Breeding of comb-wheatgrass (Agropyron pectiniforme Roem. et Schult.) for arid conditions of the steppe zone [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 In the context of the progressive trend of climate aridization of the main agricultural regions in the forest-steppe and steppe zones, the problem of increasing and stabilizing the high productivity of forage crops is becoming more acute.

A global meta-analysis of the effects of plant diversity on biomass partitioning in grasslands
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 The partitioning of belowground biomass (BGB) to aboveground biomass (AGB) is commonly described as the root-to-shoot ratio (R/S). Although a number of studies have shown that biodiversity can influence AGB and BGB in grasslands at the local and global ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998 For the most part, studies of grass genome structure have been limited to the generation of whole-genome genetic maps or the fine structure and sequence analysis of single genes or gene clusters. We have investigated large contiguous segments of the genomes of maize, sorghum, and rice, primarily focusing on intergenic spaces.

Current Biology, 2007 SummaryA new study finds that raised atmospheric carbon dioxide in an experimental plot of Colorado grassland does not affect species diversity but provides a great boost to the shrub species. Nigel Williams reports.

PlantsPhosphorus (P) is a key nutrient limiting crop growth and productivity, particularly in saline-alkali soils with low P availability. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have the potential to enhance P uptake in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.); however, the ...

Experimental Characterization of Mycelium‐Based Composites Under Multiple Loading Conditions
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study examines the mechanical response of mycelium‐based composites under compression, shear, and tension using mechanical testing and imaging methods. The comparison between unpressed and hot‐pressed specimens shows that hot pressing is associated with higher compression and shear stiffnesses.
