Functional analysis of secondary tropical dry forests in a region of the Colombia, Caribbean [PDF]
Secondary tropical forests are increasingly recognized for their role conserving biodiversity in agricultural landscapes and this role is especially important for seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF), one of the most threatened tropical forested ...

Growth and dry matter partition wheat plants in response to seed vigor and water restriction
: The quality of the seeds and the occurrence of stresses are decisive for the development of the crops. Thus, the work aimed to verify the effect of seed vigor on growth and dry weight partition of wheat plants subjected to water stress.

Genetics of Promiscuous Nodulation in Soybean: Nodule Dry Weight and Leaf Color Score [PDF]
The symbiotic relationship between the soybean plant and rhizobium results in fixation of atmospheric nitrogen (N(2)) in the root nodules, with the result that nitrogenous fertilization of the soybean is unnecessary. The effectiveness of nodule formation and N(2) fixation with rhizobial strains is under genetic control with two general categories ...

Dry weight increase of leaf disks as a measure of photosynthesis
Isolated leaf disks are illuminated under constant conditions in a specially arranged chamber and their increase in dry weight within a certain time is taken as a measure of photosynthetic intensity. The weight increment is estimated by comparing the dry weight of the illuminated disks with that of control disks sampled in the close vicinity of the ...

Seasonal variation in soil and plant water potentials in a Bolivian tropical moist and dry forest [PDF]
We determined seasonal variation in soil matric potentials (¿soil) along a topographical gradient and with soil depth in a Bolivian tropical dry (1160 mm y-1 rain) and moist forest (1580 mm y-1).

Genome-Wide Association Mapping of Hulless Barely Phenotypes in Drought Environment
Drought stress is one of the main factors restricting hulless barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var. nudum Hook. f.) yield. Genome-wide association study was performed using 269 lines of hulless barley to identify single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers ...

Environmental changes during secondary succession in a tropical dry forest in Mexico [PDF]
Vegetation and environment change mutually during secondary succession, yet the idiosyncrasies of the vegetation effect on the understorey environment are poorly understood. To test whether the successional understorey environment changes predictably and
