Inducible tomato defences persist in detached leaves, despite differential plant variety and gene‐dependent expression

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Short‐ and long‐term expression of PPO‐D, PI‐IIc and PR‐1a were assessed in intact plants and detached tomato leaves of two varieties infested with Tetranhycus urticae. Tomato defences were induced in both intact and detached leaves, but the induction levels varied with plant variety and gene assessed.

Long-term field pH manipulation influence on microbial activity, water repellency and physical properties of soil

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics
Studies across multiple soils find increasing pH decreases water repellency. In this study, water repellency and a range of other soil physical properties of bulk soils, aggregates and intact specimens were measured on a long-term pH field experiment on ...

In Situ Colloidal Activated Carbon for PFAS Remediation in Groundwater: Principles, Performance Expectations, and Lessons from the First Decade

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract Injectable colloidal activated carbon (CAC) has been commercially used to remediate per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater since 2016. The basis of the technology is enhanced PFAS retention within the aquifer from engineered increases in aquifer‐matrix sorptivity (“PFAS enhanced retention”), with re‐equilibration from the ...

Effect of Endophytic Fungi on Thrips tabaci Development and Population Dynamics

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi are promising biocontrol agents because they colonise healthy plant tissues asymptomatically while inducing systemic resistance that negatively affects herbivorous insects. We investigated whether treatments with the endophytes Trichoderma harzianum and Beauveria bassiana in two onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.; Sturon and Red ...

Water repellency effects on liquid- and vapor-phase water exchange in soil and clay minerals

, 2019
Drought conditions and wildfires can induce soil water repellency. Precipitation shifts are expected to exacerbate drought and wildfire in regions such as the southeastern United States, making it critical to understand how repellency affects water ...

Relationships of water repellency to soil properties for soils of southwestern Australia [PDF]

, 1997
In order predict the susceptibility of soils to the development of water repellency, it is necessary to identify predictive relationships between water repellence and commonly measured soil properties. This paper evaluates these relationships for diverse

Efficacy of Zeolite and Kaolin in the Control of Cacopsylla pyri (L.) (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) and Compatibility With Its Natural Antagonist Anthocoris nemoralis (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pear psyllid Cacopsylla pyri is a major pest of European pear orchards, responsible for significant yield losses. Its management is increasingly challenged by restrictions on synthetic active ingredients, resistance development, and the shift towards sustainable production systems.

The influence of fire history, plant species and post-fire management on soil water repellency in a Mediterranean catchment : The Mount Carmel range, Israel

, 2017
Fire is a key factor impacting soil hydrology in many Mediterranean catchments. Soil water repellency (SWR) can stimulate land degradation processes by reducing the affinity of soil and water thereby triggering a reduction in soil fertility and ...

Plant and soil communities are associated with the response of soil water repellency to environmental stress [PDF]

, 2019
A warming climate and expected changes in average and extreme rainfall emphasise the importance of understanding how the land surface routes and stores surface water.
