Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Stomata are microscopic pores that regulate the exchange of CO2 and water vapour, making them a major target for engineering plants with improved intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE). Proof‐of‐concept studies have demonstrated the potential to increase iWUE by reducing stomatal density (SD) and stomatal conductance (gsw) by ubiquitously ...

Visacane, the Cirad quarantine tool for the exchange of pest and disease-free sugarcane germplasm [PDF]
, 2014 Sugarcane varietal improvement requires the introduction of vegetative propagation material. The continued increase of international and intercontinental trade of plants has led to the enforcement of quarantine measures in many countries before the ...

WRKY Transcription Factors: Integral Regulators of Defence Responses to Biotic Stress in Crops
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Crops are continually challenged by biotic stresses, including fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens and insect pests, which cause substantial yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors constitute a plant‐specific and functionally diverse family that is central to immune regulation.

Genome-Wide association study for resistance to aerial propagation of leaf scald in sugarcane(Saccharum spp) [PDF]
, 2011 Leaf scald (LS) is a major sugarcane disease, resulting in cane loss and sugar yield decrease when growing susceptible cultivars. This disease is caused by a xylem invading bacterium, Xanthomonas albilineans (Xa), and is mainly transmitted by aerial ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pokkah Boeng disease (PBD), caused by Fusarium sacchari, has severely impacted the yield and quality of sugarcane, resulting in significant economic losses. However, the molecular interaction mechanisms between F. sacchari and sugarcane remain poorly understood.

Leaf Optical Responses to Light and Soil Nutrient Availability in Temperature Deciduous Trees [PDF]
, 2005 Leaf optical parameters influence light availability at the cellular, leaf, and canopy scale of integration. While recent studies have focused on leaf optical responses to acute plant stress, the effects of changes in plant resources on leaf optics ...

Restoring soil and tree nutrition through non‐industrial wood ash additions to sugarbushes
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Nutrient losses from forest soils caused by decades of acid deposition have affected tree growth and depleted soils of essential nutrients in eastern North America. Non‐industrial wood ash (NIWA) is rich in macronutrients and may be a potential remediation strategy to restore lost nutrients as a forest soil amendment.
