Reversibility of sex changes in the plant kingdom: more important than we thought?
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2199-2216, December 2025.ABSTRACT Compared to animals, plants show a wide range of reproductive strategies with different degrees of sex separation (e.g. dioecy, monoecy, hermaphroditism). While sex expression was previously thought to be genetically determined and fixed in plants, accumulating evidence suggests that sex expression can change reversibly even within one ...

Optimizing Drip-irrigation Schedule of Maize in Xinjiang Using the CERES-Maize Model
Guan'gai paishui xuebao, 2022 【Objective】 Water scarcity is the bottleneck constraining food production in Xinjiang province of China, and optimizing agricultural water usage is hence critical to developing sustainable agriculture in this region. The purpose of this paper is to propose a method to optimize drip-irrigation scheduling for mulched maize fields.
