Conservation challenges and opportunities for native apple (Malus) species in Canada
Apple, one of the world's most widely cultivated and economically important fruit crops, has two wild relatives native to Canada. In this review, we describe the importance of these native apple species to Indigenous heritage and the current threats the species faces due to pests, diseases, and habitat loss.

Preliminary genetic barcodes for ash (Fraxinus) species and generation of new wide hybrids
Societal Impact Statement The world‐wide diversity of ash trees includes genetic information encoding resistance to the ash dieback fungus and the emerald ash borer beetle, which are currently devastating ash populations in Europe and North America. In order to mobilise this genetic diversity in conventional breeding programmes, we need to be able to ...

Large palynological collections have been built over decades and contain vital information. However, they are often difficult to access and use effectively. What is the point of having such collections if they are not fully utilizable? To solve this problem, we digitized the Smithsonian palynological collection using both light and confocal microscopy.

Incorporating soil biological and functional attributes to advance ecological restoration
Earth is currently experiencing a mass extinction crisis, predominantly driven by anthropogenic activities, with land use change causing widespread loss and degradation of native ecosystems and indigenous species. There is an urgent need to halt this trend and restore degraded habitat to preserve biodiversity and protect threatened plants and animals ...

The osmoadapted B. amyloliquefaciens VFS2 showed strong antifungal activities against Vicia faba‐pathogenic fungi and produced significant amounts of cLPs isoforms, indole‐3‐acetic acid, and siderophores under osmotic stress. These properties were associated with a Vicia faba Fusarium‐wilt disease biocontrol under saline and water‐deficient conditions.
