Phosphorus forms in fertilized arable soil profiles and related 33P uptake
(2019-09-13)
Arable soils usually store several thousand kg phosphorus (P) per ha, thus far exceeding the recommended P fertilizer dose to sustain crop yields. However, the soil profile is frequently not considered in fertilizer ...
Nitrogen sequestration in paddy and non-paddy soils formed from different parent materials
(2019-08-19)
Paddy soils exhibit low nitrogen (N) use efficiency. Prior research in this field suggested that paddy soils may sequester significant amounts of N in aged amino acids, microbial residues, or even in pyrogenic N. The ...
Genetic mapping of quantitative trait loci associated with arsenic tolerance and accumulation in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
(2019-09-04)
Genetische Kartierung von quantitativen Trait Loci im Zusammenhang mit Arsentoleranz und Akkumulation im Reis (Oryza sativa L.)
Reis (Oryza sativa. L) ist eines der wichtigsten Grundnahrungsmittel ......
Rice (Oryza sativa. L) is one of the world’s most important staple crops, consumed by more than half of the world’s population, and it plays a significant role in the entry of mineral nutrients into the food chain. Arsenic ......

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 ...
Insights into the salt stress adaptation mechanisms of bread wheat genotypes using a systemic approach
(2020-09-17)
Bread wheat is one of the most important crops for the human diet but the increasing soil salinization is causing yield reductions worldwide. The development of appropriate cultivars requires the elucidation of mechanisms ...
African nightshade and African spinach: A neglected and underutilized resource with significant potential to manage plant-parasitic nematodes
(2019-05-07)
African indigenous vegetables (AIV) are essential for dietary diversification and ensuring nutritional requirements for people in sub-Sahara Africa. AIV have been largely marginalized by agriculture research, yet they are ......
In Afrika heimische Blattgemüse (AIV) sind essentielle Komponenten einer reichhaltigen und ausreichenden Ernährung der Einwohner sub-Sahara Afrikas. Obwohl AIV ausdauernd und tolerant gegen wechselnde Umweltbedingungen ......

Phenotyping of wheat resistance to Fusarium head blight using hyperspectral imaging
(2021-02-10)
The integrated management of Fusarium head blight (FHB) on wheat depends on the implementation of agricultural practices, cultivation of resistant varieties, and fungicides application. Reducing yield losses and mycotoxin ......
Vegetation diversity in East African wetlands: Cocktail algorithms supported by a vegetation-plot database
(2022-12-08)
Aims: Wetlands in East Africa are important ecosystems for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem service provisioning, yet threatened by degradation and conversion into croplands. Conservation and land use management ...
Unusually warm winter seasons may compromise the performance of current phenology models: Predicting bloom dates in young apple trees with PhenoFlex
(2022-07-15)
Phenology models are crucial tools for assessing climate change impacts in forestry, ecology and agriculture. Such models are typically calibrated with observational or experimental data and validated with a set of independent ...
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 ...
