Genetic diversity assessed in Ethiopian highland bamboo [Oldeania alpina (K. Schum) Stapleton] populations revealed by microsatellite markers by Muhamed Adem, Oumer Abdie, Tileye Feyissa, Dereje Beyene

“…Cluster (UPGMA), PCoA, and STRUCTURE analysis did not group the populations into clearly defined genetically distinct clusters according to their geographic origins, more likely due to the reproductive biology of the species since vegetative propagation is the main means of reproduction associated with 50–100 years of flowering and low viability of seeds. Conclusions Despite limitations connected with employing only 15 SSR markers, the study suggested the presence of moderate genetic diversity within populations and highly mixed population structure resulting in very low genetic differentiation among O. alpina populations. …”

A Strategic Management Approach to Reduce Pepper Weevil Damage to Jalapeño Pepper Plants with Conventional and Biorational Insecticides by Naga Mani Kanchupati, Dakshina R. Seal, Bruce Schaffer, Oscar E. Liburd

“…Isocycloseram starting at bloom and rotated with azadirachtin + pyrethrins as well as isocycloseram rotated with azadirachtin + pyrethrins and thiamethoxam on a weekly basis had the lowest number of pepper weevil-infested buds, flowers, and fruits and higher marketable yield. These findings suggest that adopting foliar applications weekly or every two weeks starting at bloom, as well as the rotation of thiamethoxam and isocycloseram with biorational insecticides, can effectively reduce pepper weevil infestation and increase pepper yield.…”

Trade-off strategies between growth and defense of spring ephemeral plants in early spring by Liben Pan, Liben Pan, Tianqi Wang, Tianqi Wang, Vladimir L. Gavrikov, Xiaorui Guo, Xiaorui Guo, Liqiang Mu, Zhonghua Tang, Zhonghua Tang

“…IntroductionSpring ephemeral plants represent a unique ecological category of herbaceous plants, characterized by early blooming and vivid flowers with significant ornamental value. Understanding the adaptive strategies of spring ephemerals is crucial for the introduction and cultivation of early spring plants, as well as for optimizing light energy utilization and nutrient cycling within ecosystems.MethodsWe evaluated 26 functional traits across four spring ephemerals and four spring non-ephemeral plants along an elevation gradient. …”
