NAC proteins are plant transcription factors involved in biotic and abiotic stress responses, with conserved sub-domain motifs. To our knowledge, no diversity studies have been carried out at the nucleotide level of candidate ...

1. Biodiversity is an important component of natural ecosystems, with higher species richness often correlating with an increase in ecosystem productivity. Yet, this relationship varies substantially across environments, ...

Global change drivers, such as anthropogenic nutrient inputs, are increasing globally. Nutrient deposition simultaneously alters plant biodiversity, species composition and ecosystem processes like aboveground biomass ...

1. Dominance often indicates one or a few species being best suited for resource capture and retention in a given environment. Press perturbations that change availability of limiting resources can restructure competitive ...

High levels of crop species diversity are considered beneficial. However, increasing diversity might be difficult because of environmental constraints and the reliance on a few major crops for most food supply. Here we ...

Increasing crop species diversity can enhance agricultural sustainability, but the scale dependency of the processes that shape diversity and of the effects of diversity on agroecosystems is insufficiently understood. We ...

In the present chapter, we summarize the knowledge of wild and cultivated potato species, diversity, a taxonomic update including group concept classification and description, species valid names, and a complete synonymy, ...
