EVALUATING USE OF OUTLOOK INFORMATION IN GRAIN SORGHUM STORAGE DECISIONS [PDF]

open access: yes
This study examines grain sorghum storage decisions in the Texas Coastal Bend region. Decisions involving use and non-use of outlook information are compared using stochastic dominance criteria.

Latitude effect on the development of photoperiodic sensitive sorghum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Matching phenology with favourable abiotic and biotic conditions is a prerequisite for good varietal adaptation. That is particularly important in a context of climate change because the temperature increase is likely to modify the precocity of the ...

Field‐level crop choice responses to weather‐induced yield shocks in the US Corn Belt

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract As climate change increases the frequency and severity of extreme heat events, farmers are expected to face greater variability in crop yields. Using 10 million field‐level observations, this study examines how farmers in the US Corn Belt adjust corn–soybean rotation decisions in response to yield shocks largely driven by weather fluctuations.

Identifying common crop traits to address the variability in tiller production between sorghum and rice canopies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Developing a common mechanistic model to predict tiller dynamics in sorghum and rice canopies growing in favorable conditions can greatly contribute to the identification of common genetic regions involved in tiller production of both species.

Assessing Mobility Among Inferred Elites Interred in Crypts 1–3 on Kom H at Tungul (Old Dongola), Sudan

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As the capital of Makuria, Tungul was a major sociopolitical center within medieval Nubia, being the seat of a bishopric and a monastic community. During the excavation of the Kom H monastery, three burial crypts (Crypts 1–3) were uncovered.

Performance of Fall Armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda Reared on Various Horticultural Crops

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The developmental performance and reproductive success of the Australian population of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) were evaluated on five horticultural crops under laboratory conditions. Sweetcorn and bean supported rapid development, lower mortality, and higher fecundity (good performance); whereas capsicum, strawberry, and okra resulted in ...

Integrated transcriptome, GWAS, and metabolome revealed the mechanism of seed germination in sorghum

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionIn sorghum production, pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is one of the most important problems, and the primary cause of sprouting susceptibility is a low dormancy prior to crop harvest.MethodsTo cope with this situation, we conducted transcriptome,

Wealth inequality and epidemics in the Republic of Venice (1400–1800)

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This article analyses wealth inequality in the Republic of Venice during 1400–1800. The availability of a large database of homogeneous inequality measurements allows us to produce the most in‐depth study of the factors affecting inequality at the local level available thus far for any preindustrial society.
