Winter Survival of Grasses and Legumes in Subarctic Alaska as Related to Latitudinal Adaptation, Pre-Winter Storage of Food Reserves, and Dry-Matter Concentration in Overwintering Tissues [PDF]

, 1993
similar experiments, were to (a) compare winter hardiness in subarctic Alaska of numerous plant species and ecotypes from various latitudinal sources within most species, and (b) seek a better understanding of certain aspects of pre-winter ...

Underutilised crops in Europe: An interdisciplinary approach towards sustainable practices

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract In the context of a rapidly growing global population and significant climatic and environmental change, there is an urgent need to produce nutritious food in a sustainable manner. Some crops are underutilised in Europe, despite their suitability to local environments, viability for sustainable production and potential to improve diets.

Preliminary evaluation of perennial forage legumes for organic farming in Finland [PDF]

, 2003
In 1998-2001 fourteen forage legume species were evaluated for their productivity in mixed organic swards. The aim was to find new alternatives for red clover. Medicago falcata produced the highest dry matter yield (about 11 000 kg/ha/year).

RNA‐Seq analysis revealed differentially expressed genes linked to seed size variation in sainfoin

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Sainfoin is a perennial forage legume with many desirable characteristics such as easy to establish, bloat‐free trait for grazing ruminants and providing pollinator habitat and biological nitrogen fixation to soil. However, adoption of this species is often hindered by high seed cost associated with its larger seed size compared to other ...

A Highly Conserved SNARE‐Associated Protein Enhances Plant Immunity by Regulating Vesicle Trafficking

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The plant endomembrane system and vesicle trafficking are central to plant immunity, mediating the targeted delivery and recycling of defence molecules during pathogen attack. Here, we investigated the functional role of soybean Vacuole Membrane Protein 1 (GmVMP1) in mediating resistance against soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines).

Improving competitive ability of chickpea with sowthistle [PDF]

, 2005
An experiment was conducted to examine the extent of root and canopy interference of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) with sowthistle (Sonchus oleraceus L.). Sowthistle was surrounded with either two or eight chickpea plants.

A Vertical Stacking Approach to Rapid Generation Cycling for Indoor Growth of Tall Annual Crops—The Case of Vicia faba L.

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accelerating breeding cycles through rapid generation turnover is a demonstrated strategy to improve the rate of genetic gain in a range of staple crops. This study presents a vertically stacked accelerated single‐seed descent (aSSD) protocol for faba bean (Vicia faba L.), aimed at rapid generation cycling while ensuring robust plant ...

CRISPR/Cas‐Mediated Gene Editing in Plant Immunity and Its Potential for the Future Development of Fungal, Oomycete, and Bacterial Pathogen‐Resistant Pulse Crops

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.
