First, we highlight the evolution of weedy rice because it illustrates how what is often perceived as a single problematic lineage is, in fact, a polyphyletic set of lineages with a diversity of evolutionary pathways that capture the breadth of how plant pests evolve from crop ancestors.
Given that A. glabripennis completes development in over 47 different tree species [ 9] and that it feeds in the phloem and xylem before eventually making its way into the heartwood, this insect must have mechanisms to detoxify or sequester the breadth of defensive plant secondary metabolites it encounters throughout its life cycle.
This flexibility should add to the general value and breadth of use of plant volatile monitoring lures.
Clade 2A consists of proteins that have, in common with RCD1, an N terminal WWE domain, the PARP signature and a C terminal extension and are found throughout the breadth of the land plants.
If P. carbekii is provisioning nutrients to its host insect, then it would support the ability of H. halys to exploit a wide range of host plants and would explain breadth of greater than 150 host plants H. halys is known to feed upon (Bergmann et al. 2014).
Phytophagous insects vary in the taxonomic breadth of their respective host-plant range, but most still tend to use only a fraction of the plants available to them in their environment [ 1- 5].
No single special issue can cover the full breadth of topics related to plant behaviour, and this issue is no exception.
The breadth of application of the plant-based low-carbohydrate diet, however, remains to be determined, but it may provide an option for some individuals for whom LDL-C reduction is an equal concern to weight loss.
It has long been apparent that miRNAs comprise a diverse assemblage of related sequences, which vary in their phylogenetic distribution and relative breadth of conservation among various plant families, yet there remain few studies of the genesis of this pattern.
The development of plant virus vectors continues to evolve with respect to their ease and breadth of use in the field of plant-made biologics.
The second measure was designed to reflect the greater diversity in diet breadth of butterflies that feed on plants not only in several genera but also several families and even orders.
