Abstract:: ... Kochia [Bassia scoparia (L.) A.J. Scott] is a problematic summer-annual tumbleweed that infests cropped and noncropped areas in the Great Plains of North America. Efficient seed dispersal, prolific seed production, and abiotic stress tolerance facilitate invasiveness of kochia, while both resource-limiting and non-resource-limiting interference aid in rapid colonization of disturbed areas. Resista ...

Abstract:: ... Pollination and pest control are two major ecological functions sustaining crop yield. In insect‐pollinated crops, previous studies have revealed that an increase in resources and habitats in landscapes can increase pest control by natural enemies as well as insect pollination by pollinators. However, data have been lacking that simultaneously considers the effects of landscape on both pollinators ...

Abstract:: ... Vegetable oils are important components of the human diet, and are also actively used for industrial and cosmetic purposes and as biofuels. The scope of oil application largely depends on its composition. The fatty acid composition of oils, in its turn, is built upon the presence and activity of the enzymes of their biosynthesis. The presented review is an attempt to summarize and generalize infor ...

Abstract:: ... Condensed tannins (CT) have been observed to reduce enteric CH₄ production when added to ruminant diets. However, high concentrations of CT in forages such as sericea lespedeza (SL; Lespedeza cuneata (Dum. Cours.) G. Don) may depress nutrient digestibility. Oilseed crops, high in lipid concentration, also reduce enteric CH₄ via toxicity to methanogenic bacteria with less depression of nutrient dig ...

Abstract:: ... Acyl-CoA-binding proteins (ACBPs) bind to acyl-CoA esters and promote their interaction with other proteins, lipids and cell structures. Small class I ACBPs have been identified in different plants, such as Arabidopsis thaliana (AtACBP6), Brassica napus (BnACBP) and Oryza sativa (OsACBP1, OsACBP2, OsACBP3), and they are capable of binding to different acyl-CoA esters and phospholipids. Here we cha ...

Abstract:: ... The area under energy crops has increased tenfold over the last 10 years, and there is large consensus that the demand for energy crops will further increase rapidly to cover several millions of hectares in the near future. Information about rotational systems and effects of energy crops should be therefore given top priority. Literature is poor and fragmentary on this topic, especially about rota ...
