A Novel AP2/ERF Transcription Factor Controls Trichome Initiation and Fruit Development in Cucumber
ABSTRACT Trichomes, the hair‐like outgrowths of the plant epidermis, are critical for defence, reproduction and development. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing their initiation remain elusive. Here, we identified CsGL2, an AP2/ERF transcription factor, as a key integrator controlling trichome initiation and fruit development in ...

Consistent root microbiomes across contrasting habitats in a wild perennial vine
Communities of bacteria and fungi associated with the roots are similar across diverse habitats in a wild plant. Abstract While we are beginning to understand that the plant microbiome is important for plant health, we still lack information about how plant microbiomes are shaped across environments and how they influence plant performance, in ...

Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...

Abstract Introduction Since European settlement, Australia's Wet Tropics bioregion has been extensively cleared, leaving a mosaic of rainforest fragments, crops, pastures, orchards, and human settlement. Fragment isolation leads to declines in faunal diversity and genetic variability, effects potentially exacerbated by climate change. Restoring habitat

ABSTRACT A recent raft of due diligence regulation (DDR) addressing social and environmental conditions in global value chains (GVCs) has spread across the UK and Europe. An emerging literature on DDR highlights the politics of its formation. Yet, we know little about how existing sustainability governance along GVCs interacts with DDR or the wider ...
