More importantly, the land with its finite resources will be called upon to produce more food and fibre thus increasing the stress on factors that determine productivity and sustainability (Turner, 1998; FAO, 1999). Today, the developed countries have ample food supplies to the extent of paying...
Arugula plants [Eruca sativa Mill. (Brassicaceae)] and green peach aphids, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), were used in this study to test the hypothesis that the growth of an aphid population depends on both plant and insect stress history. We investigated the impact of ...
Drought stress is a significant environmental challenge affecting global agriculture, leading to substantial reductions in crop yields and overall plant productivity. It induces a cascade of physiological and biochemical changes in plants, including reduced water uptake, stomatal closure, and alterations in...
Stress enhances the synthesis of secondary plant products: the impact of stress-related over-reduction on the accumulation of natural products. Stress enhances the synthesis of secondary plant products: the impact of stress-related over-reduction on the accumulation of natural products. Plant Cell .....
Plants release volatile organic compounds from their vegetative tissues into their environment during most of their life cycle. The functions of these volatiles are diverse and not always known but some of these volatiles repel foraging herbivores while
In living systems, environmental stress due to biotic and abiotic factors triggers the production of myriad metabolites as a potential mechanism for combating stress. Among these metabolites are the small polycationic aliphatic amine molecules - polyamin
The use of bio-stimulants in agriculture has emerged as a promising strategy to improve crop growth and yield. One type of bio-stimulant that has gained attention is microalgae extracts, which are known for their high metabolic activity, bioactive compounds, and ability to enhance plant growth ...
The Palaeozoic evolution of land plants revolutionized river geomorphology. However, the relationships between biotic forcing and channel dynamics are still debated and, as such, the impacts of anthropogenic stressors such as climate change, reduced biod
