Calcium ameliorates the toxicity of sulfate salinity in Brassica rapa
Salinity stress in Brassica, often only associated with osmotic effects and the toxicity of Na+, was more severe when applied as Na2SO4 than as NaCl, indicating that SO42− ions... -
Nutrient Dynamics in Wheat
Nutrients are taken up by plant roots in a regulated manner and are then distributed around the plant according to demand. As the plant develops and matures, requirements will... -
Multimodel ensembles improve predictions of crop-environment-management inter...
A recent innovation in assessment of climate change impact on agricultural production has been to use crop multimodel ensembles (MMEs). These studies usually find large... -
Earliness per se effects on developmental traits in hexaploid wheat grown und...
Earliness per se (Eps) genes are critical for fine-tuning flowering time and likely to modify other developmental traits as well. Effects of Eps alleles on components comprising... -
Contribution of crop model structure, parameters and climate projections to u...
Climate change impact assessments are plagued with uncertainties from many sources, such as climate projections or the inadequacies in structure and parameters of the impact... -
Canopy temperature for simulation of heat stress in irrigated wheat in a semi...
Even brief periods of high temperatures occurring around flowering and during grain filling can severely reduce grain yield in cereals. Recently, ecophysiological and crop... -
Increasing metabolic potential: C-fixation
Due to the growing world population, crop yields must increase to meet the rising demand. Crop plants also require adaptation to optimize performance in the changing... -
Physical robustness of canopy temperature models for crop heat stress simulat...
Despite widespread application in studying climate change impacts, most crop models ignore complex interactions among air temperature, crop and soil water status, CO2... -
Global wheat production with 1.5 and 2.0°C above pre‐industrial warming
Efforts to limit global warming to below 2°C in relation to the pre‐industrial level are under way, in accordance with the 2015 Paris Agreement. However, most impact research on... -
Wheat sample affects growth performance and the apparent metabolisable energy...
The aim of this study was to examine chemical composition, quality characteristics, apparent metabolisable energy (AME) and nutrient utilisation of wheat samples currently... -
How does inter-annual variability of attainable yield affect the magnitude of...
Provision of food security in the face of increasing global food demand requires narrowing of the gap between actual farmer's yield and maximum attainable yield. So far,... -
Characterisation of proteolytic enzymes of Eurygaster integriceps Put. (Sunn ...
Eurygaster integriceps (Sunn pest or Sunn bug) is one of the most significant pests of wheat and is responsible for substantial losses in yield and quality of wheat grain in... -
Shaping an Optimal Soil by Root–Soil Interaction
Crop production depends on the availability of water and mineral nutrients, and increased yields might be facilitated by a greater focus on roots–soil interactions. Soil... -
Designing future barley ideotypes using a crop model ensemble
Climate change and its associated higher frequency and severity of adverse weather events require genotypic adaptation. Process-based ecophysiological modelling offers a... -
Reduced response diversity does not negatively impact wheat climate resilience
Kahiluoto et al. assert that climate resilience in European wheat has declined due to current breeding practices. To support this alarming claim, the authors report yield... -
A breeding strategy targeting the secondary gene pool of bread wheat: introgr...
The continued expansion of the world population and the likely onset of climate change combine to form a major crop breeding challenge. Genetic advances in most crop species to... -
Crown rot of wheat in Australia: Fusarium pseudograminearum taxonomy, populat...
Fusarium pseudograminearum (Fp) causes crown rot (CR) on a wide range of winter cereals reducing yield and grain quality in Australia and worldwide. The broad range of host... -
BED-domain-containing immune receptors confer diverse resistance spectra to y...
Crop diseases reduce wheat yields by ~25% globally and thus pose a major threat to global food security1. Genetic resistance can reduce crop losses in the field and can be... -
Fine mapping of Aegilops peregrina co-segregating leaf and stripe rust resist...
Aegilops peregrina, a wild tetraploid relative of wheat with genome constitution UUSS, displays genetic variation for resistance to leaf and stripe (yellow) rust. The wheat Ae....
