Substantial Insect Herbivory in a South African Savanna‐Forest Mosaic: A Neglected Topic by Heveakore Maraia, Tristan Charles‐Dominique, Kyle W. Tomlinson, Ann Carla Staver, Leonardo Re Jorge, Uriel Gélin, Jitka Jancuchova‐Laskova, Legi Sam, Dawood Hattas, Inga Freiberga, Katerina Sam

“…Rates of insect herbivory also varied among plant species, declining with carbon and dry matter content but increasing with specific leaf area. Although no significant trade‐off was detected between insect and mammal herbivory, plant species with limited physical defences against mammals tended to experience high levels of insect herbivory. …”

Subsoiling before winter wheat alleviates the kernel position effect of densely grown summer maize by delaying post-silking root–shoot senescence by Lichao Zhai, Shijia Song, Lihua Zhang, Jinan Huang, Lihua Lü, Zhiqiang Dong, Yongzeng Cui, Mengjing Zheng, Wanbin Hou, Jingting Zhang, Yanrong Yao, Yanhong Cui, Xiuling Jia

“…These results indicated that SS delayed the root senescence, which is associated with the reduced soil bulk density. In addition, compared with CT, SS increased the leaf chlorophyll content from 20 days after silking to physiological maturity and the post-silking leaf area duration, and it reduced the post-silking leaf chlorophyll reduction rate and leaf area reduction rate, indicating that the post-silking leaf senescence had been alleviated. …”

Impacts of polyploidy on phenotypic expression in Musa ssp. Progenies by C. Sankar, J. Rajangam, M. Kavino, J. Auxcilia, V. Premalakshmi, C. Rajamanickam, R. V. Sundarrajan, R. Naveen

“…However, triploids registered higher bunch and finger characters whereas diploids exhibit higher stomata frequency, pollen viability, germination, more suckers per plant, shorter time to phyllochron production, earlier flowering and harvest. Therefore, maximum leaf area and photosynthesis rate per unit leaf area will increase in triploid banana hybrids also affected by ploidal level. …”
