Monitoring plant-pollinator interactions is crucial for understanding the factors influencing these relationships across space and time.Traditional methods in pollination ecology are resource-intensive, while time-lapse photography offers potential for non-destructive and automated complementary techniques.However, accurate identification of pollin
Mutual maintenance of di- and triploid Pelophylax esculentus hybrids in R-E systems: results from artificial crossings experiments
Abstract Background Interspecies animal hybrids can employ clonal or hemiclonal reproduction modes where one or all parental genomes are transmitted to the progeny without recombination.Nevertheless, some interspecies hybrids retain strong connection with the parental species needed for successful reproduction.Appearance of polyploid hybrid animals
Do smallholder farmer-led seed systems have the capacity to supply good-quality, fungal-free sorghum seed?
