MicroRNA 399 as a potential integrator of photo-response, phosphate homeostasis, and sucrose signaling under long day condition

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Photoperiod-sensitivity is a critical endogenous regulatory mechanism for plant growth and development under specific environmental conditions, while phosphate and sucrose signaling processes play key roles in cell growth and organ initiation.

Pathogenic Escherichia coli Virulome in Top Soil Improvers and Irrigation Waters Devoted to Leafy Vegetable Production: Hazard Assessment From a Case Study in Italy

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Escherichia coli pathotype virulotyping to assess if combined top soil improver and water inputs would potentially lead to hybrid strains with shuffled virulence features in ready‐to‐eat vegetables. This is to support the transition toward safe and sustainable food production systems.

Selection of meadow fescue for persistence under frequent defoliation

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Meadow fescue was adapted to management intensive grazing in humid temperate regions. It does not tolerate highly intensive grazing with short rest periods or residual sward heights below 5 cm. This paper documents genetic progress in selecting for improved tolerance to frequent and close grazing.

Dual‐pronged genome engineering: Enhancing crop resistance through elite allele pyramiding and susceptibility gene editing

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Developing durable crop disease resistance remains a primary breeding objective, achievable through pyramiding resistance genes and editing susceptibility (S) genes. A recent study identified 10 stable Verticillium wilt resistance genes and eight negative regulators via integrated genome‐wide association studies and transcriptome‐wide association ...

Uncertain multi‐objective programming approach for planning supplementary irrigation areas in rainfed agricultural regions

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
Abstract Rainfed agriculture is crucial for ensuring global food and water security, and supplementary irrigation is an effective means of improving the economic benefits in rainfed agricultural regions. This study proposes a novel uncertain optimization approach to optimize supplementary irrigation areas in rainfed agricultural regions.

Modelling of Cowpea Response to Varying Irrigation and SAP Levels Under Greenhouse Conditions Using AquaCrop

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Irrigation water management is key to promoting resilient crop production amidst the increasing effects of climate change. Super absorbent polymer (SAP) is an innovative technology for conserving irrigation water within arid and semi‐arid lands (ASALs). AquaCrop, a water productivity model, has been used for irrigation water management.

Explainability of Sub-Field Level Crop Yield Prediction using Remote Sensing [PDF]

arXiv
Crop yield forecasting plays a significant role in addressing growing concerns about food security and guiding decision-making for policymakers and farmers. When deep learning is employed, understanding the learning and decision-making processes of the models, as well as their interaction with the input data, is crucial for establishing trust in the ...

A Novel Approach as a Smart Irrigation Decision Support and Management System Providing Environmental Optimization in Sustainable Irrigation Management: ENORASIS

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ENORASIS has been developed as a real‐time smart irrigation decision support and management system consisting of weather forecasting systems based on satellite observations, irrigation optimization techniques and wireless sensor networks. This study revealed that irrigation could be managed with ENORASIS without a significant decrease in ...

Deficit Irrigation and Soil Amendment as Drought Adaptation Strategies: Water Use Efficiency in Pot Experiments With Wheat

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amidst climate change and recurring droughts, increasing irrigation water amount and frequency alone is not a definitive solution to address water scarcity in agricultural crop production, particularly in soils with poor water retention capacity. This study evaluated the effects of two drought adaptation strategies (deficit irrigation and soil
