(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-09)Microbiomes have highly important roles for ecosystem functioning and carry out key functions that support planetary health, including nutrient cycling, climate regulation, and water filtration. Microbiomes are also ...
-
(Microbiology Society, 2023-04-21)Unprecedented insights into the biology and functions of bacteria have been and continue to be gained through studying bacterial secretion systems in isolation. This method, however, results in our understanding of the ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-08)Modelling measures of biodiversity for understudied taxa or regions is one method to address taxonomic and geographic biases in biodiversity data. However, modelling biodiversity metrics, such as species richness, to ...

Plant poaching in southern Africa is aided by taxonomy : is a return to Caput bonae spei inevitable? (Wiley, 2023-08)In recent years the poaching of, especially, succulent plants from the wild in South Africa has developed into an enormous, illegal industry, with the number of such plants confiscated increasing annually by over 250%. It ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-03)Environmental factors may shape the spatial distribution of ploidy levels. Here, we undertook a cytogeographical study of Rhodohypoxis baurii var. platypetala (Hypoxidaceae), a Drakensberg near-endemic taxon. We addressed ...
-
(Wiley, 2023-07)QUESTION : Plant–plant interactions can strongly influence community structure and composition. The outcome of these interactions can vary considerably across space and is often linked to environmental conditions, with, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-09)Progressive macular hypomelanosis (PMH) is a hypopigmented skin disorder, which is identified by the presence of hypopigmented macules on the trunk and upper extremities. It is caused by the bacteria, Cutibacterium acnes ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 2024-05)BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Little is known about the response of ground layer plant communities to fire in Miombo ecosystems, which is a global blind spot of ecological understanding. We aimed: (1) to assess the impact of three ...
-
(Hindawi, 2024-02)Soil crusting (surface sealing) is widespread and serious in ecotouristic game parks and reserves in southern Africa, and especially South Africa. In this study, mineral soil crusts were found to be the problem in the ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-06)Sclerotinia head rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a major disease limiting sunflower production in tropical and subtropical agroecological zones. Sporadic outbreaks across South Africa have resulted in major ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-08)RNA interference (RNAi) using double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) against fungal pathogens is an emerging field of crop disease control. We aimed to evaluate RNAi against the fungus Cercospora zeina causing grey leaf spot (GLS) ...
-
(NISC (Pty) Ltd and Informa UK Limited (trading as Taylor and Francis Group), 2023)Tree species providing non-timber forest products (NTFPs) have the potential to enhance the socio-economic value of forestry plantation systems and mitigate biodiversity loss associated with production landscapes in Southern ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-06)Eucalyptus scab and shoot malformation is an emerging disease and a serious threat to the global plantation forestry industry. The disease appeared in North Sumatra (Indonesia) in the early 2010s and the causal agent was ...

(American Phytopathological Society, 2024-05)Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group (AG) 3-PT is a devastating pathogenic fungus that causes several diseases in potatoes both in South Africa and globally. The removal of various fungicides from the market and strict ...
-
(Elsevier, 2023-11)Expansion of the area planted to eucalypts has been observed in the last two decades due to an improvement in markets for products from this tree species. This has raised concerns over the management of freshwater ...
-
(Pensoft Publishers, 2024-02)BACKGROUND : Incomplete species inventories for Antarctica represent a key challenge for comprehensive ecological research and conservation in the region. Additionally, data required to understand population dynamics, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2021-09)As the global desire for natural remedies derived from botanicals increases, the pressure on plant populations and biodiversity intensifies. Therefore, to conserve biodiversity as a valuable genetic and biochemical resource, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-04-30)Acid mine drainage (AMD) contains metals that have detrimental effects on crop growth if present in excess in plant-available form. The use of untreated AMD from coal mines for crop irrigation on strategically limed soils ...
