BACKGROUND Citrus black spot (CBS), caused by Phyllosticta citricarpa, and citrus canker (CC ...

Breeding cold‐tolerant Orius laevigatus lines improves thermal tolerance and body size: implications for biological control

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Biological control agents performance is influenced by temperature. Two cold‐tolerant lines of O. loevigatus were developed, improving their fitness at both low and high temperatures, offering advantages far augmentative biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND The performance of biological control agents (BCAs) is strongly influenced by environmental ...
