Size variation of an herbivorous insect affects host plant damage: Mechanisms behind the effect

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Intraspecific trait variation can strengthen or weaken species interactions in ecological communities. A mechanistic understanding of how intraspecific variation affects species interactions will help identify general rules about when intraspecific variation strengthens

Sequencing and characterization the complete chloroplast genome of the potato, Solanum tuberosum L.

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the top five staple foods in China. It has high nutritional value, adaptability, and large yield. It is the third most important food crop in the world, second only to wheat and rice. In this study, we obtained the

Accelerating Breeding for Heat Tolerance in Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.): An Integrated Approach

Agronomy, 2019
Heat stress is a major limiting factor for crop productivity. Tomato is highly sensitive to heat stress, which can result in a total yield loss. To adapt to current and future heat stress, there is a dire need to develop heat tolerant cultivars. Here, we

Repeated trends in altitudinal gradients of diversity: How habitat filtering and biotic interactions structure ecological communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals that tropical butterfly communities show remarkably consistent elevational patterns of diversity and phylogenetic structure across regions with contrasting evolutionary histories, demonstrating how regional species pools and local ecological factors jointly shape biodiversity along altitudinal gradients.

Pest risk analysis for Bactrocera invadens : Guidelines on Pest Risk Analysis [PDF]

, 2010
Stripping related moisture damage has been recognized as one of the major pavement distresses since the early 1990s. The main objective of this study is to establish an effective test protocol to quantify moisture susceptibility of asphalt pavements.

Extensive Structural Variations Between Mitochondrial Genomes of CMS and Normal Peppers (Capsicum Annuum L.) Revealed by Complete Nucleotide Sequencing [PDF]

, 2014
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is an inability to produce functional pollen that is caused by mutation of the mitochondrial genome. Comparative analyses of mitochondrial genomes of lines with and without CMS in several species have revealed structural ...

Reduced fertilization regimes could boost biocontrol service without reducing crop yield

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Fertilization level influences pest control effectiveness in tomato crops. High fertilization increases plant growth and aphid density but reduces the performance of the parasitoid Aphidius ervi. In contrast, the predator Adalia bipunctata maintains consistent aphid suppression regardless of fertilization regime.

Bacterial wilt resistance in tomato, eggplant and pepper : genetic resources challenged with the multifaceted Ralstonia solanacearum species complex : [P3-49] [PDF]

, 2010
Bacterial wilt caused by strains belonging to the #Ralstonia solanacearum# species complex inflicts severe economic losses in many crops worldwide. Host resistance remains the most effective control strategy against the bacterial wilt.

Effects of dopamine on reducing salt stress damage in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) at morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular levels

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Salt stress causes oxidative and osmotic stress, resulting in decreased nutrient uptake, plant growth, and photosynthetic rate. This study suggests that foliar application of dopamine can reduce salinity‐induced oxidative damage in pepper plants by altering antioxidant activity, biochemical, and molecular responses.
