Photosynthetic performance and sucrose metabolism in superior and inferior rice grains with overlapping growth stages under water stress

Scientific Reports
Drought stress at jointing and booting stages of plant development directly affects plant growth and productivity in rice. Jointing and booting stages may overlap in high-latitude areas where water deficits occur.

Drought Stress Classification using 3D Plant Models

, 2017
Quantification of physiological changes in plants can capture different drought mechanisms and assist in selection of tolerant varieties in a high throughput manner. In this context, an accurate 3D model of plant canopy provides a reliable representation

The Bitter Taste of Brazil's Temporary Import Ban on Robusta Coffee

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brazil, a leading Robusta coffee producer and exporter, faced a significant drought in 2016–2017, which drastically reduced production and depleted stocks. Consequently, Brazil temporarily permitted the import of one million 60‐kg bags of Robusta coffee in the spring 2017. An import ban was imposed shortly afterward due to lobbying by domestic

Fibril Structure of Desiccation‐Protective Tardigrade Protein CAHS‐8

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We present the atomic structure of the fibril formed by an intrinsically disordered protein that has been shown to be responsible for remarkable environmental stress in tardigrades. X‐ray crystallography reveals a unique mechanism of fibril assembly whereby a single helix forms a stable, antiparallel coiled‐coil dimer, which then assembles into a ...

Functional analysis of CcDREB1D promoter region from two genotypes of Coffea canephora through genetic transformation of Nicotiana tabacum : S03P08 [PDF]

, 2013
Although some studies in plant physiology resulted in a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in drought tolerance in coffee, knowledge about the metabolic and molecular changes involved in the response of the coffee plant to water deficit ...

How Competitive Is Myanmar's Rice Sector? A Comparison of Production Costs and Efficiency

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the cost competitiveness of rice production in Myanmar by examining production costs, cost efficiency, and the potential effect of improving cost efficiency on the country's global competitiveness. To achieve this, we conduct a comparative analysis of production costs among major rice‐producing countries and estimate the ...

Climate‐Smart Dairy Practices: The Role of Practice Clusters in Enhancing the Performance of Dairy Farms in Kenya

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate variability is affecting the productivity, profitability, and resilience of smallholder dairy producers in developing countries. The adoption of climate‐smart (CS) dairy practices has been promoted to mitigate these negative effects. However, while interest in dairy CS practices is growing, empirical evidence on their adoption patterns

Boosting the Nucleophilicity of the Diphenylphosphide Anion with Crown Ether Supported Heavy Alkali Metals to Facilitate Highly Efficient Catalytic Alkene Isomerisation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Here, we report a breakthrough study in catalytic alkene isomerisation using crown ether‐supported alkali metal phosphides in which the activity increases sequentially and significantly as Group One is descended with Cs(18‐crown‐6)PPh2 (1Cs) performing best.
