Safety of grain and flour from perennial intermediate wheatgrass (<i>Thinopyrum intermedium</i>) as a novel food pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on grain and flour from perennial intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) (Thinopyrum intermedium) as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283.

Soil CO2 efflux dynamics in an integrated crop–livestock system

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 87, Issue 4, Page 948-962, July/August 2023., 2023
Abstract Integrated crop–livestock (ICL) systems have shown potential to provide a variety of environmental benefits including soil carbon (C) increases relative to conventional row cropping systems. However, studies documenting C dynamics of ICL systems in the northern Great Plains are lacking relative to other agroecosystems. Soil carbon dioxide (CO2)

Characterization of nutrient runoff from perennial and annual forages following broiler litter application

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 88-99, January/February 2023., 2023
Abstract Information on how forage species influence sediment and nutrient transport in runoff is required for limiting non‐point source pollution from broiler litter applications. In this study, we examined the effects of five forage species (eastern gamagrass [Tripsacum dactyloides (L.) L.], Kernza [Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R ...

Key environmental and production factors for understanding variation in switchgrass chemical attributes

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 14, Issue 7, Page 776-792, July 2022., 2022
Switchgrass is a promising feedstock for bioenergy and bioproducts. Chemical attributes were assessed for switchgrass from a field study spanning five locations and up to six harvest years. Production variables and environmental conditions occurring during the switchgrass field trials were used to successfully predict chemical attributes using linear ...

RUSSELL REVIEW Are plant roots only “in” soil or are they “of” it? Roots, soil formation and function

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 73, Issue 1, January–February 2022., 2022
Abstract Roots are near‐ubiquitous components of soils globally but have often been regarded as separate from the soil rather than a substantial factor in determining what soil is and how it functions. The start of rapid soil formation commenced about 400 million years ago with the emergence of vascular plants and the evolution of roots and associated ...

Does active plant restoration passively restore native fauna community structure and function?

Restoration Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Ecological restoration commonly emphasizes reestablishing native plant communities. Implicit in this approach is the assumption that actively restoring plant communities can passively restore structure and function of other community components like wildlife. However, this assumption is rarely tested. We evaluated how plant restoration in grasslands of

A Review on Major Rust Resistance Gene and Amino Acid Changes on Wheat (Triticum aestivum L)

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Wheat ranks first in the production and productivity of staple cereal crops in the world. Several diseases, including Stripe (Puccinia striiformis f. Sp. tritici), Black (Puccinia graminis f. Sp. tritici), and Brown (Puccinia recondita), have a major negative impact on wheat output, with 20 to 80% loss annually.
