The consequences of the climate and biodiversity crisis present an increasingly challenge for the agricultural sector to ensure food security for a growing world population. The optimal nutrient supply of plants is a ......
Die Ernährungssicherung einer wachsenden Weltbevölkerung wird durch die Folgen der Klima- und Biodiversitätskrise zu einer zunehmenden Herausforderung für den Agrarsektor. Eine optimale Nährstoffversorgung der Pflanzen, ......

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 ...

The food environment, typically considered the place where individuals interface with food supply, is increasingly discussed for its role and opportunity to influence diet quality of individuals. Available studies suggest ...

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 ...

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 ...

Heterosis is the phenomenon that heterozygous F₁-hybrids outperform their distinct homozygous parental inbred lines for many agronomically important traits. Despite its economic importance and utilization for ...

Edible insects including saturniid caterpillars are traditionally consumed in sub-Saharan Africa. Saturniids are utilized both as food and a source of income for rural communities. This study includes a review of available ......

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 ......

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, ...
