Evaluation of the Land Equivalent Ratio index in barley-pea and bread wheat-faba bean intercropping.
The Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) is a very useful index to let farmers understand the advantages of intercropping vs pure crops. In 2018 the LERs of barley-pea and bread wheat-faba bean intercropping were evaluated.

Structural and functional characterisation of a reconstructed ancestral strigolactone receptor
Significance Statement Ancestral sequence reconstruction of the strigolactone receptor DWARF14 (D14) reveals that its substrate specificity and signalling mechanism have remained largely conserved in seed plants. Ancestral D14 exhibits improved recombinant yields, thermostability and catalytic activity relative to D14 from Arabidopsis thaliana ...

Adaptive Responses of Tropical Crops: A Multi‐Scale Omics Integrated Perspective
Tropical crops integrate genomic, morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations to thrive under extreme and variable environments. This review highlights how natural selection, domestication, and breeding shape stress resilience, resource‐use strategies, and productivity in sugarcane, banana, cassava, rubber and oil palm, offering new routes

The concept of a 'land equivalent ratio' and advantages in yields from intercropping [PDF]
Criteria for evaluating different intercropping situations are suggested, and the land equivalent ration (LER) concept is considered for sutuations where intercropping has to be compared with growing each crop in pure stand.

Food, Energy, and Health Implications of Agrivoltaic Farms
Abstract The benefits of agrivoltaics (AV) are documented, with empirical evidence for their suitability for collocated energy generation, crop cultivation, and water savings, even for staple crops. What is lacking is a holistic modeling framework to design and optimize AV systems for specific crop types, micro‐environments, and panel configurations ...

Indirect DNA Readout by an H-NS Related Protein: Structure of the DNA Complex of the C-Terminal Domain of Ler [PDF]
Ler, a member of the H-NS protein family, is the master regulator of the LEE pathogenicity island in virulent Escherichia coli strains. Here, we determined the structure of a complex between the DNA-binding domain of Ler (CT-Ler) and a 15-mer DNA duplex.

Implementation of the Deep Blue Aerosol Algorithm on Geostationary Satellite Data
Abstract National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Deep Blue (DB) aerosol project aims to produce consistent, long‐term climate data records of atmospheric aerosol properties using satellite observations. The DB algorithm has been extensively applied to low Earth orbit (LEO) sensors, including the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer and
