Three new studies report large-scale resequencing and comparative genomic analysis of diverse maize varieties. The authors conducted a comprehensive characterization of sequence variation in maize genomes and identified signals of selection in maize domestication and breeding. This is a preview of subscripti...
2024年3月21日,中国科学院分子植物科学卓越创新中心王二涛团队于Nature Plants上就同期发表的Nature Plants |Heritable microbiome variation is correlated with source environment in locally adapted maize varieties发表了题为Exploitation of the microbiome for crop breeding的评述论文。该评述指出农业精准微生物组(Precis...
mitigation and climate justice. On the one hand, adaptation against climate impacts must be justified and planned on the basis of an understanding of their future magnitude and spatial distribution9. This is also of importance in the context of climate...
national and global levels. Quantitative, standardized information on crop losses is difficult to compile and compare across crops, agroecosystems and regions. Here, we report on an expert-based assessment of crop health, and provide
global meta-analysis to quantify the effect of intercropping on the yield gain, exploring the effects of crop species combinations, temporal and spatial arrangements, and fertilizer input. We found that the absolute yield gains, compared with monocultures, were the greatest for mixtures of maize ...
Maize is predomi- nantly grown by small-scale farmers without fungicides; hence, there is need to develop GLS resistant hybrids. There is limited information about the mode of inheritance for GLS resis- tance in regionally...doi:10.1016/j.cropro.2018.05.010Bekeko Zelalem...
2023年1月16日,华南农业大学王海洋,中国农业大学赖锦盛,北京市农林科学院赵久然及河南农业大学陈彦惠共同通讯在Nature Genetics在线发表题为“De novo genome assembly and analyses of 12 founder inbred lines provide insights into maize heterosis”的研究论文,该研究表明亲本...
Two of the troops studied apparently did not raid, as they never left the reserve.Data from the questionnaires suggest that, while raiding is stimulated by food scarcity in the dry season, baboons raid maize and beans whenever available, seemingly preferring these crops over natural forage. ...
Using models of cropping systems, we developed a strategy that combines cover-crop management and earlier planting of extended growth soybean varieties to reduce emissions from soybean production by 33%. These practices, which complement N fertilizer management in maize, are widely accessible and ...
