Residual water deficit as one of the criteria for estimating drought resistance of maize lines and hybrids

open access: yesЗерновое хозяйство России
Agricultural drought is defined as the lack of soil moisture to ensure the growth and development of agricultural crops. The relevance of developing drought-resistant maize hybrids is increasing due to ongoing global climate change and the expansion of ...

The feasibility principle in community ecology

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The structure and function of ecological communities emerge from interactions among populations within specific environmental contexts. Yet we still lack general principles that explain how communities assemble, which patterns we should expect, and when transitions occur across diverse settings.

Identification of self-pollinated maize lines by the rates of dry matter accumulation and grain moisture-yielding ability and complex of valuable economic traits

open access: yesThe Scientific Journal Grain Crops, 2023
Topicality. For Ukrainian agricultural production, it is extremely important to obtain consistently high yields of maize grain. Development of high-yielding hybrids requires a diversity of source material, namely self-pollinated lines with the following key requirements of breeders: increased grain and seed productivity, high donor properties, genetic ...

Understanding smallholder decision‐making to increase farm tree diversity: Enablers and barriers for forest landscape restoration in Western Kenya

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Integrating diverse trees and shrubs (hereafter ‘trees’) in agricultural landscapes has emerged as a crucial nature‐based solution to the triple challenge of biodiversity loss, climate change and food security. The potential benefits of on‐farm trees for both people and nature, however, are often constrained by inadequate consideration of ...

Genetic Variation in Morphology, Seed Quality and Self-(in)Compatibility among the Inbred Lines Developed from a Population Variety in Outcrossing Yellow Mustard (Sinapis alba)

open access: yesPlants, 2012
Yellow mustard (Sinapis alba L.) has been grown as an important source of condiment for the spice trade in the world. It is an obligate outcrossing species due to its sporophytic self-incompatibility (SI).

Saplings of significance: Nurturing cultural value of new tree plantings through participatory opportunities

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Tree‐planting initiatives are a crucial part of international sustainability and climate action efforts. Yet, many of these initiatives fail to achieve their long‐term sustainability and climate goals. The role of community value is an often‐overlooked factor in promoting the success of new tree plantings.
