Mashup Score: 1Deep inside the epigenetic memories of stressed plants - 1 year(s) ago
Recent evidence sheds light on the peculiar type of plant intelligence. Plants have developed complex molecular networks that allow them to remember, choose, and make decisions depending on the stress stimulus, although they lack a nervous system. Being sessile, plants can exploit these networks to optimize their resources cost-effectively and maximize their fitness in response to multiple…

Mashup Score: 4The evolution of plant cultivation by ants - 1 year(s) ago
Outside humans, true agriculture was previously thought to be restricted to social insects farming fungus. However, obligate farming of plants by ants was recently discovered in Fiji, prompting a re-examination of plant cultivation by ants. Here, we generate a database of plant cultivation by ants, identify three main types, and show that these interactions evolved primarily for shelter rather…

Mashup Score: 0The decline of plant mineral nutrition under rising CO2: physiological and molecular aspects of a bad deal - 2 year(s) ago
The elevation of atmospheric CO2 concentration has a strong impact on the physiology of C3 plants, far beyond photosynthesis and C metabolism. In particular, it reduces the concentrations of most mineral nutrients in plant tissues, posing major threats on crop quality, nutrient cycles, and carbon sinks in terrestrial agro-ecosystems. The causes of the detrimental effect of high CO2 levels on…

Mashup Score: 1Altered cyclone–fire interactions are changing ecosystems - 2 year(s) ago
Global change is altering interactions between ecological disturbances. We review interactions between tropical cyclones and fires that affect woody biomes in many islands and coastal areas. Cyclone-induced damage to trees can increase fuel loads on the ground and dryness in the understory, which increases the likelihood, intensity, and area of subsequent fires. In forest biomes, cyclone–fire…

Mashup Score: 3Genetically modified crops support climate change mitigation - 2 year(s) ago
Genetically modified (GM) crops can help reduce agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In addition to possible decreases in production emissions, GM yield gains also mitigate land-use change and related emissions. Wider adoption of already-existing GM crops in Europe could result in a reduction equivalent to 7.5% of the total agricultural GHG emissions of Europe.

Mashup Score: 8Insect frass and exuviae to promote plant growth and health - 2 year(s) ago
Beneficial soil microorganisms can contribute to biocontrol of plant pests and diseases, induce systemic resistance (ISR) against attackers, and enhance crop yield. Using organic soil amendments has been suggested to stimulate the abundance and/or activity of beneficial indigenous microbes in the soil. Residual streams from insect farming (frass and exuviae) contain chitin and other compounds…

We should be eating more insects and using their waste to grow crops, say plant ecologists. In this @TrendsPlantSci Opinion, they argue this approach could enhance plant growth, health, pollination, and resilience. https://t.co/BWJk6QyO4O @DickeMarcel https://t.co/JyrALIF0Wx
