Proceedings of the International workshop on cocoa breeding for improved production systems, 19th-21th October 2003, Accra, Ghana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This is the fourth International Workshop to be organised by INGENIC, the International Group for the Genetic Improvement of Cocoa. The theme of the current workshop is of great importance, because average productivity of cocoa is still very low and ...

Bud take success, growth and foliage characters of different Prunus cultivars on Myrocal and Julior clonal rootstock [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The present study determined the effect of clonal rootstock of Prunus and their graft compatibility with peach, plum and apricot cultivars. Prunus scion cultivars were tongue grafted on respective Prunus clonal rootstocks in the last week of January ...

Integrative taxonomy supports DNA barcoding in revealing an abundant cryptic species in the United States Coastal Plain

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We present the most densely sampled phylogeny of Carex section Lupulinae to date (107 specimens) and describe herein a new cryptic species for science from the southern United States, which is locally abundant and found in well‐explored and densely populated areas. Combining DNA sequences with morphometric data obtained from 299 samples, we Demonstrate

Acquisitive root exploration strategies help maintain higher peak sap flux rates during summer drought, but more root biomass does not

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Roots are responsible for soil water uptake, yet little is known about how variation in fine‐root traits relates to whole‐tree water movement, particularly during periods of drought. By combining a 3‐yr dataset monitoring sap flow rates with measures of fine‐root biomass, length, and morphology across 10 tree species, we addressed hypotheses ...

GROWTH AND YIELDING OF THE SEVERAL APRICOT CULTIVARS ON THE ‘SOMO’ SEEDLING AND VEGETATIVE ROOTSTOCK PUMISELECT®

open access: yesActa Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2013
Since many years the usefulness of different rootstocks has been estimated because of the cropping level, the growth, the physiological incompatibility between scion and rootstock and the mortality of the apricot trees. The Myrobalan, apricot seedlings,

Targeted Metabolic Profiling Indicates Apple Rootstock Genotype-Specific Differences in Primary and Secondary Metabolite Production and Validate Quantitative Contribution From Vegetative Growth

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Previous reports regarding rhizodeposits from apple roots are limited, and complicated by microbes, which readily colonize root systems and contribute to modify rhizodeposit metabolite composition.

Mycorrhizal specificity of fully mycoheterotrophic Yoania in Taiwan and China and novel natural abundance stable isotope patterns

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Three species of the mycoheterotrophic orchid genus Yoania found in Taiwan and China are associated with a single taxonomic unit of white‐rot fungus from the genus Physisporinus and exhibit a stable isotope pattern distinct from other fully mycoheterotrophic (FMH) orchids associated with wood‐decaying fungi.

Organ‐specific terpenoid responses in Tanacetum vulgare are chemotype‐dependent

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Common tansy varieties defend differently: some boost root chemicals against soil pests, while others release stronger leaf scents against aphids. Abstract Specialized metabolites such as terpenoids are known to mediate plant defence mechanisms. However, how terpenoid diversity governs inducible chemistry across organs remains poorly understood.

USE OF THE GENETIC DIVERSITY OF WILD PRUNUS L. SPECIES IN BREEDING OF CLONAL ROOTSTOCKS OF STONE FRUIT CROPS

open access: yesТруды по прикладной ботанике, генетике и селекции, 2018
Sources and donors of traits important for clonal rootstock breeding have been selected from the genetic diversity of Prunus L. numbering over 5000 genotypes maintained at Krymsk Experimental Breeding Station: adaptability to biotic and abiotic ...

Supplying new cocoa planting material to farmers: a review of propagation methodologies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The review, coordinated by Bioversity International, presents an impartial, evidence-based review of cacao propagation methods, to serve as a basis for the assessment and implementation of strategies for providing farmers with quality planting materials,
