Resource limitation and competition shape reproductive allocation and synchrony

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The dynamics of reproductive allocation (RA) in herbaceous plant communities, particularly in response to varying environmental conditions such as drought stress and competitive interactions, remain underexplored. This study aims to fill this gap by hypothesising that both belowground resource limitation and the presence of dominant species ...

Time tells: plasticity and developmental asynchrony underlie trait variation in a dune‐building grass

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Habitat‐modifying plants engineer landscapes through plant‐environment feedbacks. The strength of these feedbacks is determined by above‐ and below‐ground traits shaping landscape morphology. Besides interspecific differences, recent findings highlight that intraspecific trait variation, such as shoot density, can also influence landscape morphology ...

An Investigation of the Efficacy of Curcumin for Treatment of Alzheimer\u27s Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Curcumin is the primary curcuminoid found in the rhizome of the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa), responsible for the spice’s distinctive yellow color. Research conducted within the past two decades suggests that the compound may be an effective treatment ...

The Noble Chafer and traditional orchards: Evaluating the role of indicator species in the conservation of cultural landscapes

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract England's traditional orchards are important habitats for a range of invertebrate species, providing biodiverse habitat for many species not found in other landscapes. Increased loss of these once common landscape features, exacerbated by changing land use, anthropogenic habitat fragmentation, and the loss of traditional or customary practices,

Effects of environmental factors on the growth response of above- and below-ground parts of Mankyua chejuense , endangered endemic plant to Jeju province, in Korea

open access: yesJournal of Ecology and Environment, 2014
Mankyua chejuense is a native endangered plant distributed only in Gotzawal, a forested wetland, in Jeju Province, Korea. In order to determine the optimal environmental conditions for the growth and development of M.

Irrigation using slightly saline water from emerging desalination technologies as a solution to short‐term drought

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
With global weather patterns becoming more extreme and unpredictable, sourcing reliable irrigation water is vital for improving food security and conserving drinking water in drought‐prone areas. Emerging desalination technologies, which are still in the development phase, could potentially provide large quantities of slightly saline water for ...

Genetic Variability, Character Association and Path Coefficient analysis in Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2014
Genetic variability, correlation and path analysis was studied for rhizome yield and its component characters in 30 diverse genotype of turmeric. The analysis of variance revealed the significant differences among the genotypes for all the traits ...

Genomic structure and ex situ conservation of the North American grapevine Vitis labrusca

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The North American wild grapevine species Vitis labrusca is an important source of disease resistance and climate resilience traits for breeding new grapevine cultivars. To ensure its continued use in breeding, V. labrusca must be accurately identified and genetically diverse material must be conserved.

A comprehensive checklist of Mediterranean wild edible plants: Diversity, traditional uses, and knowledge gaps

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The use of wild edible plants and the traditional knowledge associated with them are rapidly disappearing across the Mediterranean, with serious consequences for biodiversity, cultural heritage, and regional food security. This study compiles and organizes fragmented information to create the first comprehensive catalogue of these plants across the ...
