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... -
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 wheat SnRK1α family and its contribution to Fusarium toxin tolerance
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin produced by phytopathogenic Fusarium fungi in cereal grain and plays a role as a disease virulence factor. TaFROG (Triticum aestivum Fusarium... -
Risk factors for European winter oilseed rape production under climate change
Winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L., WOSR) is the main oilseed crop in Europe, and it is mainly grown for biofuel and edible oil. The crop is grown widespread in Europe with... -
Where are the drought tolerant crops? An assessment of more than two decades ...
Since the dawn of modern biotechnology public and private enterprise have pursued the development of a new breed of drought tolerant crop products. After more than 20 years of... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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...
