Model-based evaluation of low-cost drip-irrigation systems and management strategies using saline water

, 2007
A drip-irrigation module was developed and included in an ecosystem model and tested on two independent datasets, spring and autumn, on field-grown tomato. Simulated soil evaporation correlated well with measurements for spring (2.62 mm d(-1) compared to

Understanding the Evidence Gaps: Diets and Fruit and Vegetable Intake Across Five Diverse Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
This perspective article synthesizes findings from scoping reviews examining diet and F&V intake, and interventions to increase F&V consumption among population groups in five countries: Benin, Fiji, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Tanzania. ABSTRACT Poor dietary quality, particularly inadequate fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake, remains a significant ...

Irrigation and phytolith formation:an experimental study

, 2011
It has been proposed that phytoliths from archaeological sites can be indicators of water availability and hence inform about past agricultural practices (Rosen and Weiner, 1994; Madella et al., 2009). Rosen and Weiner (1994) found that the number of

Evidence for a trade‐off between growth rate and xylem embolism resistance in 22 Eucalyptus species

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Examples of cross‐sectional images of branchlets at 4× and 40×. Summary Within the growth–survival trade‐off framework, embolism resistance is considered a contributor to survival, yet whether greater embolism resistance inherently limits growth remains unclear.

Gene Editing of Nicotiana benthamiana Architecture for Space‐Efficient Production of Recombinant Proteins in Closed Environments

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Indoor vertical farming (VF) offers practical advantages for the cultivation of plant protein bio‐factories including plant uniformity, product consistency, water/nutrient recycling and production cycles on a year‐round basis. Much progress has been achieved toward the development of innovative systems for artificial lighting, automated ...

Assessment of two irrigation systems on plant growth, physiological traits, tuber yield and biochemical contents of five potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) varieties grown under arid conditions

Open Agriculture
Five potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) varieties of varied maturity, Spunta and Arizona (mid-early maturity), Faluka and Kuroda (mid-late maturity), and Manitou (late maturity), were cultivated under two irrigation systems (subsurface drip and sprinkler ...

Crossability Relations of Domesticated Peas (Pisum sativum and Pisum abyssinicum) With Wild Pisum fulvum and Drought Response Assessment of P. sativum × P. fulvum Progenies

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The productivity and quality of grain crops in semiarid environments is often affected by drought, which is likely to accentuate due to predicted climate changes. Wild pea (Pisum fulvum Sibth. & Smith) accessions are known to harbour useful allelic diversity for drought responses.
