Agronomic performance of maize (Zea mays L.) breeding lines derived from a low nitrogen maize population by Kamara, A.Y., Kling, J.G., Menkir, A., Ibikunle, O.

“…Other important traits were days to silking, anthesis-silking interval, ears per plant, harvest index and vertical root-pulling resistance. Two groups containing a total of 14 S1 lines that had higher agronomic performance than others are recommended for further evaluation under severe N stress to ascertain their tolerance of low N stress before recombination to form a new population for the next cycle of selection.…”

Plant guttation provides nutrient-rich food for insects by Urbaneja-Bernat, Pablo, Tena, Alejandro, González-Cabrera, Joel, Rodríguez-Saona, César

“…Using highbush blueberries as a study system, we demonstrate that guttation droplets contain carbohydrates and proteins. Insects fromthree feeding lifestyles, a herbivore, a parasitic wasp and a predator, increased their longevity and fecundity when fed on these guttation droplets compared to those fed on control water. …”

Studies on the shootborer Hypsipyla grandella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera Pyralidae). II. Host preference of the larva by Grijpma, P., Gara, R.I.

“…It was found that H. grandella larvae also have a preference for the American Meliaceae used in the study During the course of the research, high mortality was observed in larvae that fed on T. ciliata var australis material, so a series of complementary experiments were initiated to determine if the T. ciliata var australis plant material contains any toxic substances lethal to H. grandella larvae. …”
