Linking biosurface reactivity and photosynthesis to investigate Sphagnum mosses as ecosystem engineers

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Habit photographs of field‐collected and in vitro‐cultivated (c) Sphagnum spp. used for experiments. Summary Sphagnum mosses regulate peatland carbon storage, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem functioning. However, the links among their surface chemistry, photosynthesis, responses to submersion and pH remain poorly understood.

Effects of Antimitotic Agents, Temperature and Immersion Time on Chromosome Doubling Efficiency in Supersweet Corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata)

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Doubled haploid technology accelerates the development of fully homozygous maize lines compared with conventional selfing. However, specific protocols for supersweet corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata), particularly regarding immersion time in antimitotic solutions and temperature during chromosome doubling, remain poorly defined.

Evaluating the sustainability of Sphagnum moss harvesting or farming versus horticultural peat using a multi-criteria decision framework

Environmental Challenges
As horticultural peat availability declines, alternative growing media are increasingly needed. Sphagnum moss has emerged as a high-quality substitute, yet its sustainability has not been thoroughly assessed.

Improved Autotetraploid Induction Methods in Four Diploid Wild Peanut Species: Arachis duranensis, A. stenosperma, A. magna, and A. batizocoi

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L., 2n = 4x = 40, AABB) is an important legume crop worldwide. Wild peanuts (Arachis spp.) represent a valuable secondary gene pool with diverse disease resistances. However, most wild peanut species are diploid (2n = 2x = 20) and this ploidy barrier is a major obstacle to hybridization and gene introgression.

Diel net CO2 exchange of carnivorous Pinguicula is consistent with low‐level CAM photosynthesis

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In carnivorous butterworts (Pinguicula), CO2 uptake occurs primarily in the light via C3 photosynthesis, yet low‐level CAM photosynthesis, including net CO2 dark fixation, significantly improves the carbon balance of plants, especially under water‐deficit conditions.

Plant endemism of the Balkan high‐mountain fens: a community‐level synthesis and their climate change perspective

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Balkan high‐mountain fens harbour unique endemic plant communities, with a west‐to‐east compositional gradient and local richness primarily shaped by palaeoclimate. As these fens have already experienced drier, warmer summers than at present, they may withstand climate change if actively and effectively protected. Abstract The phenomenon of Balkan high‐

Environmental drivers of gaseous carbon fluxes in drained and rewetted Minnesota peatlands, U. S. A.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Rewetting shows promise for mitigating carbon loss from drained peatlands. However, knowledge gaps remain in rewetting impacts on gaseous carbon fluxes and factors affecting rewetting success, especially in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, United States, despite abundant degraded peatlands presenting restoration opportunities ...

Short‐term soil responses and site conditions to inverted mounding on peatland linear features in Alberta, Canada

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Seismic lines represent one of the most extensive and persistent anthropogenic disturbances in boreal peatlands, limiting forest regeneration and altering key ecosystem functions. Inverted mounding is increasingly applied to elevate planting microsites above shallow water tables, yet evidence on short‐ to medium‐term biophysical ...

Multi‐year occupancy and habitat use in a threatened butterfly reintroduced onto a restored peatland

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over half of insect species reintroductions are unsuccessful, frequently because of insufficient habitat resources and a knowledge‐gap regarding the target species habitat requirements. Multi‐season occupancy models, seldom used with invertebrates, offer the opportunity to disentangle the effects of habitat suitability and ...
