Restoration Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 5, July 2023., 2023 A high proportion of regional plant biodiversity occurs in hotspots of species richness that cover small areas created and maintained by disturbance. Sustaining plant diversity in these areas requires region‐ and habitat‐specific management of disturbance and, increasingly, habitat expansion or restoration to offset species losses.

Carbon sequestration and water management in Texas—One size does not fit all
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 6, Issue 2, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) is an integrated approach to sustainably meeting food, fiber, and feed production needs. The technical and socioeconomic feasibility of different CSA strategies depends on local conditions, and there is no one‐size‐fits‐all approach.

Lateral transfers lead to the birth of momilactone biosynthetic gene clusters in grass
The Plant Journal, Volume 111, Issue 5, Page 1354-1367, September 2022., 2022 SUMMARY Momilactone A, an important plant labdane‐related diterpenoid, functions as a phytoalexin against pathogens and an allelochemical against neighboring plants. The genes involved in the biosynthesis of momilactone A are found in clusters, i.e., momilactone A biosynthetic gene clusters (MABGCs), in the rice and barnyardgrass genomes.

Pathogen effectors: What do they do at plasmodesmata?
Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 795-804, June 2022., 2022 Many pathogen effectors are delivered to the cytosol and suppress callose accumulation at the apoplast or plasmodesmata; some undergo cell‐to‐cell symplasmic trafficking and physically interact with plasmodesmata regulators. Abstract Plants perceive an assortment of external cues during their life cycle, including abiotic and biotic stressors.

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 Abstract The invasive perennial grass Eragrostis lehmanniana has expanded rapidly throughout the Sonoran Desert (SD) while remaining sparse and patchily distributed in the neighboring Chihuahuan Desert (CD). As temperatures and patterns in precipitation change, identifying the drivers limiting spread in the CD is needed.

Forage conservation in sub‐Saharan Africa: Review of experiences, challenges, and opportunities
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 1, Page 75-99, January/February 2022., 2022 Abstract Forage conservation is an important potential solution to seasonal variation in feed quality and quantity and herder‐farmer conflicts in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). Considerable variations exist in the type of forages conserved and the preservation methods across SSA. Hay from cultivated forages is commonly made with mechanical mowers and balers

Scaling up private land conservation to meet recovery goals for grassland birds
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 1564-1574, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Long‐term population declines have elevated recovery of grassland avifauna to among the highest conservation priorities in North America. Because most of the Great Plains is privately owned, recovery of grassland bird populations depends on voluntary conservation with strong partnerships between private landowners and resource professionals ...

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 1561-1575, September 2021., 2021 Napier grass is a promising feedstock for lignocellulosic biofuel production due to its superior biomass production and persistence. However, data supporting breeding efforts of Napier grass are scarce. Crosses were made between genetically distant parents with contrasting biomass traits.

Pest categorisation of Phenacoccus solenopsis
EFSA Journal, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2021., 2021 Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Phenacoccus solenopsis (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) for the European Union (EU) territory. This species is not included in EU Commission Implementing Regulation 2019/2072. P. solenopsis is native to North America and has spread to all continents except Antarctica. It has recently
