Effects of Environmental Variability on the Genus Olea L. by Atayeva Leyla, Ahmadova Sariye, Nasirli Lala, Aghayeva Jamala, Zakharova Gulnar, Mammadova Vagida

“…In Azerbaijan, as well as on the Absheron Peninsula, the pressing problems of our time are climate change, emissions of harmful gases into the atmosphere, high temperatures, changes in groundwater levels, drought and suppression of local flora by introduced invasive species. Deformations of vegetative organs, developmental delays, premature transition to the generative phase, early aging, and infestation with various pests are observed in bioindication species sensitive to environmental changes. …”

Profiling bacterial communities of irrigation water and leafy green vegetables produced by small-scale farms and sold in informal settlements in South Africa by D. M. Kgoale, J. K. Gokul, S. Duvenage, E. M. Du Plessis, L. Korsten

“…Specific Enterobacteriaceae Serratia, Enterobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, Escherichia coli, Buchnera, Citrobacter, Klebsiella and Proteus were identified, in addition to unique communities associated with plant or irrigation water source. These findings suggest that the edible plant microbiome can play an important role as transient contributor to the human gut and has the potential to affect overall health.…”
