Diversity of content and composition of cell wall-derived dietary fibre in po...
Rice, the staple food of more than half the world's population, is consumed mainly after polishing which removes beneficial components, particularly vitamins, minerals and... -
Increased bioavailability of phenolic acids and enhanced vascular function fo...
Clinical trial data have indicated an association between wholegrain consumption and a reduction in surrogate markers of cardiovascular disease. Phenolics present in wholegrain... -
Sustainable Cropping Requires Adaptation to a Heterogeneous Rhizosphere
Root–soil interactions in the rhizosphere are central to resource acquisition and crop production in agricultural systems. However, apart from studies in idealized experimental... -
Dynamics of dry matter accumulation in internodes indicates source and sink r...
Storage of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) in internode parenchyma before anthesis functions as a major carbon source for rice grain filling. In this study, two-year field... -
Suppression of a BAHD acyltransferase decreases p ‐coumaroyl on arabinoxylan ...
Grass cell walls have hydroxycinnamic acids attached to arabinosyl residues of arabinoxylan (AX), and certain BAHD acyltransferases are involved in their addition. In this... -
Understanding effects of genotype × environment × sowing window interactions ...
Durum wheat is one of the most important crops in the Mediterranean basin. The choice of the cultivar and the sowing time are key management practices that ensure high yield.... -
Stability of farm income: The role of agricultural diversity and agri-environ...
Instability (or variability) in farm income represents a significant challenge for farm management and the design of public policies. Identifying farming practices which can... -
Characteristics of soil organic matter within an erosional landscape under ag...
The characteristics of soil organic matter (SOM) such as stocks, sources and stability, are important for understanding soil functioning and C cycling in an eroding field. In... -
Why do crop models diverge substantially in climate impact projections? A com...
Robust projections of climate impact on crop growth and productivity by crop models are key to designing effective adaptations to cope with future climate risk. However, current... -
Differential ear growth of two maize varieties to shading in the field enviro...
The interception of irradiation by smog pollution and cloud cover associated with extreme rainfall events has become an increasingly important limiting factor in crop production... -
The case for improving crop carbon sink strength or plasticity for a CO2-rich...
Atmospheric CO2 concentration [CO2] has increased from 260 to 280 μmol mol−1 (level during crop domestication up to the industrial revolution) to currently 400 and will reach... -
A novel approach to estimate soil penetrometer resistance from water content,...
Continuous estimates of penetrometer resistance (Q) would be useful in root elongation and in soil management studies. However, penetrometers produce estimates of penetration...
