ABSTRACT Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore‐induced plant volatile (HIPV) known to attract natural enemies of herbivores; however, its effectiveness as a semiochemical across diverse cropping systems and broad geographic regions remains unclear. In this 2‐year field study, we sampled natural enemies using MeSA‐baited and unbaited (control) yellow

ABSTRACT A survey experiment on US elected local policymakers allows us to test how incumbents strategically use infrastructure projects in their electoral campaigns. Each local official is presented with a scenario in which they are asked to imagine that they are going to run for office again and that a new infrastructure project has just been ...

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 ...

Enhancing spray coverage in peanut canopies using prohexadione calcium
Abstract Excessive vine growth in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) can limit fungicide spray penetration, reducing protection against foliar diseases. Prohexadione calcium suppresses vine growth and may improve spray distribution, but its effects on fungicide coverage in peanut remain unclear.

Effects of irrigated cover crop cultivation period on common bean and soybean yield
Abstract Cover crop inclusion is essential for improving soil management in tropical no till systems; however, the optimal duration of irrigated off‐season cultivation remains uncertain. This 3‐year field study evaluated nine cover crop species or mixtures and four cultivation periods (60, 75, 90, and 105 days) on biomass production, soil chemical ...
