Combinations of Abiotic Factors Differentially Alter Production of Plant Secondary Metabolites in Five Woody Plant Species in the Boreal-Temperate Transition Zone

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) are a key mechanism by which plants defend themselves against potential threats, and changes in the abiotic environment can alter the diversity and abundance of PSMs.

In vitro laser radiation induces mutation and growth in Eustoma grandiflorum plant

Bulletin of the National Research Centre, 2019
Background Eustoma grandiflorum is a new floral crop for the international flowers market, moderately cold-tolerant annual or biennial plant. A large number of seedlings can be produced by seed propagation but the quality is not uniform due to variations

Changes in plant debris and carbon stocks across a subalpine forest successional series

Forest Ecosystems, 2021
Background As a structurally and functionally important component in forest ecosystems, plant debris plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Although it is well known that plant debris stocks vary greatly with tree species composition, forest ...

Improving the quality of Napier grass silage with pyroligneous acid: Fermentation, aerobic stability, and microbial communities

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The presence of undesirable microorganisms in silage always leads to poor fermentation quality and low aerobic stability. Pyroligneous acid (PA), a by-product of biochar production, is known to have strong antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

Establishing macroecological trait datasets: digitalization, extrapolation, and validation of diet preferences in terrestrial mammals worldwide [PDF]

, 2014
Ecological trait data are essential for understanding the broad-scale distribution of biodiversity and its response to global change. For animals, diet represents a fundamental aspect of species’ evolutionary adaptations, ecological and functional roles,

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) analyses of early anatomical changes in rose adventitious root formation

Scientific Reports
Adventitious root (AR) formation is a genetically complex trait with high genotypic variability. Therefore, only a limited range of cultivars are currently propagated by cuttings in rose.

Hardwood Tree Genomics: Unlocking Woody Plant Biology

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Woody perennial angiosperms (i.e., hardwood trees) are polyphyletic in origin and occur in most angiosperm orders. Despite their independent origins, hardwoods have shared physiological, anatomical, and life history traits distinct from their herbaceous ...
