The genetic and molecular architecture controlling flowering time in interaction with the environment in winter wheat
(2022-06-22)
The time of flowering is a key factor for global adaptability to diverse conditions and a critical agronomical factor for successful reproduction. This high potential is resulting from a natural variation that has remained ...
The serum proteome and metabolome of dairy cows clustered for body fat content from a large dairy herd
(2022-06-20)
The transition from late pregnancy to early lactation implies metabolic and endocrine changes for accomplishing the adaptation to the rapid increase of milk production. Voluntary feed intake can usually not cover the energy ...
Improving animal welfare on dairy farms with special emphasis on calf management
(2022-06-17)
Livestock welfare, including dairy cows and calves, has gained importance for society, politics, and agriculture over the last decades. Providing kept animals with a high level of animal welfare requires the implementation ...
Role of root plasticity in response to soil compaction in sorghum
(2022-06-17)
Compacted soils limit crop production and affect millions of hectares of agricultural land globally. Plants vary in tolerance to soil compaction and roots express various plastic responses. Unfortunately, the importance ...
Coestimating long-term temporal signals to reduce the aliasing effect in parametric geodetic mean dynamic topography estimation
(2022-06-16)
The geodetic estimation of the mean dynamic ocean topography (MDT) as the difference between the mean of the sea surface and the geoid remains, despite the simple relation, still a difficult task. Mainly, the spectral ...
Resource-efficient feeding of fattening pigs based on body composition related performance groups: Studies on technical and environmental aspects
(2021-10-26)
Livestock husbandry is increasingly confronted with the growing demands for more animal welfare and better environmental protection. As the largest component of agricultural animals in meat production, fattening pig husbandry ...
Dormancy in temperate fruit trees - Perspectives for farming in a changing climate
(2021-05-26)
Deciduous fruit trees, which originated in temperate climates, exhibit an inactive period (i.e. dormancy) between late autumn and early spring. This period allows trees to endure the severe winter temperatures usually ...
Exploring behavioral motivations as drivers for the adoption of bio-economy innovations
(2020-12-10)
For the past centuries, fossil resources served the German economy as the basis for numerous technological innovations facilitating continuous economic growth and prosperity. However, global challenges of the 21st ......

Effects of root temperature on food quality of horticultural crops
(2021-10-14)
Different from ambient temperature, root temperature is convenient and economical to manage and control, especially with the development of greenhouse. Understanding the effects of root temperature on plant growth and key ...
Heating Performance and Ammonia Removal of a Single-Stage Bioscrubber Pilot Plant with Integrated Heat Exchanger under Field Conditions
(2021-10-10)
In this study, biological exhaust air treatment was combined with a recuperative heat exchanger in one process stage. The aim of this plant development and testing is not only to reduce ammonia from the exhaust air of pig ...
