DEVELOPING FLEXIBLE ECONOMIC THRESHOLDS FOR PEST MANAGEMENT USING DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING [PDF]
The rice stink bug is a major pest of rice in Texas, causing quality related damage. The previous threshold used for assisting in rice stink bug spray decisions lacked flexibility in economic and production decision variables and neglected the dynamics ...

Ecological Adaptation Mechanisms Underlying Successful Plant Reproduction
During floral induction, various environmental and endogenous signals converge to regulate the florigen protein, which is transported from leaves to the SAM to initiate flowering. Within the SAM, a complex network of receptor kinases and small peptides orchestrates floral development with high spatiotemporal precision.

Natural Variation of NAR5 Determines Nitrogenase Activity and the Yield in Soybean
This study identified NAR5, a gene encoding a subtilisin‐like protease, that regulates nitrogenase activity in soybean nodules. Overexpressing NAR5 delayed nodule senescence, enhancing nitrogenase activity, yield, and low‐nitrogen tolerance. The elite haplotype NAR5HapI‐1 linked to superior nitrogenase activity and greater seed weight has been ...

An Economic Risk Analysis of No-Till Rice Management from the Landlord’s Perspective [PDF]
Rice production generally involves intensive cultivation. The profitability of no-till rice has been investigated but solely from the producer’s perspective. Most farmed cropland is owned by someone else.

Intra-annual genotypic patterns of growth and water use of irrigated rice in the Sahel [PDF]
With an increasing world population, the demand for rice as one of the most important staple crops is growing. Rice production can be increased either by intensification of existing or by exploitation of new and less favourable land resources.

Liquid Bismuth Catalyst Enables High‐CO‐Selectivity in CO2 Hydrogenation
This work introduces a dynamic liquid bismuth catalyst for efficient CO2‐to‐syngas conversion. Stabilized molten Bi nanodroplets on a defective VOx support enable a reversible Bi3+/Bi0 redox cycle at moderate temperatures. Mechanistic insights reveal that Ni‐Bi dual sites synergistically activate H2 and cleave CO2, leading to high CO selectivity ...
