Water ascends in woody plants : so what? [PDF]
, 2013 Woody plants are often considered as static individuals, taking up water via the root system and losing it again via leaf transpiration. Quite boring one might conclude when considering that more than 95% of the water taken up by the roots is transpired ...

Genetic dissection of two fibre yield-related stem traits in ramie (Boehmeria nivea L. Gaud)
Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2019 Ramie fibres are harvested from the stem bark of the plant, and thus two stem traits—the stem length (SL) and the stem diameter (SD)—are important components of fibre yield in this crop.

The Growth and Survival of Early Instars of \u3ci\u3eBellura Obliqua\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on \u3ci\u3eTypha Latifolia\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eTypha Angustifolia\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]
, 2017 Larvae of the noctuid moth Bellura obliqua are frequently encountered on Typha latifolia, but less commonly on Typha angustifolia. Experiments were conducted to compare the growth and survivorship of early B. obliqua instars on the two species of cattail.

Influence of Bark Beetle Infestation on Stem Diameter Dynamics
Trees, Forests and PeopleBark beetle epidemics have increased globally due to drought and a warming climate, impairing forest ecosystem services by inducing severe forest disturbances. Bark beetle infestation monitoring is urgently needed for pre-emptive forest management. However, we have a lack of thorough understanding of the physiological responses that occur on trees ...
