Boosting Crop Yields with Plant Steroids [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 2012
Plant sterols and steroid hormones, the brassinosteroids (BRs), are compounds that exert a wide range of biological activities. They are essential for plant growth, reproduction, and responses to various abiotic and biotic stresses. Given the importance of sterols and BRs in these processes, engineering their biosynthetic and signaling pathways offers ...

Methane production potential of various crop species grown in energy crop rotations

Landtechnik, 2016
The methane production potential represents an essential quality parameter of biomass if used as feedstock for biogas production. 769 harvested crop materials from crop rotations were ensiled at standardized conditions and were analyzed regarding their ...

Adapting to Climate Change Through Conservation Agriculture: A Gendered Analysis of Eastern Zambia

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
This study explored the use of conservation agriculture (CA) as a climate adaptation strategy among smallholder farmers in Eastern Zambia. Using 761 household interviews and 33 focus group discussions (FGDs) with smallholder farmers from six districts ...

Crop Yield and Price Distributional Effects on Revenue Hedging [PDF]

, 1996
The use of crop yield futures contracts is examined. The expectation being modeled here reflects that of an Illinois corn and soybeans producer at planting, of revenue realized at harvest.

Joint Modeling of Crop and Irrigation in the central United States Using the Noah‐MP Land Surface Model

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020
Representing climate‐crop interactions is critical to Earth system modeling. Despite recent progress in modeling dynamic crop growth and irrigation in land surface models (LSMs), transitioning these models from field to regional scales is still ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Whole-rotation dry matter and nitrogen grain yields from the first course of an organic farming crop rotation experiment [PDF]

, 2002
The possibilities for increasing total grain yield in organic cereal production through manipulation of crop rotation design were investigated in a field experiment on different soil types in Denmark from 1997 to 2000.

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Biochar boosts tropical but not temperate crop yields

Environmental Research Letters, 2017
Applying biochar to soil is thought to have multiple benefits, from helping mitigate climate change [ 1 , 2 ], to managing waste [ 3 ] to conserving soil [ 4 ].
