The role of topographic and soil factors on woody plant encroachment in mountainous rangelands: A mini literature review. [PDF]

Heliyon, 2023
Mountainous rangelands provide key ecosystem goods and services, particularly for human benefit. In spite of these benefits, mountain grasslands are undergoing extensive land-cover change as a result of woody plant encroachment. However, the influence of

Silage preparation and sustainable livestock production of natural woody plant. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2023
As the global population increases and the economy grows rapidly, the demand for livestock products such as meat, egg and milk continue to increase. The shortage of feed in livestock production is a worldwide problem restricting the development of the ...

MicroRNAs in Woody Plants [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small (∼21-nucleotides) non-coding RNAs found in plant and animals. MiRNAs function as critical post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression by binding to complementary sequences in their target mRNAs, leading to mRNA destabilization and translational inhibition.

Woody Plant Cell Walls: Fundamental and Utilization.

Molecular Plant, 2023
Cell walls in plants, particularly forest trees, are the major carbon sink of the terrestrial ecosystem. Chemical and biosynthetic features of plant cell walls were revealed early on, focusing mostly on herbaceous model species.

Epigenetic Changes and Transcriptional Reprogramming Upon Woody Plant Grafting for Crop Sustainability in a Changing Environment

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Plant grafting is an ancient agricultural practice widely employed in crops such as woody fruit trees, grapes, and vegetables, in order to improve plant performance. Successful grafting requires the interaction of compatible scion and rootstock genotypes.

Describing woody plant traits - Woody Plant Ontology

, 2022
Woody plants lateral meristems lead to extensive production of secondary growth tissues (wood/secondary xylem and cork/phellem). As a result, a set of characteristic traits related to secondary tissues can be described in these plants. Woody Plant Ontology describes variables applied during woody plant observations. This ontology covers several domains
