Associating interesting phenotypic traits with causal genes and elucidating the underlying gene functional relationships is of great importance to crop breeding and improvement efforts. To this end, the research presented ...

Climate change and the depletion of essential resources like phosphorus are challenging agriculture by reducing water and fertilizer availability and ultimately threatening the security of the human food supply. Knowledge ...

Salinity is one of the most serious constraints of rice production in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. Currently, recommended strategies to overcome the adverse effects of salt stress include the use of tolerant cultivars, ...

Die gravitrope Krümmungsreaktion in höheren Pflanzen als Antwort auf eine veränderte Orientierung zum gegebenen Schwerkraftvektor ist geprägt von einer asymmetrischen Verteilung des Pflanzenwuchsstoffes Auxin. Daher scheint ...

The rhizosphere serves as the boundary layer between plant roots and soil, enabling nutrient and water uptake while facilitating interactions with microorganisms through rhizodeposition. Despite its importance for plant ...

Heavy metals are ubiquitous in the environment. The sources of heavy metals are both natural and anthropogenic activities. Urban growth, coupled with increasing demand for vegetables, has led to the utilization of lowlands ......
Schwermetalle sind allgegenwärtig in der Umwelt. Die Quelle für Schwermetalle sind sowohl natürlich als auch von Menschen verursachte Aktivitäten. Das Wachstum der Städte und die damit einhergehende steigende Nachfrage ......

Herbicides are an important tool for agricultural production to control weeds, avoid soil erosion, and maintain high yields. Highly competitive weeds like Amaranthus ssp. and Sorghum halepense have to be ...

Phosphorus deficit and intermittent drought can cause high-yield reductions in rice (Oryza sativa L.) production. Large differences in tolerance of low P availability and drought resilience were found in the upland rice, ...

While the world population is increasing, the use of nitrogenous fertilizers has become obligatory to increase yields to meet the global food demand. Overuse of synthesized N fertilizers does not only negatively impact the ......

In Northern Yucatan, huge areas of abandoned sisal plantations, now assigned to the communities, require agroforestry management strategies that take into account the high spatial variability of soil, the lack of surface ...
