Distributions and habitats of the two partly allopatric cryptic species of the vulnerable moss Hamatocaulis vernicosus (...
peer reviewed / The geographical distributions of the two cryptic species of the wetland moss Hamatocaulis vernicosus were mapped for western, central and northern Europe, based on identifications of the two by the nuclear ITS1 + 2 and the plastid rpl16 and trnL–trnF. The distributions of the two cryptic species overlap to a large extent. However, ...
Linking Drone and Ground-Based Liana Measurements in a Congolese Forest
...
peer reviewed / Lianas are abundant and diverse in tropical forests and impact forest dynamics. They occupy part of the canopy, forming a layer of leaves overtopping tree crowns. Yet, their interaction with trees has been mainly studied from the ground. With the emergence of drone-based sensing, very high-resolution data may be obtained on liana di...

Phytotoxicity and Plant Defence Induction by Cinnamomum cassia Essential Oil Application on Malus domestica Tree: A Mole...
peer reviewed / Essential oils (EOs) are actively investigated as an alternative to numerous synthetic biocide products. Due to their large spectra of biological activities, the impact of EOs on non-target organisms should be characterized for biopesticide development purposes. In this study the potential phytotoxicity of Cinnamomum cassia EO (CEO)...
Gabon’s green gold: a bibliographical review of thirty years of research on okoumé (Aucoumea klaineana Pierre) / L’or ve...
peer reviewed / Introduction. Aucoumea klaineana Pierre is the most harvested timber species in Central Africa and plays a key role in the economy of Gabon. This tree is considered “Vulnerable” for more than three decades by the IUCN because its population is assumed to have been reduced by at least 50% as a result of logging. The objective of this...
Reflections on the triptych of meristems that build flowering branches in tomato
peer reviewed / Branching is an important component determining crop yield. In tomato, the sympodial pattern of shoot and inflorescence branching is initiated at floral transition and involves the precise regulation of three very close meristems: i) the shoot apical meristem (SAM) that undergoes the first transition to flower meristem (FM) fate, ii...
Phylogenetics and Evolution of Potato Virus V: Another Potyvirus that Originated in the Andes.
peer reviewed / Potato virus V (PVV) causes a disease of potato (Solanum tubersosum) in South and Central America, Europe, and the Middle East. We report here the complete genomic sequences of 42 new PVV isolates from the potato's Andean domestication center in Peru and of eight historical or recent isolates from Europe. When the principal open rea...
LED Color Gradient As A New Screening Tool For Rapid Phenotyping Of Plant Responses To Light Quality
peer reviewed / Background The increasing demand for local food production is fueling high interest in the development of controlled environment agriculture. In particular, LED technology brings energy-saving advantages together with the possibility to manipulate plant phenotypes through light quality control. However, optimizing light quality is r...
