Effects of winter feeding strategies with alternative feeds on the performance of mature suckler cows and their progeny [PDF]

, 2004
The present study evaluated the effects of feeding strategies with alternative feeds on the performance of mature suckler cows and their progeny during indoor feeding and subsequent grazing.

QTL Mapping of Several Seed Quality Traits in the DH Population NPZ06 × NPZ09 (Brassica napus L.) for Marker‐Assisted Selection

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enhancing nutritional quality of oilseed rape requires deeper insight into the genetic control of seed quality traits. This study analysed the effect of varying soil phosphorus (P) levels on seed quality traits in the hybrid cultivar Architect. NIRS and laboratory methods were used to quantify total seed P and phytic acid (IP6) content.

Variation in the abundance of Rhopalosiphum padi in Finland [PDF]

, 2009
The bird cherry-oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (L.), is the major aphid pest in spring cereals in Finland. It is also the vector of Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) which is the most serious virus disease of cereals. The Finnish forecast of R.

Alleles From Crop Wild Relatives Accumulated by Long‐Term Adaptation to Low‐Input Environments Contribute to Yield Advantages in Wheat (Triticum aestivum)

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasingly variable climate conditions are affecting crop production, leading to greater yield fluctuations, which in turn are impacting global food security. Introducing alleles from regions where the expected stress conditions occur, so‐called exotic alleles, could serve as a means to mitigate these effects. We examined the value of exotic

Cereal yield and quality as affected by N availability in organic and conventional crop rotations in Denmark: a combined modeling and experimental approach [PDF]

, 2011
The effects of nitrogen (N) availability related to fertilizer type, catch crop management, and rotation composition on cereal yield and grain N were investigated in four organic and one conventional cropping systems in Denmark using the FASSET model ...

Infrared Thermal Imaging Enhanced Selection Intensity for Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Soft Winter Wheat

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Development of Fusarium head blight (FHB)‐resistant winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties relies heavily on visual scoring for large‐scale field evaluations. However, visual assessment of FHB symptoms remains a bottleneck in FHB resistance breeding due to its inherent subjectivity. At a single‐spike scale under greenhouse conditions, a

High Root Biomass FOR cereal crops increases carbon sequestration in organic Arable systems [PDF]

, 2011
In agroecosystems, soil organic carbon (C) inputs come from applied manures, plant roots and retained shoot residues. Several reasons, associated with root measurements, limit current knowledge on root C input.This study aimed at evaluating root ...

Genome‐Wide Association Study Elucidates the Genetic Architecture of Manganese Tolerance in Brassica napus

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brassica napus (canola) is a significant contributor to the world's oil production and is cultivated across continents, yet acidic soils with aluminium (Al3+) and manganese (Mn2+) toxicities limit its production. The genetic determinants underlying natural variation for acidic soil tolerance in canola are unknown and need to be determined ...

Growing oganic cereals in Northern Ireland - disease and weed problems [PDF]

, 2006
The small organic arable sector in N. Ireland could be expanded to provide winter feed for cattle. Spring barley or wheat are likely to be the most suitable crops as they are reported to have fewer weed and disease problems than winter cereals.

Greater Resistance to Drought‐Induced Embolism Is Linked to Higher Yield Maintenance in Soybean

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With increasing drought events worldwide, crop breeding must focus on drought resistance to maintain crop yields. To ensure a high level of gas exchange and growth, plants need to maintain the integrity of their vascular system under drought conditions. While the impact of drought‐induced vascular damage on tree species is well‐documented, its
