Weed Emergence in a Soil with Cover Crops in an Agroecological No-Tillage System [PDF]

Planta Daninha, 2018
: The cultivation and deposition of cover crops residues on the soil surface can reduce weed emergence. The objective of this study was to evaluate the emergence of weeds, in a greenhouse, on a soil with cover crops in an agroecological no-tillage system.

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Impact of variety and environmental factors on proteolytic quality parameters of selected malting barley varieties

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is a major cereal crop, essential for global food processing and brewing. Malting barley represents less than one‐fifth of global barley output due to strict quality requirements, such as total protein content, enzymatic activity, and kernel homogeneity, which directly influence malting performance and ...

Wheat Sowing Practices in No‐Tillage Systems Modify the Microrelief and Hydrosedimentological Attributes: RPAS‐Based Photogrammetry

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The microtopographic characteristics of terrain are modified by soil management and conservation practices, affecting water infiltration, storage, runoff generation, and sediment transport. However, assessing soil microtopography at representative spatial scales remains challenging and time‐consuming.

Native Perennial Vegetation Buffer Strips Improve Structural Indicators of Riparian Protection in Mediterranean Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riparian zones in Mediterranean agroecosystems are highly vulnerable to degradation because cultivation often reaches stream edges and annual vegetation senesces during the late‐summer dry period, leaving soils exposed when the first erosive autumn rains occur.

Leaf micromorphology and genetic diversity analysis of Iranian Hordeum species using ISSR and SCoT markers

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The genus Hordeum (Poaceae), of the tribe Triticeae, comprises approximately 32 species with substantial potential for barley improvement. Hordeum vulgare is an economically important cereal widely cultivated across diverse environments, from the Arctic to desert and humid regions.

Climate change reshapes the global distribution of wild barley relatives: integrating life-history traits and ecological niche modeling

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionWild Hordeum species are crucial genetic resources for climate‑resilient crop breeding. Clarifying their responses to climate change is essential for germplasm conservation and sustainable crop improvement.

Barley HvBODYGUARD1 controls cuticular specialisations regulated by SHINE transcription factors. [PDF]

New Phytol
Cuticle defects result from defective HvBDG1 alleles. Summary Land plants secrete a protective outer cuticular layer with diverse functions. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) develops two cuticular specialisations: the β‐diketone rich wax bloom on vegetative tissues and an adherent grain surface which sticks to the hulls, leading to barley's distinctive ...

Feast or famine: How food deserts, wealth and greenspace correlate with coyote diets in Seattle, Washington

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban environments create unique challenges for wildlife, where dietary habits may reflect both ecological heterogeneity and societal disparities. In this study, we explored how social factors such as household income and human population density, and ecological factors such as tree canopy correlate with coyote (Canis latrans) diets in Seattle,

Use of Cattle Manure as Auxiliary Material to Gypsum to Ameliorate Saline–Alkali Soils

Agronomy
Soil salinization is a major threat to agriculture and food security globally. The effectiveness of amendments on soil quality and crop production is management-dependent, and low-cost management practices are essential for developing countries.
