Title

Effect of Asynchronous Light and Temperature Fluctuations on Plant Traits in Indoor Growth Facilities

Camilo Chiang; Daniel Bånkestad; Günter Hoch Agronomy 2021. doi:10.3390/agronomy11040755

Other claims from this paper (5)

Intervention effect Light fluctuations increased specific leaf area and chlorophyll a concentration.
Intervention effect Light fluctuations reduced total dry weight and chlorophyll a/b ratio.
Intervention effect Fixed light combined with variable temperature lowered Fv/Fm, Amax, and CO2 yield.
Observation Plant traits differed significantly between the field trial and phytotron treatments.
Recommendation Synchronous environmental variation was suggested to produce more natural-like plant growth than fixed or asynchronous factors.

Precipitation timing and soil substrate drive phenology and fitness of Arabidopsis thaliana in a Mediterranean environment

Alejandra Martínez‐Berdeja; Miki Okada; Martha D. Cooper; et al. Functional Ecology 2023. doi:10.1111/1365-2435.14391

Other claims from this paper (11)

Intervention effect Germination phenology tracked rainfall onset.
Intervention effect Germination was slower and more variable on sand than on soil.
Observation Many seeds dispersed on sand in spring and summer delayed germination until the cooler autumn.
Intervention effect The high-dormancy DOG1 allele prevented immediate germination in spring and summer.
Intervention effect Germination timing strongly affected plant fitness.
Intervention effect Fecundity was highest in the October germination cohort.
Intervention effect Fecundity declined in spring germinants.
Intervention effect The late flowering FRI allele had lower fecundity, especially in early fall and spring cohorts.
Intervention effect Projections indicate later onset of autumn rains will negatively affect population fitness.
Observation Projections indicate seasonal selection favours high-dormancy and early flowering genotypes in a Mediterranean climate.
Intervention effect The high-dormancy DOG1 allele resulted in higher projected population fitness.

Euphorbia heterophylla:a Review of Distribution, Importance and Control

A. K. Wilson Tropical Pest Management 1981. doi:10.1080/09670878109414169

Other claims from this paper (13)

Observation Euphorbia heterophylla is widespread in the tropics.
Observation It is a major weed in six tropical countries.
Observation It is an important weed in 22 tropical countries.
Observation It is present in a further 37 countries.
Mechanism The weed causes serious crop yield and quality loss through rapid growth and canopy formation.
Mechanism Dormancy supports persistence of soil seed reservoirs.
Association Light and temperature affect germination.
Intervention effect Pre-emergence herbicides do not control the weed for a whole growing season.
Association Larger weeds are harder to control with post-emergence herbicides.
Intervention effect Phenoxy-type herbicides generally give effective control.
Intervention effect Acetanilides and anilines give poor control.
Intervention effect Some herbicide mixtures suppress the weed long enough for crop establishment and limit yield loss.
Intervention effect A season-long herbicide sequence has provided the best control.
