The Effects of Protected Areas in Nepal as a Barrier Against Plant Invasions Are Associated With Lower Propagule Pressure and Less Intensive Disturbance

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Protected areas are established to conserve global biodiversity threatened by various factors, including invasive plants. We recorded naturalised alien plants inside and outside of protected areas to test whether they act as a barrier against the spread of alien plants.

Analysis of three sugarcane homo/homeologous regions suggests independent polyploidization events of Saccharum officinarum and Saccharum spontaneum [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2017
Whole genome duplication has played an important role in plant evolution and diversification. Sugarcane is an important crop with a complex hybrid polyploid genome, for which the process of adaptation to polyploidy is still poorly understood. In order to improve our knowledge about sugarcane genome evolution and the homo/homeologous gene expression ...

Exploring potential strategies for haploid induction based on double fertilization in plants

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 9, Page 4000-4016, September 2025.
Summary Haploid induction (HI), an indispensable procedure in doubled haploid breeding, has attracted increasing attention in crop genetic improvement due to its ability to rapidly fix desirable traits in a homozygous state, thereby shortening the breeding cycle.

A new basic chomosome number in Saccharum spontaneum L.

CYTOLOGIA, 1990
During meiotic study in a clone of S. spontaneum L. (2n=54), it was found that some (11.39±2.52%) PMCs undergo cytomixis during pre-metaphase-I. Unlike many instances, only 18 bivalents were found to migrate along with the nucleolus into the recipient cell, and 9 bivalents remained in the donor cell.

Non‐coding RNAs in plant stress responses: molecular insights and agricultural applications

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 3195-3233, August 2025.
Summary Non‐coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators in plant responses to environmental stress, orchestrating complex networks that finetune gene expression under both abiotic and biotic challenges. To elucidate this intricate ncRNA crosstalk, this review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of key ...

Expanding the Resist–Accept–Direct framework for developing nature‐based solutions and societal adaptations to biological invasions

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 7, Page 1505-1520, July 2025.
Abstract Biological invasions threaten biodiversity and human well‐being, making invasive species management a global necessity. Despite substantial investments in engineering‐based management approaches, preventing invasions is becoming harder with rising species introductions.
