Adjuvant-induced alterations of cuticular waxes and their consequences for mechanisms of drought stress resistance
(2023-07-26)
The most important function of the cuticular waxes is the shielding of the plant from uncontrolled water loss as well as from pathogens, UV radiation and pollutants. Penetrating agrochemicals are also effectively shielded ...
Effects of nutritive antioxidants on bone during immobility
(2023-07-27)
Age and disease related inactivity in older people and inactivity during space flight and in ground-based analogs, such as 6° head-down tilt bed rest (HDBR) are associated with bone loss. This bone loss is mainly induced ...
Impact of dietary interventions on metabolism and the gut-brain axis in adults with metabolic syndrome traits
(2023-08-09)
In recent decades, the incidence of obesity and obesity-associated comorbidities such as the metabolic syndrome has exponentially increased in both developed and developing counties. It is widely accepted that inadequate ...
Dynamics of multiple elements in litter decomposition under various disturbances
(2023-09-29)
Both artificial disturbance and climate change regimes can strongly affect soil carbon (C) sequestration and nutrient dynamics through decomposition processes of above- and belowground residues in terrestrial ecosystems. ......
Sowohl künstliche Störungen als auch der Klimawandel können die Kohlenstoffsequestrierung im Boden und die Nährstoffdynamik aufgrund von Zersetzungsprozesse von Wurzel- und Blattstreu in terrestrischen Ökosystemen stark ......

Functional characterization of the maize (Zea mays L.) lateral rootless 1 gene
(2022-12-14)
All root types form lateral roots. They are critical for efficient water and nutrient uptake by increasing the absorbing surface of the root system. In the maize differentiation zone, pericycle and endodermis cells adjacent ...
Health and Welfare Implications of Climate Variability: Evidence from Rural Uganda
(2022-12-20)
Uganda has been highly affected by extreme weather events and climate change in the recent years. Weather-related disasters could potentially affect health outcomes directly, or indirectly through its deleterious effects ...
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 ...
Options to improve irrigation efficiency and productivity under rotational delivery schedule, a bottom-up approach applied at canal irrigation scheme in Pakistan
(2022-12-06)
In Punjab, Pakistan, the Warabandi principle guides the distribution of surface water over a network of canals providing farmers with limited water in proportion to land size in a fixed 7-days rotation. Current problems ...
Assessing technology transfer in the interdisciplinary research setting of the bioeconomy: A concise study using disciplinary, stakeholder and technology perspectives
(2019-11-25)
Technology transfer from academia to industry in emerging knowledge areas such as the bioeconomy is considered a major challenge. In this regard, there have been an increasing number of policy and funding initiatives (e.g. ...
Transitions towards sustainable agriculture: The case of wheat-based production systems in Egypt
(2023-12-11)
Egypt, the world's largest wheat importer, grapples with a critical challenge marked by a substantial disparity between its annual wheat production and consumption, with the latter doubling by 2050 due to a 1.94% yearly ...
