Mitigating ground effect on mini quadcopters with model reference adaptive control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Mitigating ground effect becomes a big challenge for autonomous aerial vehicles when they are flying in close proximity to the ground. This paper aims to develop a precise model of ground effect on mini quadcopters, provide an advanced control algorithm ...

Origin matters: mycorrhizal growth response and induced resistance to pathogens depend on mycorrhizal and pathogen source

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are critical to native plant community ecology and influence plant invasions. Research has focused on nutritional benefits of AMF, although evidence shows that they may also confer pathogen resistance. However, most such work has focused on agriculturally relevant plant species.

Hop Optimal Irrigation Trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Hops reportedly use about 610 to 715 mm (24 to 28 inches) of water per year (Evans 2003). Rainfall can contribute to this total, however, due to climatic variability, it is important that hops are irrigated regularly to combat moisture stress.

The glutamate receptor‐like GLR2.7 modulates insect egg‐induced defense responses in Arabidopsis

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Upon perception of insect eggs, Arabidopsis thaliana activates a generic immune response that culminates in cell death (hypersensitive‐like response (HR‐like)). While this response can subsequently impact egg survival, the molecular mechanisms are poorly understood.

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Drought and Herbivory Drive Physiological and Phytohormonal Changes in Soybean (Glycine max Merril): Insights From a Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With climate change, abiotic and biotic stresses such as drought and herbivory are predicted to further diminish agricultural productivity. Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill), a crop of global economic importance, is vulnerable to both. However, the interactive effects of drought and herbivory on soybeans haven't been explored, especially ...

Entomopathogenic Nematodes Induce Metabolic Reallocation in Maize Roots Without Altering the Performance of Two Root Herbivores, Diabrotica virgifera and Diabrotica balteata

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are key biological control agents in agriculture, but their direct effects on plant metabolism and resistance to herbivory remain underexplored. By combining transcriptomic, metabolomic, and herbivore assays, this study aimed at providing a holistic description of maize root responses to EPNs and to assess ...

An innovative approach to reduce chemicals in mite control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The efficacy of an innovative technique using acaricide treated nets was recently demonstrated to control phytophagous mites on vegetables. The net impregnated with the acaricide dicofol was efficient against the broad mite Polyphagotarsonemus latus ...

Staged ecologies: Aesthetics, nature and infrastructure in the late‐modern metropolis

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
Short Abstract This paper examines the relationship between urban nature and landscape design within a £1.5 billion regeneration project that is currently unfolding in Thamesmead, a town in south‐east London. It develops the notion of ‘staged ecologies’ to examine how urban nature is being spatially and aesthetically arranged across the town's ...
