Interaction Network Between Frugivorous Birds and Plants in Karst Habitats. [PDF]
The results suggested that interaction networks in a nature reserve were temporally complex and variable. A network approach could offer an important monitoring tool for detecting crucial ecosystem functions of bird–plant associations. ABSTRACT The karst region of southwest China is characterized by fragmented habitats featuring high plant diversity ...

The ZmRACK1-ZmCDPK7-ZmAPX1 module regulates plant antiviral immunity. [PDF]
In maize, ZmRACK1 acts as a scaffold protein that bridges the cyclin‐dependent kinase ZmCDPK7 and the ascorbate peroxidase ZmAPX1, promoting ZmAPX1 activity to mitigate MCMV infection. Upon viral infection, P31 obstructs formation of the ZmRACK1‐ZmCDPK7‐ZmAPX1 complex, inhibiting ZmCDPK7‐mediated ZmAPX1 activity and promoting reactive oxygen species ...

Gene Flow and Abundance of a Tropical Fruit Fly in a Horticultural Landscape Mosaic in Eastern Australia Is Limited by Cleared Grazing Land and Area-Wide Management. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Landscape ecology and genetics provide important analytical frameworks for investigating the effect of environmental features on ecological processes. Few empirical studies, however, have simultaneously tested how landscape characteristics influence spatial patterns of gene flow and abundance of pest insects in heterogeneous environments.

Nitrogen Fertilizer Recommendations for Sugarcane Production for Sugar on Florida Sand Soils
Sands used in sugarcane production in Florida have low levels of organic matter, silt, and clay, and they provide little nitrogen (N) through mineralization of organic matter and possess a low capacity for N retention as a result.
