Abstract There is growing interest by consumers worldwide for edible indigenous plants and wild foods. To highlight and enhance their unique sensory properties, comprehensive sensory characterization is essential to understand and refine their sensory attributes. The aim of this study was to characterize the odor of six edible native New Zealand plants

Control and management of Phytophthora damage in forestry—A systematic mapping study
Abstract Plant pathogens in the genus Phytophthora are a severe threat to forest plantations, ecosystems and tree nurseries. Especially in forests and natural ecosystems, there is a lack of effective measures to control and manage these pathogens. In this study, we conducted a systematic mapping review to collate evidence regarding the control and ...
