Ground traps are more effective than adhesive traps in measuring seed rain species richness and density. They also allow to more closely resemble the seed production of the surrounding vegetation. Management‐driven differences in the vegetation were not reflected by the seed rain of any trap type, but the advantages and disadvantages of different trap ...

Hydrogen peroxide in micropropagation of Lilium: A comparison with a traditional methodology [PDF]
The micropropagation of Lilium longiflorum requires adequate equipment which may not be afforded by small laboratories or producers. In this work we compared traditional methodology with a protocol that included easily available elements to sterilize ...

Progeny performance and pathogen attack relative to elevation in a neotropical tree [PDF]
Climate and resource availability at the parent tree location are known to explain progeny characteristics; however, few studies have examined the role of resistance or tolerance to pathogens, even though climate is a main driver of pathogen abundance ...

Imaging of Molecular and Developmental Responses to Abiotic Stresses in Reproductive Tissues
ABSTRACT Abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures, have profound effects on plant reproduction, often leading to reduced fertility and yield. Reproduction in plants involves complex interactions between diverse cells, necessitating spatiotemporal resolution to understand how stress impacts each component of this intricate ...

Functionalizing carbon nanotubes (CNT) with the mesitylcopper (Cu‐mes) complex modifies the surface of CNT, developing Cu‐Pt alloys and Cu‐species. The result is a modified Pt electronic structure that promotes the catalytic activity of the 5 wt% Pt/CNTCu‐mes nanocatalyst for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, and oxygen reduction reaction.
