Fungicide Application Affects Nitrogen Utilization Efficiency, Grain Yield, and Quality of Winter Wheat

Agronomy, 2021
Nitrogen (N) is a vital component of crop production. Wheat yield varies significantly under different soil available N. Knowing how wheat responds to or interacts with N to produce grains is essential in the selection of N use efficient cultivars.

Two-Year Survey of Botrytis Fruit Rot Levels in Commercial Strawberry Fields in California with and without Fungicide Applications

International Journal of Fruit Science
Botrytis fruit rot (BFR) causes significant losses in-field and postharvest in strawberries and is mainly managed by fungicides. Strategically applying fungicides only during wet and cool periods would reduce fungicide resistance development and grower ...

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.
