Breeding results for Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench in Moscow Province by I. N. Korotkikh, E. Yu. Babaeva, A. E. Burova

“…In the process of breeding in 2009–2016, the collection material of E. purpurea was propagated vegetatively in the field, while the breeding material was reproduced by sowing and transplanting techniques from the seeds obtained under controlled pollination conditions. In the control nursery of the 2nd–5th years of vegetation, accessions promising for breeding were studied and evaluated by comparing them with the reference (var. …”

Physiological impact of Trichoderma viride agents on the quality and production of melon that is grown on soils continuously cropped to melon by Jingyi Liu, Hua Lian, Jingwei Dou, Jingjing Li, Guangliang Zhu, Jiatong Wang, Guangshu Ma, Mei Li

“…The results showed that different amounts of T. viride agents could improve physiological and biochemical indices of melon leaves during the fruiting stage; the treatment of 6.4 × 105 CFU/g was the most effective; chlorophyll content, nitrate nitrogen content, sucrose content, reducing sugar content, free proline content, nitrate reductase (NR) activity, peroxidase (POD) activity, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of melon leaves increased at 30 days after melon pollination. Melon quality and yield was also enhanced by the use of T. viride agents, with the treatment of 6.4 × 105 CFU/g T. viride agents having the best boosting effects. …”

Évolution des systèmes de reproduction chez les plantes face aux changements globaux by Cheptou, Pierre-Olivier

“…Whereas the classical Darwinian paradigm considers evolution as a slow process, it is now accepted that populations can evolve rapidly, in a few dozen generations. Plant-pollinator relationship is a central relationship in terrestrial ecosystems and the current pollinator decline can potentially disrupt this relationship. …”

Does Consumers' Awareness Impact Their Purchase Likelihood of Neonic-Free Plants? by Hayk Khachatryan, Alicia L. Rihn

“… Neonicotinoid (neonic) pesticides have been facing intense scrutiny because of their potential role in pollinator insect population declines. Research has shown that insecticide use in general has resulted in $284 million per year in damages to honeybee and pollinator services in the United States. …”
