The Antioxidative effects of Picein and its neuroprotective potential: a review of the literature
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are the main cause of dementia in the elderly, having
no cure to date, as the currently available therapies focus on symptom remission. Most …

Genomic selection for resistance to spruce budworm in white spruce and relationships with growth and wood quality traits
With climate change, the pressure on tree breeding to provide varieties with improved
resilience to biotic and abiotic stress is increasing. As such, pest resistance is of high priority …

Intraspecific correlations between growth and defence vary with resource availability and differ within and among populations
A paradigm in the plant defence literature is that defending against herbivores comes at a
cost to growth, resulting in a growth–defence trade‐off. However, while there is strong …

Resource availability drives microevolutionary patterns of plant defences
X López‐Goldar, R Zas, L Sampedro - Functional Ecology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
The resource availability hypothesis (RAH) was formulated to disentangle patterns of
variation among species in plant antiherbivore defences. A novel theoretical framework was …

Continent‐wide population genomic structure and phylogeography of North America's most destructive conifer defoliator, the spruce budworm (Choristoneura …
The spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana, is presumed to be panmictic across vast
