Thrips dynamics in Allium crops: Unraveling the role of reproductive mode and weather variables in Thrips tabaci population development. by Bettina Porta, Ben Vosman, Pablo González Barrios, Richard G F Visser, Guillermo A Galván, Olga E Scholten

“…Thrips tabaci populations vary widely in genetic diversity, raising questions about the factor(s) that drive this diversity. We investigated the genetic diversity, reproductive mode, and heteroplasmy frequency in T. tabaci populations from different Allium spp fields in six locations in the Netherlands in 2021 and at two locations from the North and South of Uruguay over three years to unravel how the diversity is structured in the populations and if changes can be associated with weather variables. …”

Small-scale land use effects on plant communities in Mediterranean urban ecosystems by Vincenzo Baldi, Alessandro Bellino, Daniela Baldantoni

“…Data analysis relied on the derivation of synthetic structural and functional diversity indices, employed together with community composition and species abundances in ascertaining how land use (pathways, lawns, tree rows) and margin effect (distance from interfaces) drive the diversity of plant communities. Overall, results indicate a remarkable heterogeneity of plant communities, even at scales in the order of few meters, with land use and margin effect differentially affecting their structural and functional biodiversity. …”

Class B Gene Expression and the Modified ABC Model in Nongrass Monocots by Akira Kanno, Mutsumi Nakada, Yusuke Akita, Masayo Hirai

“…The discovery of the MADS-box genes and the study of model plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana and Antirrhinum majus have greatly improved our understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving the diversity in floral development. The class B genes, which belong to the MADS-box gene family, are important regulators of the development of petals and stamens in flowering plants. …”
