Sweet Sorghum - an Alternative Energy Crop

2010
The energy crop sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is raising considerable interest as a source of either fermentable free sugars or lignocellulosic feedstock with the potential to produce fuel, food, feed and a variety of other products. Sweet sorghum is a C4 plant with many potential advantages, including high water, nitrogen and radiation use

Alternative Routes to Improving Photosynthesis in Field Crops

Trends in Plant Science, 2020
Photosynthesis is an important biochemical reaction that forms the basis of all food chains. Its efficiency is considered a key determinant of crop productivity. Therefore, improving photosynthetic efficiency has been a focus of intensive research. Here, we highlight simple approaches, recently reported by Chen et al.

Alternative splicing and climate-resilient crops

Trends in Genetics
Abiotic stress severely restricts plant growth and crop yield, potentially impacting food security during climate shifts. Alternative splicing (AS), a widely conserved gene regulatory mechanism tightly coupled to transcription, impacts stress responses by altering protein levels and function.

Composts as alternative to inorganic fertilization for cereal crops

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018
The use of treated organic products as fertilizers and soil amendments not only results in economic benefits for the small-scale farmer, but it also reduces pollution due to reduced nutrient run-off and N leaching. In this work, the feasibility of using composts as fertilizers and soil improvers has been evaluated at the field level, in barley and soft

Alternative crops for biodiesel feedstock.

CABI Reviews, 2009
Abstract Biodiesel, the name popularly given to fatty acid alkyl esters, has become an attractive option for the replacement of petroleum diesel ('petrodiesel'). While its overall impact on the greenhouse effect continues to be debated, other qualities of biodiesel are unquestioned.

Camelina – An Alternative Oil Crop

2017
Camelina sativa [L.] is an ancient oilseed which was grown extensively in Russia, the Middle East, Scandinavia and Europe up to the 1950’s. It produces an oil with potential as a low-input biofuels feedstock and which is known to have high levels of fatty acids beneficial for humans.

Some Alternative Forage Crops

2016
Ülkemizde hayvancılık çayır-mera hayvancılığı şeklinde yapılmaktadır. Yıllarca süregelen tek yönlü ve yanlış kullanımı sonucu bu alanlar verimliliklerini büyük ölçüde yitirmiştir. Ülkemizde tarla tarımının yem bitkileri ekiliş alanlarının da yetersiz oluşu, kaliteli kaba yem ihtiyacını karşılamaktan uzak kalmaktadır.
