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 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, ......

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 ...

Aggregation of soil particles is one of the most characteristic features of terrestrial soils and crucial for their functionality. Despite the high relevance of soil aggregates, only little is known about their genesis and ...

Intact ecosystems are the basis of human food security, air quality and provide naturally re-growing resources. Adaptive ecosystem management in the face of climate change requires detailed and continuous data about the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Microorganisms play a critical role in promoting plant growth and performance, especially under environmental stresses. Utilization of microbiomes has been proposed as a strategy to improve food production and support ......
Mikroorganismen spielen eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Förderung des Pflanzenwachstums und der Pflanzenleistung, insbesondere unter biotischem und abiotischem Stress. Es wurde gezeigt, dass bestimmte wurzelassoziierte ......
