Screening for Barley Waterlogging Tolerance in Nordic Barley Cultivars (Hordeum vulgare L.) Using Chlorophyll Fluorescence on Hydroponically-Grown Plants

Agronomy, 2013
Waterlogging can reduce crop yield by 20%–50% or more, and lack of efficient selection methods is an obstacle in plant breeding. The methods currently used are mainly indices based on germination ability in Petri dishes and leaf chlorosis in plants grown

Biochar addition coupled with nitrogen fertilization impacts on soil quality, crop productivity, and nitrogen uptake under double‐cropping system

Food and Energy Security, 2020
Biochar and inorganic fertilizer when co‐applied have been reported to increase crop yield and enhance soil fertility. However, studies on this complementary effect on soil properties and noodle rice performance in China are still scanty.

Effects of Nitrogen Levels on Cucumber Growth, Antioxidant System and Powdery Mildew Resistance

Agronomy
Nitrogen availability regulates cucumber growth, oxidative balance, and powdery mildew resistance. This study evaluated three nitrogen gradients—50% nitrogen deficiency (T1), 100% normal nitrogen supply (T2), and 150% excess nitrogen (T3)—under powdery ...

Hydrophobic MFI‐Type Zeolites via Alkali‐Cation‐Induced Defect Healing: Implications for Adsorbent and Catalyst Design

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Sub‐stoichiometric amounts of Na+ or K+ enhance defect healing during Silicalite‐1 (MFI) and TS‐1 calcination by promoting Si–O–Si annealing and healing framework vacancies. The resulting defect‐free zeolites are more hydrophobic and show improved butanol/water separation and improved activity and selectivity in the epoxidation of 1‐hexene, offering a ...

A temperature-based model of biomass accumulation in humid forests of the world

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Forests benefit humans in numerous ways. Many of these benefits are greater from forests with large trees and high biomass (i.e., above-ground biomass) than from young forests with small trees.

One-time fertilization at first flowering improves lint yield and dry matter partitioning in late planted short-season cotton

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2020
Cotton producers have substantially reduced their inputs (labor, nutrients, and management) mainly by adopting a short-season cropping management that is characterized by late sowing, high density, and reduced fertilization with one-time application at ...

Gold‐Stabilized Copper Enables Anodic Hydrogen Evolution for Ultralow‐Voltage CO‐to‐Ethylene Electrolysis

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Gold‐stabilized copper suppresses hydroxide‐driven deactivation during anodic hydrogen evolution from furfural. Pairing this low‐potential anode with CO‐to‐ethylene electroreduction enables sub‐1 V operation at 400 mA cm−2, high single‐pass CO conversion, and co‐production of ethylene, furoic acid, and a separate hydrogen stream.
