Conservation Agricultural Practices for Improving Crop Production and Quality

open access: yesAgronomy
Modern agriculture faces many challenges, the most important of which are the effects of climate change, soil degradation and fertility decline, pressure on water resources, and food insecurity [...]

Sunflower crop yield prediction by advanced statistical modeling using satellite-derived vegetation indices and crop phenology

open access: yesGeocarto International, 2023
Timely crop yield information is needed for agricultural land management and food security. We investigated using remote sensing data from the Earth observation mission Sentinel-2 to monitor the crop phenology and predict the crop yield of sunflowers at ...

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Crop yield prediction method based on an improved neural network

open access: yesDianzi Jishu Yingyong, 2019
Crop yield forecasting plays a decisive role in the development of national economy planned by the government. It is of great significance to rationally plan planting strategies and reduce the waste of water and fertilizer.

Observational constraint of process crop models suggests higher risks for global maize yield under climate change

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2022
Projecting future changes in crop yield usually relies on process-based crop models, but the associated uncertainties (i.e. the range between models) are often high. In this study, a Machine Learning (i.e.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Silencing of GhSHP1 hindered flowering and boll cracking in upland cotton

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
The opening of cotton bolls is an important characteristic that influences the precocity of cotton. In the field, farmers often use chemical defoliants to induce cotton leaves to fall off earlier, thus accelerating the cracking of cotton bolls.

Heavy soil drying during mid-to-late grain filling stage of the main crop to reduce yield loss of the ratoon crop in a mechanized rice ratooning system

open access: yesCrop Journal, 2022
Yield loss (YLoss) in the ratoon crop due to crushing damage to left stubble from mechanical harvesting of the main crop is a constraint for wide adoption of mechanized rice ratooning technology.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Agrivoltaics Crop Yield Modeling

open access: yesAgriVoltaics Conference Proceedings
Agrivoltaics (APV) combine agriculture and photovoltaic (PV) energy production on the same land and have the potential to provide several synergies for both production systems.
