Effect of post-harvest practices on greenhouse gas emissions in rice paddies: flooding regime and straw management
(Springer, 2022-03-22)
Aims
To assess 1) the effect of the combination of flooding (winter flooding vs. non-winter flooding; WFL vs NWF) and timing of straw incorporation (early vs late straw incorporation; ESI vs LSI) in ...
Genetic Structure of Modern Durum Wheat Cultivars and Mediterranean Landraces Matches with Their Agronomic Performance
(Public Library of Science, 2016-08-11)
A collection of 172 durum wheat landraces from 21 Mediterranean countries and 20 modern cultivars were phenotyped in 6 environments for 14 traits including phenology, biomass, yield and yield omponents. ...
From Genetic Maps to QTL Cloning: An Overview for Durum Wheat
(MDPI, 2021-02-06)
Durum wheat is one of the most important cultivated cereal crops, providing nutrients to humans and domestic animals. Durum breeding programs prioritize the improvement of its main agronomic traits; ...
Crop diversification and digestate application effect on the productivity and efficiency of irrigated winter crop systems
(Elsevier, 2023-05-23)
Irrigated winter crops can reduce input demands when compared with irrigated summer cropping systems in the Mediterranean area. The sustainability of these systems can be further improved resorting to ...
Agricultural policies against invasive species generate contrasting outcomes for climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation
(The Royal Society, 2022-10-19)
Direct consequences of biological invasions on biodiversity and the environment have been largely documented. Yet collateral indirect effects mediated by changes in agri-environmental policies aimed at ...
Effect of Ppd-A1 and Ppd-B1 Allelic Variants on Grain Number and Thousand Kernel Weight of Durum Wheat and Their Impact on Final Grain Yield
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018-06-29)
The main yield components in durum wheat are grain number per unit area (GN) and
thousand kernel weight (TKW), both of which are affected by environmental conditions.
The most critical developmental ...
Global trends in nature’s contributions to people
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-12-07)
Declining biodiversity and ecosystem functions put many of nature’s contributions to people at risk. We review and synthesize the scientific literature to assess 50-y global trends across a broad range ...
Climate service driven adaptation may alleviate the impacts of climate change in agriculture
(Nature, 2022-11-12)
Building a resilient and sustainable agricultural sector requires the development and implementation of tailored climate change adaptation strategies. By focusing on durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. ...
Negative impacts of dominance on bee communities: Does the influence of invasive honey bees differ from native bees?
(Wiley, 2021-09-01)
Invasive species can reach high abundances and dominate native environments. One of the most impressive examples of ecological invasions is the spread of the African subspecies of the honey bee throughout ...
Impact of invasive bees on plant-pollinator interactions and reproductive success of plant species in mixed Nothofagus antarctica forests
(Springer, 2020-07-30)
Invasive social bees can alter plant-pollinator interactions with detrimental effects on both partners. However, most studies have focused on one invasive bee species, while the interactions among two ...
