MeJA application strengthened both direct and indirect coffee defenses against the white mealybug Planococcus citri, whereas the effects of MeSA were variable and context‐dependent across the defensive traits examined. The combined application of both elicitors produced an effect similar to MeSA on direct defenses, but resembled MeJA when indirect ...

Effects of nonionic surfactants on soil structure, soil properties and soil water flow
【Objective】Nonionic surfactants are soil amendments that could modify water surface tension, alter soil repellency, and affect water flow and distribution in soil.

A lipid‐sensitive food choice behavior influences aging outcomes from a longevity‐promoting diet
C. elegans are exposed to a variety of bacteria in their natural environment and must be able to distinguish between beneficial and detrimental food sources. We show that C. elegans exposed to the bacterium from their natural habitat, Methylobacterium, disrupts lipid homeostasis, causing worms to avoid this bacterial species and choose the laboratory ...

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

The Study of Biological Soil Crusts: Hotspots and Prospects
Biological soil crusts (BSCs), which cover 35% of the continents and exceed 70% of the living cover in parts of region, play important ecological roles in the evolution of soil-water-plant systems in arid and semiarid areas.

ABSTRACT Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most destructive citrus disease worldwide, and it has been disseminated by the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri, the vector of the causing agent Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. Although processed kaolin reduces psyllid infestation, long‐term field data from commercial orchards are limited.

Effect of fire on water repellency, amount and factors of soil erosion in forests of southwest coast of the Caspian Sea [PDF]
Studying the effect of fire on hydrological properties, soil and surface features is important and essential to develop the methods preventing soil erosion for sustainable management of lands and water resources. In compartments within the study area, 15

The biological soil crusts (BSCs) in the NW Negev cause local water redistribution by increasing surface runoff. The effects of pore clogging and swelling of organic and inorganic crust components were intensively investigated in earlier studies. However,
