Purpose Understanding the spatial and temporal variability of crop growth and yield is fundamental to optimizing site-specific, time-sensitive crop management to improve productivity and resource use efficiency. This study assessed the spatiotemporal cotton yield patterns and their relationships with satellite-derived vegetation indices, topography, and apparent soil electrical conductivity (EC a ) across multiple sites and se...

Most herbivores are specialised on particular host plants but some are generalists that can exploit distinct hosts. Generalists may have evolved adaptive transcriptional plasticity to cope with the defences of the different hosts. However, the fundamental differences in plant‐induced transcriptional plasticity between generalists and specialists remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated transcriptional plasticity of the...

Farmed aquaculture species play an important role in regulating nutrient cycles in farming systems. Compared with nitrogen and phosphorus, the role of farmed species in the silicon (Si) cycle remains poorly understood. To help reduce this uncertainty, we clarified the sources and sinks of silicate and quantified the Si pools in an aquaculture system in Sanggou Bay (SGB). The results showed that dissolved inorganic nutrient lev...
