Quantifying the value of ecosystem services: a case study of honeybee pollination in the UK [PDF]

, 2010
There is concern that insect pollinators, such as honey bees, are currently declining in abundance, and are under serious threat from environmental changes such as habitat loss and climate change; the use of pesticides in intensive agriculture, and ...

Analysis of plant metabolomics data using identification‐free approaches

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant metabolomes are structurally diverse. One of the most popular techniques for sampling this diversity is liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC‐MS), which typically detects thousands of peaks from single organ extracts, many representing true metabolites.

Animal pollination shapes fruits market features, seeds functional traits and modulates their chemistry

Scientific Reports
In this study, we experimentally addressed the impact of different pollination treatments on the morphological, reproductive and chemical traits of fruits and seeds of two crop species, the wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca L.) and cowpea (Vigna ...

Self-pollination by sliding pollen in Caulokaempferia coenobialis (Zingiberaceae) [PDF]

, 2005
Caulokaempferia coenobialis (Zingiberaceae) forms dense populations on steep cliffs in shady, humid monsoon forests in south China. It produces few consecutively opening bright yellow flowers that are 3 cm long and oriented parallel to the ground.

Chromosome‐scale reference genome of Pectocarya recurvata, the species with the smallest reported genome size in Boraginaceae

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Pectocarya recurvata (Boraginaceae, subfamily Cynoglossoideae), a species native to the Sonoran Desert (North America), has served as a model system for a suite of ecological and evolutionary studies. However, no reference genomes are currently available in Cynoglossoideae. A high‐quality reference genome for P.

infinitylists: A Shiny application and R package for rapid generation of place‐based species checklists

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Biodiversity researchers often need to answer the question: “Which species of taxon X have been documented in (or near) spatial polygon Y?” Online databases with billions of occurrence records, including vouchered specimens and citizen science records, can provide the answer; however, quick spatial processing of huge biodiversity ...

Enhancement of developmental defects in the boron‐deficient maize mutant tassel‐less1 by reduced auxin levels

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Background Plant responses to deficiencies of the micronutrient boron are diverse and go beyond the well‐characterized function of boron in cell wall crosslinking. To explain these phenotypic discrepancies, hypotheses about interactions of boron with various phytohormones have been proposed, particularly auxin.

Pollination Strategies to Improve Fruit Set in Orchards of ‘Manzanilloʼ Olive in a Nontraditional Producing Country, Mexico

HortTechnology, 2019
In countries new to producing ‘Manzanillo’ olive trees (Olea europaea), free cross-pollination is often insufficient to obtain high levels of fruit set. An appropriate pollination design is therefore essential to ensure a timely, abundant, and compatible

A Comprehensive Review of Current Robot- Based Pollinators in Greenhouse Farming [PDF]

arXiv
The decline of bee and wind-based pollination systems in greenhouses due to controlled environments and limited access has boost the importance of finding alternative pollination methods. Robotic based pollination systems have emerged as a promising solution, ensuring adequate crop yield even in challenging pollination scenarios.
