Dynamic seed zones to guide climate-smart seed sourcing for tropical dry forest restoration in Colombia
Tree-based forest landscape restoration interventions require knowledge on the suitability and origin of seed sources and planting material. A common recommendation is to select locally sourced material based on the assumption that it is well...
Heat Priming of Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) Seeds and Foliar Treatment with γ-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), Confers Protection to Reproductive Function and Yield Traits under High-Temperature Stress Environments
Gradually increasing temperatures at global and local scales are causing heat stress for cool and summer-season food legumes, such as lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.), which is highly susceptible to heat stress, especially during its reproductive...
