Effects of Population Regulation on the Source–Sink System of Hybrid Wheat Jingmai 6
Agronomy, 2022 Hybrid wheat is considered to be one of the main ways to greatly improve the wheat yield in the future, and population construction is an important factor affecting their yield heterosis formation.

Cycas micronesica Stem Carbohydrates Decline Following Leaf and Male Cone Growth Events
Plants, 2020 The growth of synchronized leaf flushes or male cones on Cycas trees is an ephemeral event, and non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) are likely deployed from stem and root storage tissues to support their construction. The relationships among various stem

N-partitioning, nitrate reductase and glutamine synthetase activities in two contrasting varieties of maize [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2001 In order to identify useful parameters for maize genetic breeding programs aiming at a more efficient use of N, two maize varieties of contrasting N efficiency, Sol da Manhã NF (efficient) and Catetão (inefficient) were compared. Experiments were carried

Positive impacts of livestock and wild ungulate routes on functioning of dryland ecosystems
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Livestock grazing is often perceived as being detrimental to the quality and functioning of dryland ecosystems. For example, a study in a semiarid Kenyan savanna proposed that cattle form bare spaces throughout the landscape, which indicate ecosystem ...

Agronomic performance of late-season rice in South China
Plant Production Science, 2018 Improving rice yields is critical for global food security. China is a major rice-producing country having two rice cropping systems, i.e. single-season rice cropping system and a double-season system with both early- and late-season rice.
