Two studies were performed to establish the best defoliation frequency in Brachiaria decumbens using the number of leaves per tiller as a criterion. In the first study, 3,500 tillers with 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 leaves were collected in 10 farms.

Revisiting the role of delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase in drought-tolerant crop breeding
The delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) gene exercises a protective function in stressed plants. However, the relationship between proline accumulation caused by P5CS and abiotic stress tolerance in plants is not always clear, as P5CS ...

Unprecedented Scissor Effect of Macromolecular Cross-linkers on the Glass Transition Temperature of Poly(N-vinylimidazole), Crystallinity Suppression of Poly(tetrahydrofuran) and Molecular Mobility by Solid State NMR in Poly(N-vinylimidazole)-l-poly(tetrahydrofuran) Conetworks [PDF]
Unexpected correlations have been found between structural parameters and glass transition temperatures (Tg) of poly(N-vinylimidazole) (PVIm) and crystallinity of poly(tetrahydrofuran) (PTHF) in a series of novel, unique PVIm-l-PTHF amphiphilic ...

Effect of elevated CO2 and high temperature on seed-set and grain quality of rice [PDF]
Hybrid vigour may help overcome the negative effects of climate change in rice. A popular rice hybrid (IR75217H), a heat-tolerant check (N22), and a mega-variety (IR64) were tested for tolerance of seed-set and grain quality to high-temperature stress at

Corn yield components can be stabilized via tillering in sub-optimal plant densities
IntroductionCrop plasticity is fundamental to sustainability discussions in production agriculture. Modern corn (Zea mays L.) genetics can compensate yield determinants to a small degree, but plasticity mechanisms have been masked by breeder selection ...

Measuring Tiller Development and Mortality in Winter Wheat under Field Conditions
Core Ideas Seeding rate is important for measuring phyllochron interval and maximum number leaf. As seeding rate increases, phyllochron interval increases; as seeding rate increases, maximum leaf number decreases.
