Iodine uptake and distribution in horticultural and fruit tree species

Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2012
Iodine is an essential microelement for humans and iodine deficiency disorder (IDD) is one of the most widespread nutrient-deficiency diseases in the world. Iodine biofortification of plants provides an attractive opportunity to increase iodine intake in

Assessing the sustainability of agricultural production - a cross-sectoral comparison of the blackberry, tomato and tree tomato sectors in Ecuador

International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability, 2022
Achieving a sustainable agricultural system requires an effective assessment of economic, environmental, and social conditions. Existing research has mainly focused on a single sector and lacks critical comparisons of determinants and trade-offs between sustainability dimensions.

A Statistical Mechanics Model to Decode Tissue Crosstalk During Graft Formation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce a statistical mechanics framework to decode the genomic crosstalk governing plant grafting. By integrating evolutionary game theory with transcriptomics, we reconstruct idopNetworks (informative, dynamic, omnidirectional, and personalized networks) that map scion–rootstock interactions.

Characterization of the attributes impacting industrial adoption of tree tomato fruit varieties in Kenya

Cogent Food & Agriculture
Tree tomato (Cyphomandra betacea), is a nutrient-dense fruit but the physicochemical properties differ depending on the origin and cultivar. The study aimed at characterizing attributes impacting value addition and industrial adoption of tree tomato ...

Impact of host plant species and whitefly species on feeding behavior of Bemisia tabaci [PDF]

, 2019
Whiteflies of the Bemisia tabaci species complex are economically important pests of cassava. In Africa, they cause greatest damage through vectoring viruses responsible for cassava mosaic disease and cassava brown streak disease. Several cryptic species

Additive and Partially Dominant Effects from Genomic Variation Contribute to Rice Heterosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Additive and partially dominant effects, namely at mid‐parent levels or values between mid‐parent and parental levels, respectively, are the predominant inheritance patterns of heterosis‐associated molecules. These two genetic effects contribute to heterosis of agronomic traits in both rice and maize, as well as biomass heterosis in Arabidopsis ...

Entomofauna associated with the cultivation of creeping tomato trees under different shading meshes

Idesia (Arica), 2023
ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the effects of protected and unprotected tomato cultivation on the insect population at the order level. The creeping tomato cv. Lampiao was grown on white plástic mulching during the dry season and at high temperatures.

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Serological and molecular characterization of Syrian Tomato spotted wilt virus isolates

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2015
Thirty four Syrian isolates of Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) collected from tomato and pepper were tested against five specific monoclonal antibodies using TAS-ELISA. The isolates were in two serogroups.
