Effects of dwarfing genes on water use efficiency of bread wheat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Climate change has increased the risk of drought, which significantly limits plant productivity. Various ways of increasing water availability and sustaining growth of crop plants in drought-prone environments are available.

Secretopathies emerge as a new class of neurocristopathies

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic population of cells that give rise to a wide range of structures, including craniofacial cartilage and bone, peripheral neurons and glia, as well as components of the cardiac outflow tract, among others.

Identification of a novel, dominant dwarfing gene (Ddw4) and its effect on morphological traits of rye.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Shortening rye stems to improve lodging resistance is among the major tasks awaiting breeders of this cereal. The most straightforward way to achieve this goal is the implementation of a dominant dwarfing gene into high yielding cultivars.

Effects of the d2 dwarfing gene in pearl millet [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Dwarf varieties have had virtually no impact on the production of pearl millet, in contrast to the case of wheat, rice, and sorghum. This research compared tall and dwarf near-isogenic F1 hybrids to attempt to determine if there were deleterious effects ...

Comparative Analysis of Metal Preloading Technologies in Batteries and Capacitors

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Metal preloading strategies play an important role in efficient batteries and hybrid capacitors to compensate for the consumed metals at the first discharge. This article reviews recent progress in preloading technologies in lithium‐ion and other metal‐ion systems.

The projected risk of plant invasions on the peri‐Antarctic islands under climate change

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The peri‐Antarctic islands have largely been shielded from alien plant species due to low human pressure, limited introduction pathways, and local harsh climates. However, climate change is expected to lower these barriers. We assess the vulnerability of 12 peri‐Antarctic islands to invasion by 2220 plant species invasive in at least one region of the ...

DNA marker for oat dwarfing gene

open access: yes, 2004
Short and stiff straw is one of the principal aims in oat cultivar breeding. Some dwarfing genes are available for backcrossing programmes. Selection efficiency could be improved by marker assisted selection (MAS) especially when the dwarfing gene is ...

Increase in plant productivity in the tundra in Sweden is not related to increasing presence of warm‐adapted vascular plant species

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Over the past decades, Arctic and alpine biomes have warmed faster than the global average. Substantial vegetation changes have been reported as a response to this warming, including increased productivity and the spread of warm‐adapted (thermophilic) species that are less resistant to grazing pressure into higher latitudes and altitudes.

Thermal niche breadth shapes regional elevational range sizes of tropical‐like mountain stream insects: evidence for Janzen's tropical mountain passes hypothesis

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The core of Janzen's tropical mountain passes hypothesis is that relatively stable annual temperature variation limits species' thermal tolerances breadth, which, in combination with steep elevational temperature gradients, constrains the elevational distributions of these species. In addition to thermal niche breadth, elevational ranges were shaped by

GROWTH AND BEARING OF APPLE CULTIVAR ‘ELISE’ ON EIGHTEEN VEGETATIVE ROOTSTOCKS IN “V” PLANTING SYSTEM

open access: yesActa Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2011
For the intensive planting system production of apple fruit orchard, the ideal tree is one that does not grow too vigorously, presents early and constant bearing, and is able to produce high quality fruits.
