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... -
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... -
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... -
Managing Acrylamide at the Agricultural Stage: Variety Selection, Crop Manage...
Acrylamide is a processing contaminant that forms from free asparagine and reducing sugars, such as glucose, fructose and maltose, during high-temperature cooking and... -
UK researchers receive prestigious award for work on wheat genomics
Joseph Rank (1854–1943) was a Yorkshire miller who revolutionised the UK wheat milling industry in mid-1880s. He introduced roller milling from Central Europe and steam power... -
Acrylamide: New European Risk Management Measures and Prospects for Reducing ...
Acrylamide (C3H5NO) is a processing contaminant formed from free asparagine and reducing sugars during high-temperature cooking and processing. It is a Group 2A carcinogen, and... -
Crop Biotechnology
Plant molecular biology came to the fore in the early 1980s and there has been tremendous growth in the subject since then. The study of plant genes and genomes, coupled with... -
Current and possible approaches for improving photosynthetic efficiency
One of the most important tasks laying ahead today’s biotechnology is to improve crop productivity with the aim of meeting increased food and energy demands of humankind. Plant...
