Global food production must increase by 50% to meet the projected demand of world’s population 2050. Meeting this difficult challenge will be made even harder if climate change melts portions Himalayan glaciers affect 25% world cereal in Asia influencing water availability. Pest and disease management has played its role doubling last 40 years, but pathogens still claim 10–16% global harvest. We consider effect on many complex biological interactions affecting pests pathogen impacts how they...

The result, at over 600 pages and 22 chapters, is book thick enough to stun an ox. Never mind width, though, what about quality? This solid text, every sense. provides useful insight into currently engaging tropical researchers, it obvious on basis these contributions that great deal interesting research has...
ABSTRACT Plants can be induced to develop enhanced resistance pathogen infection by treatment with a variety of abiotic and biotic inducers. Biotic inducers include necrotizing pathogens plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria, nonpathogens or cell wall fragments. Abiotic chemicals which act at various points in the signaling pathways involved disease resistance, as well water stress, heat shock, pH stress. Resistance these agents (resistance elicitors) is broad spectrum long lasting, but...
Although commonplace in human disease genetics, genome-wide association (GWA) studies have only relatively recently been applied to plants. Using 32 phenotypes the inbreeding crop barley, we report GWA mapping of 15 morphological traits across ∼500 cultivars genotyped with 1,536 SNPs. In contrast majority studies, observe high levels linkage disequilibrium within and between chromosomes. Despite this, analysis readily detected common alleles penetrance. To investigate potential combining...
Abstract Mixtures of genotypes are the norm in natural and seminatural ecosystems subsistence agriculture but have been replaced by pure modern to maximise profitability high‐input systems. However, crop function with respect stability yield quality particular tends be lost this process. Diversity can reintroduced into cropping systems as a trait not only confer also exploit synergies between component genotypes, compensating for potential performance losses against best performing genotype...
Summary Food security is currently considered a major global problem. However, increasing intensity of food production in agricultural systems has driven reductions farmland biodiversity. A challenge to enable biodiversity conservation whilst addressing the problem security. Here we describe how facilitative plant–plant interactions crop could be used help strike this balance. An obvious example that intercropping systems, where combinations species can – under some circumstances deliver...
Summary There is an urgent need for simple rapid screens of root traits that improve the acquisition nutrients and water. Temperate cereals produce rhizosheaths variable weight, a trait first noted on desert species sampled by T ansley over 100 yr ago. This almost certainly important in tolerance to abiotic stress. Here, we screened association genetics populations barley rhizosheath weight derived quantitative loci ( QTL s) candidate genes. We assessed whether was correlated with plant...
Abstract We review the need for increasing agricultural sustainability, how this can in part be delivered by positive biodiversity–ecosystem function (BEF) effects, role within these of plant–plant facilitation, and a better understanding may help to deliver sustainable crop (particularly arable) production systems. Major challenges facing intensive arable include overall declines biodiversity, poor soil structure health, nutrient particle run‐off, high greenhouse gas emissions, costs...
Abstract The discipline of plant pathology has an expanding remit requiring a multi-faceted, interdisciplinary approach to capture the complexity interactions for any given disease, disease complex or syndrome. This review discussed recent developments in research and identifies some key issues that, we anticipate, must be faced meet food security environmental challenges that will arise over coming decades. In meeting these issues, challenge turn is community respond by contributing wider...
This article represents some current thinking and objectives in the use of molecular markers to abiotic stress tolerance. Barley has been chosen for study as it is an important crop species, well a model genetic physiological studies. It and, because its well-studied genetics physiology, excellent candidate which devise more efficient breeding methods. Abiotic work on cultivated gene pools small grain cereals frequently shows that adaptive developmental genes are strongly associated with...
Abstract Fitzroya cupressoides (alerce, Cupressaceae) is a large and exceptionally long‐lived conifer, endemic to restricted area of southern Chile neighbouring areas Argentina. As result its high economic value, the species has been severely exploited for timber, remnant populations are fragmented often highly disturbed. The thought have undergone major range contraction during last glaciation. In order assess extent genetic variation using DNA markers within between this species, samples...
