Effects of exogenous application of five antioxidants on vigour, viability, oxidative metabolism and germination enzymes in aged cabbage and lettuce seeds
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)
Ageing induces modifications capable of compromising seed vigour and viability. This study investigated the effects of exogenous application of five antioxidants: ascorbic acid (AA), gallic acid (GA), reduced glutathione ...
How much leaf area do insects eat? A data set of insect herbivory sampled globally with a standardized protocol
(Ecological Society of America, 2021)
Herbivory is ubiquitous. Despite being a potential driver of plant distribution and performance, herbivory remains largely undocumented. Some early attempts have been made to review, globally, how much leaf area is removed ...
Exogenous antioxidants enhance seedling growth and yield of artificially aged cabbage and lettuce seeds
(MPDI, 2021)
Aged seeds exhibit compromised vigour in terms of germination, seedling emergence
and growth, but this can to some extent be alleviated by invigoration treatments before sowing.
This study aimed to investigate ageing ...
Forest canopy gaps offer a window into the future: The case of subtropical coastal forests within an urban matrix in South Africa
(INST NACIONAL INVESTIGACION TECHNOLOGIA AGRARIA ALIMENTARIA, 2021)
Alien and indigenous species emergence patterns within canopy gaps in urban subtropical forests are poorly understood.
This study compared canopy gap floristics in relation to abiotic and physical characteristics across ...
Pineapple stem-derived bromelain based priming improves pepper seed protein reserve mobilization, germination, emergence and plant growth
(Springer, 2021)
Pepper seeds are slow to germinate and emergence is often non-uniform and incomplete, reducing gains
from this cash crop. This study investigated the effects of
pineapple stem- derived protease (stem bromelain) based
priming ...
