with non-native invasive species is considered a major threat to many rare native species. As such, invasives removals are a common management strategy. Rare native species that interact uniquely with other organisms in their community (e.g., hemiparasitic plants) may be adversely affected by removing invasives. A management plan for a regionally rare hemiparasitic plant in Massachusetts, Pedicularis lanceolata Michx., identified invasives as a threat, but more quantitative evidence is needed to determine how P. lanceolata‟s persistence is influenced by its co-occurrence with native or invasive hosts. This research asks how P. lanceolata is affected by growth with native versus invasive …

Iron is one of the most important micronutrients used by living organisms. Iron is frequently a limiting nutrient for plant growth, and plants are a major source of iron for human nutrition. The most prominent symptom of iron deficiency in plants is interveinal chlorosis, or yellowing between the veins, which appears first in the youngest leaves. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the number one human nutritional deficiency worldwide. In order to solve the problem of iron deficiency, it is desirable to breed plants that have increased iron in those parts that are consumed by humans. To do this, we must …
