Genetic variations in root architecture traits for water and nitrogen use efficiency in wheat and barley
(2022-11-24)The soil edaphic resources such as water and nitrogen are essential for crop production because they are required by plants for proper growth and tissue development. The global crop production is vulnerable due to rapid ... -
Aspirations, shocks, and rural poverty
(2022-11-22)Poverty remains a persistent problem in many parts of the world, especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In this region, poverty is particularly prevalent in rural areas. Further exacerbating the high levels of poverty is ... -
Consistently closing global and regional sea level budgets
(2022-11-17)Nowadays, human-induced climate change is the major driver of global and regional sea level change threatening the well-being and livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people living close to the coast. Consequently, ... -
Phenotypic analysis of different Silphium perfoliatum L. accessions and evaluation as a renewable resource for material use
(2022-11-16)Cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum L.) is a promising alternative to silage maize as an energy crop for biogas production and a potential raw material for the industry. This non-food perennial from the US possesses ... -
Effect of blossom thinning on apple quality with conventional methods and study on laser application for selective thinning
(2022-09-27)Crop-load regulation by blossom thinning has an important role to improve the fruit quality and mitigate an alternate bearing on apple fruit production. This method aims to reduce excessive flowers to regulate the final ... -
Conservation and livelihood impacts of community-based natural resource management in Namibia's Zambezi Region
(2022-09-15)Halting biodiversity loss is a major environmental challenge to humanity, which requires and motivates increasing conservation efforts. Conservation of biodiversity and ecosystems has various approaches, such as community-based ... -
Bee pollinators and pesticides: a toxicogenomics approach to illuminate the basis for selectivity and synergism
(2022-09-15)Bees are the most important pollinators in many ecosystems including agroecosystems. Reports of declining bee populations in abundance and diversity are therefore alarming. Many factors are involved in the decline of bees ... -
LiDAR-Based Semantic Perception for Autonomous Vehicles
(2022-09-08)Scene understanding is one of the fundamental building blocks that enable mobile systems to achieve autonomy. It is the process of perceiving, analyzing, and elaborating an interpretation of a 3D dynamic scene ob- served ... -
Proline mediated drought tolerance of selected barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) introgression lines and characterization of in vivo spike development
(2022-08-31)The potential yield of barley is likely to decrease in the future due to the prevalence of drought stress in many world regions. In our study, drought stress affected phenology, biomass and other growth traits, and seed ... -
Agri-food policies and Sustainable Development Goals: Quantitative food system analyses
(2022-08-23)The agricultural and food system is key to reaching several of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), foremost those on food security (SDG2), reducing waste (SDG12), combatting climate change (SDG13), and reducing ... -
Importance of supplying dairy cows with essential fatty acids (EFA) and conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) during the transition period on metabolism and health
(2022-08-04)Ketogenesis and steatosis are common sequelae of the severe mobilization of fat reserves necessary at the onset of lactation when the energy expenditures for milk and maintenance exceed the energy provided by voluntary ... -
Soil microaggregates as habitat for microorganisms
(2022-07-27)Aggregation of soil particles is one of the most characteristic features of terrestrial soils and crucial for their functionality. Despite the high relevance of soil aggregates, only little is known about their genesis and ... -
