Structural injury underlying mottling in ponderosa pine needles exposed to ambient ozone concentrations in the San Bernardino Mountains near Los Angeles, California
Pierre Vollenweider,Mark E. Fenn,Terry Menard,Madeleine S. Günthardt-Goerg,Andrzej Bytnerowicz +4 more
TL;DR: The structural injuries underlying ozone symptoms in needles of ponderosa pine collected in summer 2006 from one of the most polluted sites in the San Bernardino Mountains were investigated using serial sections examined by light and electron microscopy.

Metabolite accumulation in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) fruits and runners in response to Colletotrichum nymphaeae infection
Nika Weber,Robert Veberic,Maja Mikulic-Petkovsek,Franci Stampar,D. Koron,Alenka Munda,Jerneja Jakopic +6 more
TL;DR: The pattern of phenolic accumulation in strawberry runners was altered by C. nymphaeae infection in contrast to strawberry fruits as most of identified phenols decreased as a response to the infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slow-growing Salix repens (Salicaceae) benefits from changing climate
TL;DR: Plasticity in the biomass growth and leaf flavonoids of the low and slow-growing S. repens proves it able to benefit from the changing climate change in a similar way as its fast-growing Salix relatives.
Book ChapterDOI
Chemical Signalling in the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis: Biotechnological Applications
TL;DR: Under deficient nutrient conditions, the host plant increases the production and exudation of strigolactones into the rhizosphere to promote fungal development, thus acting as a “cry for help” signal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aqueous extract from leaves of Ludwigia hyssopifolia (G. Don) Exell as potential bioherbicide
TL;DR: L. hyssopifolia has potential allelopathic activity and its leaf aqueous extract showed the highest phytotoxic activity indicating its potential as bioherbicide.
