Melatonin Enhances Seed Germination and Seedling Growth of Medicago sativa Under Salinity via a Putative Melatonin Receptor MsPMTR1

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is an important forage crop, and salt stress is a major limiting factor in its yield. Melatonin (MT) is a multi-regulatory molecule in plants.

How Does Nitrogen Application Rate Affect Plant Functional Traits and Crop Growth Rate of Perennial Ryegrass-Dominated Permanent Pastures?

Agronomy, 2021
High doses of nitrogen (N) fertiliser input on permanent pastures are crucial in terms of N surplus and N losses. Quantitative analyses of the response of plant functional traits (PFT) driving crop growth rate (CGR) under low N input are lacking in ...

GrasProg: Pasture Model for Predicting Daily Pasture Growth in Intensive Grassland Production Systems in Northwest Europe

Agronomy, 2022
Knowledge about pasture growth rates is crucial for optimizing forage use efficiencies in intensively managed pasture and silage-based dairy systems, enabling optimized cutting/grazing times for high yields with high forage quality. The aim of this study

Changes of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Community and Glomalin in the Rhizosphere along the Distribution Gradient of Zonal Stipa Populations across the Arid and Semiarid Steppe

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been reported to have a wide distribution in terrestrial ecosystems and to play a vital role in ecosystem functioning and symbiosis with Stipa grasses. However, exactly how AMF communities in the rhizosphere change

Greenhouse gas emissions from fen soils used for forage production in northern Germany [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2016
A large share of peatlands in northwestern Germany is drained for agricultural purposes, thereby emitting high amounts of greenhouse gases (GHGs). In order to quantify the climatic impact of fen soils in dairy farming systems of northern Germany, GHG ...

Large-scale mRNA transfer between Haloxylon ammodendron (Chenopodiaceae) and herbaceous root holoparasite Cistanche deserticola (Orobanchaceae)

iScience, 2023
Summary: Exchanges of mRNA were shown between host and stem parasites but not root parasites. Cistanche deserticola (Orobanchaceae) is a holoparasitic herb which parasitizes on the roots of woody plant Haloxylon ammodendron (Chenopodiaceae).

Environmental Impact of Rotationally Grazed Pastures at Different Management Intensities in South Africa

Animals, 2021
Nitrogen fertilization, irrigation and concentrate feeding are important factors in rotational pasture management for dairy farms in South Africa. The extent to which these factors affect environmental efficiency is subject to current and intense debate ...
