Combination of Spatial and Temporal Diversification in European Cropping Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
There is a lack of results on the advantages and limitations of combining different crop diversification strategies both in time and space, which makes it difficult for famers and advisers to find relevant information for the transition towards more ...

Hands‐on protocol for preparing water‐soluble fractions from agri‐food samples for NMR‐based metabolomics analysis

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This research protocol outlines a workflow for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)‐based metabolomics in the agri‐food sector. Using two case studies—strawberry leaves (solid matrix) and wine (liquid matrix)—it details the procedures for sample preparation, data acquisition, and processing.

Irrigation Analysis Based on Long-Term Weather Data

open access: yesAgriculture, 2016
Irrigation management is based upon delivery of water to a crop in the correct amount and time, and the crop’s water need is determined by calculating evapotranspiration (ET) using weather data.

ANANABIO: A project to design organic pineapple cropping systems through a participative approach between research and producers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
ANANABIO is a multi-partnership project (2016-2018) associating Research (CIRAD) with a technical institute (ARMEFLHOR) on Reunion Island (Indian Ocean) to design innovative practices for environmental-friendly organic pineapple cropping systems.

Mycobacterial cell division arrest and smooth‐to‐rough envelope transition using CRISPRi‐mediated genetic repression systems

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing and phenotypic exploration in nontuberculous mycobacteria. In this Research Protocol, we describe approaches to control, monitor, and quantitatively assess CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing in M. smegmatis and M. abscessus model organisms.

Innovative cropping systems to reduce N inputs and maintain wheat yields by inserting grain legumes and cover crops in southwest France [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The reduction in crop diversity and specialization of cereal-based cropping systems have led to high dependence on synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizer in many areas of the globe.

Understanding bio‐based polymers: A study of origins, properties, biodegradation and their impact on health and the environment

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review provides an overview of bio‐based polymer sources, their unique functional properties and their environmental impact, and addresses their role as sustainable alternatives. It discusses end‐of‐life options, including composting and anaerobic digestion for renewable energy.

Distributions of agrobiont lady beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) among crop and non-crop habitats within an agricultural landscape in east-central South Dakota, USA

open access: yesJournal of Entomological and Acarological Research
Alternative habitats to predominant corn and soybean fields may help to stem declines of native lady beetles in central North America, but their relative values to native lady beetles have not been directly compared. The goal of this 2-year study was to

MSD1 regulates pedicellate spikelet fertility in sorghum through the jasmonic acid pathway

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Inflorescence architecture affects crop grain yield. Here, the authors deploy whole-genome sequencing-based bulk segregant analysis to identify the causal gene of a sorghum multi-seeded (msd) mutant and suggest MSD1 regulating the fertility of the ...
