Maximizing Forage Yields in Corn Silage Systems with Winter Grains [PDF]

, 2017
Producing sufficient high quality forage on farms is becoming difficult given current economic and environmental pressures. Farmers are looking for strategies to improve yield and quality of their own forage to reduce the financial burden of purchasing ...

Abiotic Factors and Plant Communities Shape the Distribution of Soil Pathogenic Oomycetes in Chinese Grasslands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The continental‐scale study reveals that soil phosphorus strongly predicts the richness of soil pathogenic oomycetes in Chinese grasslands, while precipitation and plant species richness drive their absolute abundance; modeling predicts ≈42% of grassland areas may face elevated oomycete disease risk under future climate scenarios, especially in typical

Foraging innovation in the guppy [PDF]

Animal Behaviour, 1999
When novel behaviour patterns spread through animal populations, typically one animal will initiate the diffusion. It is not known whether such 'innovators' are particularly creative individuals, individuals exposed to the appropriate environmental contingencies, or individuals in a particular motivational state.

Ryegrasses: An Option for an Annual Forage Crop in Alaska [PDF]

, 1984
Annuals are often planted for a forage crop in Alaska, often on land that is being renovated or on newly cleared land, thus providing a longer opportunity for worldng the soil before seeding a perennial. Oats (Avena sativa) and barley (Hordeum vulgare)

Genomic Variation Underpins Genetic Divergence and Differing Salt Resilience in Sesbania bispinosa

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sesbania, a leguminous halophyte, thrives in saline soils. Comparative genomics reveals key genomic variations—particularly chromosomal inversions—are identified as contributors to population differentiation and salt resilience. These findings advance the understanding of genomic variation driving evolution and phenotypic differentiation and offer ...

Nitrous Oxide Emission from Grazing Is Low across a Gradient of Plant Functional Diversity and Soil Conditions

Atmosphere, 2021
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from pastures can vary significantly depending on soil and environmental conditions, nitrogen (N) input, as well as the plant’s ability to take up the N. We tested the hypothesis that legume-based N sources are characterized

LivestockPlus - The sustainable intensification of forage-based agricultural systems to improve livelihoods and ecosystem services in the tropics *

, 2015
As global demand for livestock products (such as meat, milk and eggs) is expected to double by 2050, necessary increases to future production must be reconciled with negative environmental impacts that livestock cause.

Development and Breeding of Herbicide‐Resistant Sorghum for Effective Cereal‐Legume Intercropping

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identified two SbALS mutations (A93T and S624N) conferring robust herbicide resistance in sorghum, facilitating efficient weed control. Structural analysis revealed that imazamox resistance is mediated by disrupted herbicide binding. Furthermore, 126 imazamox resistant soybean varieties are screened for sorghum‐soybean intercropping ...

Assessment of the genetic diversity of cattle by marker genes of dairy productivity

Ветеринария и кормление
Absrtact. The paper presents an assessment of the genetic diversity of cattle by the genes of dairy productivity: kappa-casein (CSN3), beta-casein (CSN2), beta-casein A1A2 (CSN2 A1A2) and genes involved in the regulation of milk production: fatty acid ...

Characterization of the Core Rumen Microbiome in Cattle during Transition from Forage to Concentrate as Well as during and after an Acidotic Challenge

PLoS ONE, 2013
This study investigated the effect of diet and host on the rumen bacterial microbiome and the impact of an acidotic challenge on its composition. Using parallel pyrosequencing of the V3 hypervariable region of 16S rRNA gene, solid and liquid associated ...
