Expression of a Chloroplast-Targeted Cyanobacterial Flavodoxin in Tomato Plants Increases Harvest Index by Altering Plant Size and Productivity
(Frontiers Media, 2019-11)
Tomato is the most important horticultural crop worldwide. Domestication has led to the selection of highly fruited genotypes, and the harvest index (HI), defined as the ratio of fruit yield over total plant biomass, is ...
Editorial : Plant transformation
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04)
Plant transformation provides a key tool for much basic research, such as the study of gene functions and interactions, protein–protein interactions, developmental processes, as well as applications for crop improvement ...
Alterations of Endogenous Hormonal Levels in Plants under Drought and Salinity
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2016-07)
The phytohormones are pivotal chemical messengers produced within the plant that regulate its growth and development, and responses to environmental stimuli. Drought and salinity are adverse environmental factors that ...
Nitric oxide signaling by plant-associated bacteria
(Wiley, 2009)
The primary source of biogenic NO in the biosphere is energy metabolism within nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria, which are common inhabitants of the rhizosphere. NO produced by these bacteria regulates their mobility ...
Plant odors trigger clearing behavior in foraging trails: do they represent olfactory obstacles?
(Elsevier Science, 2019-12)
Foraging trails of leaf-cutting ants may be exposed to plant material that interferes with foragers’ flux either by physically blocking it or due to secondary metabolites which affect insect behavior. We hypothesized that ...
Increasing defoliation frequency constrains regrowth of the forage legume Lotus tenuis under flooding: The role of crown reserves
(Springer, 2011-06)
Repeated defoliation and flooding trigger opposite plant morphologies, prostrated and erect ones, respectively; while both induce the consumption of carbohydrate reserves to sustain plant recovery. This study is aimed at ...
Cattle grazing effects on annual plants assemblages in the Central Monte Desert, Argentina
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-04)
Plant assemblages' dynamics have been studied to evaluate the influence of different environmental factors. The aim of our work was to assess the effect of a disturbance in the form of livestock grazing on annual plants, ...
Towards sustainable cities: native plants on experimental rooftops promote higher insect abundance than exotics
(Ecological Society of Australia, 2020)
As urbanization continues growing, green roofs design emerges as a promising alternative to enhance plants and animals within cities. The scarce evidence available, nevertheless, gives no clear advantage of plants’ origin ...
A review of 137Cs and 40K soil-to-plant transfer factors in tropical plants
(Elsevier, 2021-09)
In this work we critically assess the soil-to-plant transfer factors (TF) for 137Cs and 40K in edible fleshy organs of tropical plants that are often components of the human diet. Radionuclide concentrations in soil and ...
