Differences in visitation of honeybees and bumblebees to ornamental plant varieties can be explained by floral traits by Femke Verweij, Koos Biesmeijer, Saskia Klumpers

“…One way of supporting bee populations is by enhancing urban green spaces with plants attractive to bees. Plant breeding has introduced a high degree of variability in floral traits, which can affect the attractiveness and usefulness of ornamental plants to bees. …”

Tolerance of high-yielding corn hybrids to drought stress during the early growth stage by Jiovana Kamila Vilas-Boas, Fábio Steiner, Alan Mario Zuffo, Jorge González Aguilera, Charline Zaratin Alves

“…Our results showed that root length is an important morphological trait for plant adaptation to drought stress conditions. Therefore, plant breeding programs should select corn genotypes with longer roots to develop commercial hybrids with superior performance under limited soil water availability. …”

Response of Sorghum to Cold Stress at Early Developmental Stage by Amandin Rutayisire, Geoffrey Lubadde, Alice Mukayiranga, Richard Edema

“…The goals of the study were to evaluate and identify sorghum lines with tolerance to cold temperature stress and make recommendations on varieties that may be planted in the East African highland regions or used in plant breeding programs for cold tolerance. Forty sorghum genotypes were evaluated for emergence, shoot, and root development at seedling stage under controlled environment in growth chambers and in the field. …”

Ribonuclease activity as a new prospective disease resistance marker in potato by E. A. Trifonova, S. M. Ibragimova, O. A. Volkova, V. K. Shumny, A. V. Kochetov

“…Disease resistance is an important characteristic for each variety of potato, and the search for pathogen resistance markers is one of the primary tasks of plant breeding. Higher plants possess a wide spectrum of enzymes catalyzing the hydrolysis of nucleic acids; it is believed that protection against pathogens is the most probable function of the enzymes. …”
