The Analysis of Wheat Yield Variability Based on Experimental Data from 2008–2018 to Understand the Yield Gap

Agriculture, 2021
Among European countries, Poland has the largest gap in the grain yield of winter wheat, and thus the greatest potential to reduce this yield gap. This paper aims to recognize the main reasons for winter wheat yield variability and shed the light on ...

Coarse-grained interaction potentials for polyaromatic hydrocarbons [PDF]

, 2005
Using Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT), we have studied the interaction between various polyaromatic hydrocarbon molecules. The systems range from mono-cyclic benzene up to hexabenzocoronene (hbc).

Yield Potential of Sugar Beet – Have We Hit the Ceiling?

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
The yield of sugar beet has continuously increased in the past decades. The question arises, whether this progress will continue in the future. A key factor for increasing yield potential of the crop is breeding progress.

Quantum Gravitational Corrections to the Nonrelativistic Scattering Potential of Two Masses [PDF]

, 2002
We treat general relativity as an effective field theory, obtaining the full nonanalytic component of the scattering matrix potential to one-loop order. The lowest order vertex rules for the resulting effective field theory are presented and the one-loop

Stability analysis, agronomic performance, and grain quality of elite new plant type rice lines (Oryza sativa L.) developed for tropical lowland ecosystem

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023
Rice is a major world staple food crop, and therefore breeding improved varieties is of ultimate importance. Genotype-by-environment analyses are essential to understand the potential performance of the lines over environments.

Effects of exogenous cytokinin on photosynthesis, senescence, and yield performance of inferior rice tillers grown under different nitrogen regimes

Photosynthetica, 2020
Inferior tillers contribute negligibly to rice grain yields as their late occurrence or prematurity curtails growth. However, 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA, a synthetic cytokinin) can delay tiller senescence. Our results indicate that foliar application of 6-

Rice Yield Gaps in Smallholder Systems of the Kilombero Floodplain in Tanzania

Agronomy, 2020
To meet the growing rice demand in Africa, gaps between actual and attainable yields have to be reduced. In Tanzania, this particularly concerns smallholder rain-fed production systems in the floodplains.
