Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.The new species Drimia courtallensis from the Nellai Wildlife Sanctuary of Tamil Nadu, India is described and illustrated. It is similar to Drimia razii,in its necked bulb, hysteranthous nature, lax inflorescence and diurnal flowers on moderately short pedicels but it can be distinguished by its broader linear‐lanceolate leaves (230–420 × 6–15 mm ...

Friends or foes? Polyploidy and competition in a grassland geophyte
Oikos, EarlyView.Previous studies have suggested polyploids may possess a competitive advantage over diploids, due to their larger size, increased vigour or ability to better respond to abiotic stress. However, few studies have tested the effect of polyploidy on competitive ability directly, and only relatively recently has this oversight begun to be addressed. Here we

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Biodiversity is threatened by human activities, with extinction debt accumulating rapidly. Many of these activities change the connectivity of populations, fragmenting existing population systems or bringing previously isolated populations or species into contact.

Transport engineering as a strategy to realize rapeseed's potential as a protein‐rich food
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The heavily pesticide‐dependent rapeseed is an under‐utilized protein source for food owing to anti‐nutritional glucosinolates. Transport engineering technology may reduce glucosinolates in seeds while increasing defense in vegetative parts. Abstract Rapeseed is the world's second‐largest oilseed crop, and the low‐value press cake that remains after ...

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Butylparaben (BuP) recurrently contaminates soils worldwide, mainly by incorporating sewage sludge into cultivated areas, using wastewater in irrigation, and leaching contaminated soils. However, there are few studies on the ecotoxicological effects of this paraben on edaphic organisms.

Creating insect neopolyploid lines to study animal polyploid evolution
Evolutionary ApplicationsWhole‐genome duplication (polyploidy) poses many complications but is an important driver for eukaryotic evolution. To experimentally study how many challenges from the cellular (including gene expression) to the life history levels are overcome in ...
