Fruit Quality and Fusarium Wilt Race 2 Resistance in Cucumis melo Breeding Lines and Their F1 Hybrids

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cucumis melo, a sweet‐tasting fruit from the Cucurbitaceae family, is popular in global markets. While some varieties of C. melo are used for pickling or salads, melons such as cantaloupes and honeydews are consumed as a dessert. Desirable appearance, shelf life and palatability are crucial in determining a variety's success.

Linking the Ultraviolet Index to the “shadow rule” for sun protection: A theoretical model applied with a southern hemisphere example

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
We demonstrate the potential utility of the shadow rule and how it may be understood in relation to the UV Index. The shadow rule indirectly determines the sun's altitude by observing the length of a person's shadow during the course of the day. When the shadow cast by the sun on a horizontal surface is shorter than the height of the person casting the

Mixing oak and pine trees in Mediterranean forests increases aboveground hydraulic dysfunctions

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Mixing oak and pine trees enhances hydraulic impairments of all species, although diversity can mitigate drought stress during extended drought periods. Abstract Increasing tree species diversity in Mediterranean forests could reduce drought‐induced hydraulic impairments through improved microclimate and reduced competition for water.

Drought legacy in mature spruce alleviates physiological stress during recurrent drought

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
The slow recovery of leaf area in mature spruce following a long‐term drought alleviated physiological stress during recurrent drought. Abstract Forest ecosystems are facing severe and prolonged droughts with delayed recovery, known as “drought legacy”.
