Metabolic and endocrine functions of dairy cows under non- optimal body condition (underconditioned or over-conditioned) exhibit marked abnormalities that result in a significant decrease in milk production. Underconditioned ...

The microbes living in and in close proximity to plant roots are subject to host-driven selection and can confer substantial benefits to the plant such as growth promotion and stress tolerance. Studying this root-associated ...

Many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are undergoing a nutrition transition, where diets are shifting from traditional staples to energy-dense processed foods, often contributing to poor nutrition outcomes, including ...

Boron is an essential micronutrient for plants. In planta, boron predominantly resides in the primary cell wall, crosslinking the pectic polysaccharide rhamnogalacturonan II (RG-II), which is vital for maintaining cell ......
Bor ist ein essentieller Mikronährstoff für Pflanzen. In Pflanzen befindet sich Bor überwiegend in der primären Zellwand, wo es das pektische Polysaccharid Rhamnogalacturonan II (RG-II) vernetzt. Diese Vernetzung ist ......

Proximal sensing of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) is widely used as a non-invasive indicator of photosynthetic activity. Together with photochemical quenching (PQ) and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), SIF ......
Verständnis der stressinduzierten Dynamik der sonneninduzierten Chlorophyllfluoreszenz mittels blattbasierter hyperspektraler Bildgebung
Die bodennahe Fernerkundung der sonneninduzierten ......

Boron is an essential micronutrient for crops and deficiencies of boron severely impact on yield. The molecular mechanisms of boron functions in plants, however, remain largely unexplored. Research summarized in this ...

Background and Motivation: Changes in water and carbon balances both impact and are impacted by the processes of soil microbial communities and plants, creating complex feedback loops. Climate change is ...

Road infrastructure development in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is rapidly expanding, creating both economic opportunities and ecological challenges that require urgent attention from researchers and policymakers. This ...

Die in der vorliegenden Habilitationsschrift zusammengefassten Forschungsarbeiten umfassen erstens molekulargenetische Untersuchungen, sowie Transkriptom- und Proteomanalysen der jungen Keimlingswurzeln von Mais (Zea mays ......

Smallholder agriculture in Nigeria faces persistent insect pest pressure and a widespread dependence on chemical insecticides in several crop sectors, alongside limited awareness of sustainable alternatives. This researched ......
