Allocation, stress tolerance and carbon transport in plants: How does phloem physiology affect plant ecology?
(John wiley and Sons, 2015-02-01)Despite the crucial role of carbon transport in whole plant physiology and its impact on plant-environment interactions and ecosystem function, relatively little research has tried to examine how phloem physiology impacts ... -
Biological flora of New Zealand 12: Griselinia lucida, puka, akapuka, akakōpuka, shining broadleaf
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)Information on the biology and ecology of Griselinia lucida (Forst. f.) (Griseliniaceae) available through published and unpublished sources is assembled and reviewed. G. lucida is a large shrub hemiepiphyte that grows ... -
A core phyllosphere microbiome exists across distant populations of a tree species indigenous to New Zealand
(Public Library Science, 2020)The phyllosphere microbiome is increasingly recognised as an influential component of plant physiology, yet it remains unclear whether stable host-microbe associations generally exist in the phyllosphere. Leptospermum ... -
Correlates of tree species sorting along a temperature gradient in New Zealand rain forests: seedling functional traits, growth and shade tolerance
(Wiley, 2013)1. It is widely believed that species sorting on environmental gradients reflects trade-offs between competitive ability and physiological tolerance of stresses such as frost and desiccation. One specific expression of ... -
Drymatter content and fruit size affect flavour and texture of novel Actinidia deliciosa genotypes
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2010)BACKGROUND: Previous studies with commercial kiwifruit cultivars have demonstrated that the taste of fruit with higher dry matter content (DM) is more liked by consumers. A unique replicated trial of kiwifruit genotypes ...

Herbicide resistant weeds in maize in New Zealand : A survey for herbicide resistant weeds in the Bay of Plenty and Waikato
(The University of Waikato, 2022)Research on maize weeds in New Zealand is extensive, but few systematic efforts were made to catalogue weed species and determine their prevalence and abundance. Broadleaf weeds were early problems but became manageable ... -
'Hass' avocado tree water use and the effects of water stress on fruit development
(The University of Waikato, 2020)‘Hass’ avocado tree water use and the effects of water deficits on fruit development were assessed in New Zealand from 2017 to 2019. Avocado tree water use was quantified by sap flow measurement and the soil water balance ... -
The effect of deferment length on perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) in established grazing pasture and under controlled conditions
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Perennial ryegrass is the dominant sown grass species in New Zealand, however its persistence in pasture is an issue for hill country farms. Deferring the grazing of a pasture over the reproductive cycle of ryegrass may ... -
Understanding the role and impact of introduced honey bees in a submontane indigenous forest ecosystem
(The University of Waikato, 2020)New Zealand’s apiculture industry is the fastest growing in the world, expanding in agricultural landscapes, as well as in native ecosystems. While this has obvious benefits for economy and industry, the impacts on ... -
Predicting site productivity drivers for Podocarpus totara and modelling its growth with 3-PG
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Forests have been identified as key mitigation strategies to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions as they sequester and store carbon through growth. The Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and One Billion Tree (OBT) programme ...
