Comprehensive genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes reveal 14,637 genes in Listronotus oregonensis, advancing genetic insights into a key agricultural pest. Compared with related species, L. oregonensis exhibits reduced chemoreceptor gene families but expanded detoxification gene clusters, reflecting its narrow host range and adaptability.

The growth and yield of maize (Zea mays L.) and soyabeans (Glycine max. (L) Merrill) grown as intercrops : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Plant Science at Massey University [PDF]
The effect of plant population maize (Zea mays L.) cultivar (Pioneer 3901) and AMT and Matara cultivars of soyabeans (Glucine max (L) Merill) grown together in an intercropping system was studied.

Expression of Cowpea Mosaic Virus M RNA in Cowpea Protoplasts
Summary Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) M RNA is translated in vitro into two polyproteins of M r values 105000 (105K) and 95K. Using antiserum against the small capsid protein VP23, these proteins have now been detected in cowpea protoplasts, a few hours after inoculation with CPMV.

Drivers of strigolactone diversity: P450s in strigolactone biosynthesis
This review summarizes the discovery and functional identification of cytochrome P450 in strigolactone biosynthesis, classifies and summarizes the members discovered so far, clarifies their biological significance, discusses the technology of strigolactone synthesis research, and finally describes some problems in strigolactone research and potential ...

Installment 2 of "Creating a Sustainable Food Future": Reducing Food Loss and Waste [PDF]
Approximately one out of every four calories grown to feed people is not ultimately consumed by humans. Food is lost and wasted to a varying extent across the globe, across all stages of the food value chain, and across all types of food.

Synchronization of Cowpea Chlorotic Mottle Virus Replication in Cowpea Leaves
A technique that 'systemically inoculates' cowpea leaves with cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) is described. The upper leaves of cowpea plants are maintained at 10 degrees and allowed to become infected with inoculum from lower leaves maintained at 32 degrees; when the whole plant is shifted to 25 degrees, synchronous virus replication starts in ...

Leaf gas exchange measurement for steady‐state stomatal conductance model calibration
Summary Stomatal conductance models are essential components of crop and land surface models, but collecting data to calibrate them remains challenging due to large leaf‐to‐leaf variability, slow stomatal kinetics, and a lack of consistent measurement protocols, leading to unknown reliability and representativeness of calibrated model parameter ...

ABSTRACT A key challenge for the genetic improvement of canola (Brassica napus), one of the world's most important oilseeds, is the limited natural variation for commercially important traits. The creation of new variation is hindered by the lack of functional knowledge about genes controlling these traits.
