Salinity Stress in Potato: Understanding Physiological, Biochemical and Molecular Responses
Life, 2021 Among abiotic stresses, salinity is a major global threat to agriculture, causing severe damage to crop production and productivity. Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is regarded as a future food crop by FAO to ensure food security, which is severely affected ...

Spatial and temporal predictions of soil moisture patterns and evaporative losses using TOPMODEL and the GASFLUX model for an Alaskan catchment [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 1998 By using topographic indices as derived from a Digital Terrain Models (DTM), it is possible to represent the heterogeneity within a landscape. This heterogeneity can reflect both long term evolutionary patterns seen in a landscape and the short term ...

Beyond rest and quiescence (endodormancy and ecodormancy) : A novel model for quantifying plant-environment interaction in bud dormancy release [PDF]
, 2020 Bud dormancy of plants has traditionally been explained either by physiological growth arresting conditions in the bud or by unfavourable environmental conditions, such as non-growth-promoting low air temperatures.
