Biostimulants with glycine betaine or kelp extract alleviate heat stress in red raspberry (Rubus idaeus) by Givemore Munashe Makonya, David R. Bryla, Michael A. Hardigan, Wendy Hoashi-Erhardt, Lisa Wasko DeVetter

“…Abstract Biostimulants are an emerging and innovative class of products that may mitigate the adverse effects of extreme heat, but research on their efficacy in fruit crops is limited. This study addressed this knowledge gap by evaluating the performance of three biostimulants, FRUIT ARMOR™, Optysil®, and KelpXpress™ [active ingredients glycine betaine, silicon, and kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum) extract, respectively] applied to three raspberry genotypes exposed to high temperatures (Tmax ≥ 35 °C/day) inside a glasshouse. …”

Frugivore Traits Predict Plant–Frugivore Interactions Using Generalized Joint Attribute Modeling by Laurel R. Yohe, Leith B. Leiser‐Miller, Zofia A. Kaliszewska, Susan R. Whitehead, Sharlene E. Santana, Liliana M. Dávalos

“…ABSTRACT Under an adaptive hypothesis, the reciprocal influence between mutualistic plants and frugivores is expected to result in suites of matching frugivore and plant traits that structure fruit consumption. Recent work has suggested fruit traits can represent adaptations to broad groups of functionally similar frugivores, but the role of frugivore traits and within‐species variation in structuring fruit consumption is less understood. …”
