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 ...

Solanum lycopersicoides Introgression Lines Used as Rootstocks Uncover QTLs Affecting Tomato Morphological and Fruit Quality Traits

open access: yesHorticulturae
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is the most important vegetable crop globally; however, its production is often hindered by soil-borne biotic and abiotic stresses.

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 ...

Friends or foes? Polyploidy and competition in a grassland geophyte

open access: yesOikos, 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

Friables and embryogenic callus induction from embryo, ovule and style of citrus rootstocks : [P97] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The incorporation of new technologies such as in vitro selection and protoplast fusion methods into citrus improvement programs offers new opportunities to facilitate, expedite, and fully utilize germplasm variability for both scion and rootstock ...

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 ...

In vitro screening of four genotypes of citrus for salt tolerance : S08P07 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Soil and water salinity is an important abiotic stress that can affect both production and quality of citrus. The use of tolerant rootstocks in these conditions would be the solution the most used.
