Aerated Compost Tea Did Not Promote Cu Downward Transfer but Increased Cu Phytoavailability in a Vineyard Soil Open
Vineyard soils are frequently contaminated with copper due to the use of Cu fungicides to prevent downy mildew. This study investigated the effects of an aerated compost tea (ACT) made from grape pomace and animal manure on the downward tr…

Coral recruit survivorship and growth increases with Underwater Zooplankton Light Enhancement Array (UZELA) enhanced feeding coupled with dome-shaped settlement modules Open
Coral recruitment increases genetic variation and the potential for resilience with climate change. However, recruit survivorship is typically very low, forming a bottleneck to coral persistence and reef restoration. To promote the persist…

Responses of the hyper‐diverse community of canopy‐dwelling Hymenoptera to oak decline Open
Forest decline and dieback are growing phenomena worldwide, resulting in severe, large‐scale degradation of the canopy. This can profoundly alter the provision of trophic resources and microhabitats for canopy‐dwelling arthropods. In 2019,…

Allopolyploidy: An Underestimated Driver in Juniperus Evolution Open
Allopolyploidy is considered as a principal driver that shaped angiosperms’ evolution in terms of diversification and speciation. Despite the unexpected high frequency of polyploidy that was recently discovered in the coniferous genus Juni…

Integrating morphological and genetic limits in the taxonomic delimitation of the Cuban taxa of Magnolia subsect. Talauma (Magnoliaceae) Open
An accurate taxa delimitation, based on a full understanding of evolutionary processes involved in taxa differentiation, can be gained from a combination of ecological, morphological, and molecular approaches. The taxonomy of Magnolia subs…

Bléssûr : un outil de prédiction du risque de non-conformité du blé dur vis-à vis de sa teneur en métaux lourds Open
Like all plants, roots of durum wheat absorb a very toxic metal naturally present in soils: cadmium (Cd, which contaminatesthe harvested grains. The European regulation EC 1323/2021 limits the Cd content of durum wheat to 0.18 mg Cd/kg gra…

Genetic Variability in Balkan Paleoendemic Resurrection Plants Ramonda serbica and R. nathaliae Across Their Range and in the Zone of Sympatry Open
The genus Ramonda includes three Paleoendemic and Tertiary relict species that survived in refugial habitats of the Balkan Peninsula ( R. nathaliae and R. serbica ) and the Iberian Peninsula ( R. myconi ). They are all “resurrection plants…

The Dynamics of Phosphorus Uptake and Remobilization during the Grain Development Period in Durum Wheat Plants Open
Post-anthesis phosphorus (P) uptake and the remobilization of the previously acquired P are the principal sources of grain P nutrition in wheat. However, how the acquired P reaches the grains and its partitioning at the whole plant level r…

Changes in plant growth, Cd partitioning and xylem sap composition in two sunflower cultivars exposed to low Cd concentrations in hydroponics Open
This study characterizes sunflower response to the levels of Cd encountered in moderately Cd-polluted soils. Two sunflower cultivars differing in their ability to sequestrate Cd in roots were exposed to low concentrations of Cd (0.5 nM or …

Contribution of External and Internal Phosphorus Sources to Grain P Loading in Durum Wheat (Triticum durum L.) Grown Under Contrasting P Levels Open
Phosphorus (P) in durum wheat grains after anthesis originates from either the external P source or the internal remobilization of P from different plant organs. The supply of P and its use by the plant are important factors that can affec…

Phosphorus partitioning and accumulation in durum wheat plants as affected by post-anthesis phosphorus supply Open
Phosphorus (P) management in cropping systems is an important component to secure future food demand. P export with harvested grain is a key step in P cycle in agroecosystems. To improve P use efficiency, plant P uptake and allocation need…

Polyploidy in the Conifer Genus Juniperus: An Unexpectedly High Rate Open
Recent research suggests that the frequency of polyploidy may have been underestimated in gymnosperms. One notable example is in the conifer genus Juniperus, where there are already a few reports of polyploids although data are still missi…
