Live soil inocula, not host population or domestication status, is the predominant driver of growth benefits to cowpea

Population growth as a driver of initial domestication in Eastern North America

The transition to agriculture is one of the most significant events in human prehistory; yet, explaining why people initially domesticated plants and animals remains a contentious research problem in archaeology. Two competing hypotheses dominate current debates. The first draws on niche construction theory to emphasize how intentional management of wild resources should lead to domestication r...

Investigation of the mycorrhizal status of some predominant plants

Forty-one soil and root samples from the rhizosphere of some dominant plants of deserts of Semnan province (NE Iran) were collected and examined in this survey. No mycorrhizal symbiosis was found in 24% of the collected plants, while in 76% of them mycorrhizal symbiosis was detected as fungal structures in roots or AMF spores in soils. The highest degree of colonization (76%) was found near the...

Estimating risk from small inocula by using population growth parameters.

Risk from an uncertain small inoculum depends on variability of single-cell lag times. However, quantifying single-cell variability is technically challenging. It is possible to estimate this variability using population growth parameters. We demonstrate this possibility using data from literature and show a Bayesian scheme for performing this task.
