Chance events such as seed dispersal determine the potential composition of plant communities, but the eventual assemblage is determined in large part by subsequent interactions among species. Postcolonization sorting also affects the ultimate composition of communities assembled by people for restoration, horticulture, or conservation. Thus, knowledge of the mechanisms controlling interspecifi...

Abstract Several studies have investigated palm trees’ microbiota infected with red weevil (RPW) ( Rhynchophorus ferrugineus ), the major pest of trees. This study compared microbial communities and uninfected trees in Hail region, Northern Saudi Arabia, determined by high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing Illumina MiSeq. The results indicated that taxonomic diversity variation was higher for...

UNLABELLED Red Palm Weevil (RPW, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier) threatens most palm species worldwide. Until now, no studies have analyzed the gene regulatory networks of Phoenix canariensis (Chabaud) in response to RPW attacks. The aim of this study was to fill this knowledge gap. Providing this basic knowledge is very important to improve its management. RESULTS A deep transcriptome ana...

Fungal disease detection in perennial crops is a major issue in estate management and production. However, nowadays such diagnostics are long and difficult when only made from visual symptom observation, and very expensive and damaging when based on root or stem tissue chemical analysis. As an alternative, we propose in this study to evaluate the potential of hyperspectral reflectance data to h...

The constraints associated with peat use in horticulture has led to a search for alternative materials their as growing media. organic derived from palm trees (composted or not) can constitute an due ligneous and fibrous character, similar coir fiber. This work studies the feasibility of using several palm-tree-derived (Phoenix dactylifera L.) media ingredients transplant production lettuce (La...
