Quantifying the impact of deployment practices on interplant freight volatility
As the US economy recovers from the recession of 2008, demand for freight transportation is getting stronger. However, the trucking industry is not ready to take on this growth in volume due to a shortage of truck drivers. From a shipper's perspective, availability of transportation is an important …

Soybean growth and yield response to interplant competition relief in various plant density environments
… there is a lack of information regarding how interplant competition affects plant size variability, or how different sized plants respond to different plant density environments, or how plants respond to competition relief at various developmental stages. Research was conducted in Urbana, …

Role of mycorrhizal networks in dry Douglas-fir forests
… two plants, potentially providing a conduit for interplant resource transfer. Interior Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca (Beissn.) Franco) is an obligate ectomycorrhizal (EM) tree species that has high potential to form MNs with neighboring trees because of its receptivity to a …

Spatial Genetic Structure in the Mount Vernon Prairie Population of Rudbeckia Hirta
… with genetic correlation approaching zero for interplant distances over a few meters. The small patch size is possibly an indicator of the structure being very recent in origin, thorough the process of isolation by distance. The structure may be partially destroyed by the mowing of the prairie …

Identification of QTL and candidate genes for plant density tolerance in maize
… yield. This increase in plant density will cause interplant competition for nutrients, light, and water. The ability to tolerate the increased plant density will determine the plant’s ability to maintain per plant yield under conditions of increased competition. A connected population of 320 …

Within-row spacing effect on individual corn plant yield
… grain fill. Thus while reducing variability of interplant spacing would seem to offer little benefit under good growing conditions, doing so under certain stress conditions might provide a yield benefit.

Induced resistance in soybean: Studies with the Mexican bean beetle and the soybean looper
… as by mechanical injury. There seems to be no interplant transfer of inducing signals, as uninjured plants growing in the same pots as injured plants are not induced. Various induction factors were compared and the results suggest that: (1) the strength of resistance induced by mechanical …

Population genetics of South African Protea L. (Proteaceae) species associated with various pollinator guilds
… populations. The high energetic demands and interplant movements of flying animals were predicted to result in high outcrossing rates in ornithophilous and entomophilous species. Non-flying mammal-pollinated (NMP) Protea species had high (> 0.8) and non-significantly different (p > 0.05) …

Wechselwirkung zwischen Schwarzerlen und Erlenblattkäfer: Signaltransfer zwischen Bäumen und induzierte Resistenz
In dieser Arbeit wurde die Hypothese getestet, ob es eine chemische Kommunikation zwischen Pflanzen geben kann. Danach sollen geschädigte Pflanzen über flüchtige Signalstoffe Abwehrreaktionen in ungeschädigten Nachbarpflanzen induzieren und damit nicht nur sich, sondern auch ihre benachbarten …
