Analysis of drought stress effect on wheat in interaction with high temperatures
(2023-09-19)
The production of wheat is greatly threatened by the global increase in heat and drought stress. The individual effects of these two stressors on different growth and yield traits of wheat have been studied, but the response ...
Validation of major QTL conferring salt stress tolerance in winter wheat
(2023-10-16)
Wheat is the third most important crop grown extensively worldwide, with global production and use estimated at 775.6 and 755.8 million tons, respectively. Despite its importance for global food security, its productivity ......
Memory of past drought stress exposure effects plant responses in subsequent generations in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(2023-11-23)
Current research suggests that plants can memorize the environments experienced by their ancestors to alter their phenotypes. Parental environmental effects have been reported for the first offspring generation, and some ...

Lignine aus Low-Input-Pflanzen: Einfluss von Biomasse, Vorbehandlung und Aufschlussparametern auf Struktur und Antioxidanz
(2023-10-31)
Lignin ist ein aromatisches Biopolymer, das in den Zellwänden von Pflanzen vorkommt. Es ist hauptsächlich aus drei sogenannten Monolignolen (p-Hydroxyphenyl (H), Guajakol (G) und Syringol (S)) aufgebaut, die über verschiedene ......
Lignin is an aromatic biopolymer found in the cell walls of plants. It is mainly composed of three so-called monolignols (p-hydroxyphenyl (H), guaiacol (G) and syringol (S)), which can be linked via various bonds, and ......
