Corpus and list of keywords from Improving sustainable crop protection using population genetics concepts
<p>Corpus extracted in April 2021 from the ISI Web of Science portal (https://www.webofscience.com) with the following request: ‘Plant AND Resistan* AND Durab*’. A first corpus of 2522 articles was built considering all publication years for this extraction. This collection was then refined by categories to remove articles outwith the scope of our search (e.g. related to durable resistant materials for constructions). We also kept only articles cited at least once. The final corpus was composed of 1783 articles from 1979 to 2021:</p> <ul> <li>CORPUS_plant_resistance_durability.zip</li> </ul> <p>List of keywords used for the network presented in the article:</p> <ul> <li>keywords_list.csv</li> </ul>

Dual purpose: Predatory hoverflies pollinate strawberry crops and protect them against the strawberry aphid, Chaetospihon fragaefolii
<p>BACKGROUND: Predatory syrphids are an important functional group due to their potential for providing multiple ecosystem services. Adults feed on nectar and pollen and can be effective pollinators, while larvae are voracious predators that can reduce aphid pressure. Still, little research has addressed their potential dual function in agroecosystems. In this study, we assessed the potential of two predatory hoverflies, Eupeodes corollae and Sphaerophoria rueppellii, for delivering concurrent pollination and biological control of Chaetospihon fragaefolii in greenhouse strawberries.</p> <p>RESULTS: Both hoverfly species effectively pollinated strawberry flowers of two different varieties (‘Elsanta’ and ‘Sonsation’), resulting in an increase in high quality marketable fruits, a reduction of fruit deformities, and higher number of seeds per fruit compared to pollinator-excluded fruits. S. ruepellii had a significantly longer flower handling time than E. corollae, which translated to a more efficient pollination expressed as higher seed numbers per fruit after a single flower visit. By contrast, flowers that were open to multiple visits were more effectively pollinated by E. corollae, suggesting that E. corollae is potentially a better cross-pollinator than S. rueppellii. In addition, both hoverfly species suppressed aphid populations in strawberry (var. ‘Sonata’), with S. rueppellii and E. corollae reducing aphid populations by 49% and 62%, respectively.</p> <p>CONCLUSION: Predatory syrphids can concurrently contribute to pollination and biological control in strawberry in a greenhouse setting.</p> <p> </p>

Synergism between production and soil health through crop diversification, organic amendments and crop protection in wheat-based systems
<ol> <li class="MsoNormal"><span>One of the critical challenges in agriculture is enhancing yield without compromising its foundation, a healthy environment, and, particularly, soils. Hence, there is an urgent need to identify management practices that simultaneously support soil health and production and help achieve environmentally sound production systems.</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span>To investigate how management influences production and soil health under realistic agronomic conditions, we conducted an on-farm study involving 60 wheat fields managed conventionally, under no-till, or organically. We assessed 68 variables defining management, production, and soil health properties. We examined how management systems and individual practices describing crop diversification, fertiliser inputs, agrochemical use, and soil disturbance influenced production – quantity and quality – and soil health focusing on aspects ranging from soil organic matter over soil structure to microbial abundance and diversity.</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span>Our on-farm comparison showed marked differences between soil health and production in the current system: organic management resulted in the best overall soil health (+ 47%) but the most significant yield gap (- 34%) compared to conventional management. No-till systems were generally intermediate, exhibiting a smaller yield gap (- 17%) and only a marginally improved level of soil health (+ 5%) compared to conventional management. Yet, the overlap between management systems in production and soil health properties was considerably large.</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span>Our results further highlight the importance of soil health for productivity by revealing positive associations between crop yield and soil health properties, particularly under conventional management, whereas factors such as weed pressure were more dominant in organic systems.</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span>None of the three systems showed advantages in supporting production-soil health-based multifunctionality. In contrast, a cross-system analysis suggests that multifunctional agroecosystems could be achieved through a combination of crop diversification and organic amendments with effective crop protection.</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span><em>Synthesis and applications</em>: Our on-farm study implies that current trade-offs in managing production and soil health could be overcome through more balanced systems incorporating conventional and alternative approaches. Such multifunctionality supporting systems could unlock synergies between vital ecosystem services and help achieve productive yet environmentally sound agriculture supported by healthy soils.</span></li> </ol>
Assessment of tobacco and N. benthamiana as biofactories of irregular monoterpenes for sustainable crop protection
<p>Irregular monoterpenes are important precursors of different compounds employed in pest control such as insecticides and insect sex pheromones. Metabolically engineered plants are appealing as biofactories of such compounds, but specially as potential live biodispensers of related bioactive volatiles, which could be continuously emitted to the environment from different plant tissues. Here we assess the use of cultivated tobacco and Nicotiana benthamiana as biofactories for the irregular monoterpenes chrysanthemol and lavandulol. We evaluate the impact of high levels of constitutive metabolite production on the plant physiology and biomass, and their biosynthetic dynamics for different plant tissues and developmental stages. As an example of an active pheromone compound, we super-transformed the best lavandulol-producing tobacco line with an acetyl transferase gene to obtain a tobacco lavandulyl acetate biodispenser producing up to 0.63 mg of lavandulyl acetate per plant every day. We estimate that with these volatile emission levels, between 200 and 500 plants per hectare would be sufficient to ensure a daily emission of pheromones comparable to commercial lures. This is an important step towards plant-based sustainable solutions for pest control, and it lays the ground for further developing biofactories for other irregular monoterpenoid pheromones, whose biosynthetic genes are yet unknown.</p> <p> </p> <p>The dataset includes GC-MS data (peak areas quantified for each compound with its Qi, normalized) for all the figures and supplementary figures of the associated manuscript. Peak areas are normalized with an admixture, analyzed on the same day as the samples.</p> <p>It also includes biomass data and measurements for the analyzed plants (plant height, leaf biomass, days to flowering time).</p> <p>File S3 shows data for quantitative PCR to determine transgene copy number, and for qRT-PCR to measure transgene expression levels.</p> <p>For all datasets, statistical analysis is also included to support the conclusions showed in the graphs.</p>
