The interplay between propagule pressure, seed predation and ectomycorrhizal fungi in plant invasion [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2019 There are many hypotheses aiming to explain invasion success, but evaluating individual hypotheses in isolation may hinder our ability to understand why some species invade and others fail.

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global warming and industrial pollutants pose significant threats to environmental sustainability. In response, enzymes have emerged as promising tools for mitigating pollution. Enzymatic hydrolysis is considered environmentally sustainable due to its biological nature.

Cloning capacity helps seeds of Garcinia xanthochymus counter animal predation
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Seed predators have the potential to act as agents of natural selection that influence seed traits and seed fates, which in turn affect the whole plant population dynamic. Accordingly, plants deploy a variety of mechanisms (e.g., resistance and tolerance

Individual crop size increases predispersal predation by beetles in a tropical palm
, 2020 Predispersal seed predation is one of the main causes of seed mortality in plant populations, contributing to decreased plant recruitment. Seed loss has previously been found to be related to crop size.

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.Genetic engineering (GE) overcomes BCA limits, enabling robust, scalable crop protection. “Super Bioagents” (SBs) use optimized SSs to enhance bioactive molecule delivery. Optimizing SSs enhance precise, sustainable effector deployment for stable disease suppression. SBs use microbiome‐informed design for scalable, next‐gen sustainable crop protection.

The impact of herbivores on the natural regeneration of temperate deciduous woodland [PDF]
, 1999 Many studies have reported deficient or intermittent patterns of natural regeneration in temperate deciduous woodland. The present study aimed to assess the relative impact of herbivore-mediated plant mortality on the natural regeneration dynamics of ...

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...
