Abstract Agriculture depletes soil organic carbon (SOC), partly due to the exclusion of deep‐rooted perennials. Reintroducing deep‐rooted perennials to cultivated land may help to mitigate SOC loss. We quantified the effect of deep roots on SOC by comparing 8 to 30 year‐old stands of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) with paired annual row crop fields ...

A comparative study of defoliation in Holcus lantanus and Lolium perenne pastures grazed by sheep : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Agriculture at Massey University [PDF]
Objectives of this study were (i) to extend limited information on the assessment of relative defoliation of grass and legume components in mixed ryegrass/white clover and yorkshire fog/white clover pastures, (ii) to test whether the balance of ...

Influence of solar ultraviolet-B radiation in New Zealand on white clover (Trifolium repens L.), ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and pea (Pisum sativum L.) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Agricultural Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
New Zealand pasture plants have been exposed to increasing levels of ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) as a result of stratospheric ozone depletion during recent years.

Summary B‐box (BBX) proteins were initially characterized as transcription factors connecting light signaling to the regulation of flowering time and seedling photomorphogenesis. However, over the last decade, increasing evidence has shown that they integrate light and hormone signaling, modulating multiple physiological processes during plant life. In

The work outlined herein covers a series of novel herbicidal lead structures that possess a pyrrolidinyl pyrazole carboxamide scaffold as a key structural feature, carrying further substituted benzyl side chains. Based on scaffold hopping approaches from known fungicidal and herbicidal compounds and utilizing an optimized synthetic approach, a broader ...
