Review of soil tillage history and new challenges in Hungary

Hungarian Geographical Bulletin, 2017
This study provides an overview of the development of soil tillage in Hungary. The primary goal is to present factors that have been promoting and hindering progress in tillage from the first authoritative records – from the eleventh century – up to now ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

The spatial variability of mineral nitrogen content in topsoil and subsoil

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2004
Spatial variability of soil mineral nitrogen Nmin (N-NH4+, N-NO3-) in a soil profile down to 60 cm was determined in a 19-ha experimental field in Prague-Ruzyně for four years.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

The influence of the type of storage on pest infestation of stored grain in the Czech Republic

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2003
Stored-product pests cause high economic losses by feeding on stored grain and endanger the public health by contamination of food by allergens. Therefore, the aim of this work was to explore whether the risk of infestation of stored grain by pests is ...

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Geosensors to Support Crop Production: Current Applications and User Requirements [PDF]

, 2011
Sensor technology, which benefits from high temporal measuring resolution, real-time data transfer and high spatial resolution of sensor data that shows in-field variations, has the potential to provide added value for crop production.

Effects of Winter Cover Crop Mixture and Termination on the Performance and Physiology of cv. Barbera (Vitis vinifera L.) Grapevines

Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research
The adoption of winter cover crops (CCs), to be terminated in spring, is gaining popularity in temperate climate viticulture. We evaluated the effects of two novel termination practices—interrow rolling (R) and subrow mulching (SRM)—on vine performance ...

Abiotic Stress in Crop Production

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
The vast majority of agricultural land undergoes abiotic stress that can significantly reduce agricultural yields. Understanding the mechanisms of plant defenses against stresses and putting this knowledge into practice is, therefore, an integral part of sustainable agriculture.
