Changes in stay-green and nitrogen use efficiency traits in historical set of winter barley cultivars
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
The objective of this study was to compare grain yield, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and stay-green traits in winter barley under low and high nitrogen (N) fertilization treatments. Field trials were conducted during two ...
Effect of stem structural characteristics and cell wall components related to stem lodging resistance in a newly identified mutant of hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022)
In wheat, lodging is affected by anatomical and chemical characteristics of the stem cell wall. Plant characteristics determining the stem strength were measured in lodging tolerant mutant (PMW-2016-1) developed through ...
Plant breeding for increased sustainability: challenges, opportunities and progress
(Springer, 2022)
Humanity is facing enormous challenges in the years to come: sustainability of agriculture and sustainability of our supply with food, feed and renewable materials are neither granted nor free. Especially, but not only, ...
Digital Image Analysis Using FloCIA Software for Ornamental Sunflower Ray Floret Color Evaluation
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2020)
As an esthetic trait, ray floret color has a high importance in the development of new sunflower genotypes and their market value. Standard methodology for the evaluation of sunflower ray florets is based on International ...
Exploitation of epigenetic variation of crop wild relatives for crop improvement and agrobiodiversity preservation
(Springer, 2022)
Crop wild relatives (CWRs) are recognized as the best potential source of traits for crop improvement. However, successful crop improvement using CWR relies on identifying variation in genes controlling desired traits in ...
High-throughput screening of soybean di-nitrogen fixation and seed nitrogen content using spectral sensing
(Elsevier, 2022)
Symbiotic di-nitrogen fixation of grain legumes has a substantial impact on crop performance, harvest product quality, and nitrogen (N) balance of crop rotations, particularly under organic management regimes. In soybean ...
Camelina, an ancient oilseed crop actively contributing to the rural renaissance in Europe. A review
(Springer France, Paris, 2021)
Promoting crop diversification in European agriculture is a key pillar of the agroecological transition. Diversifying crops generally enhances crop productivity, quality, soil health and fertility, and resilience to pests ...
Pericarp features of wild perennial Helianthus L. species as a potential source for improvement of technical and technological properties of cultivated sunflower
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Although the anatomy of the sunflower achene has been extensively studied, not enough attention is given to the research of the pericarp characteristics as potentially important parameters in the breeding programme. ...
Camelina germination under osmotic stress -Trend lines, time-courses and critical points
(Elsevier, 2022)
Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] has increased cold, heat, and drought tolerance and decreased susceptibility to diseases and pests than oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.). Because water deficit at sowing leads to ...
Application of conventional and high-pressure extraction techniques for the isolation of bioactive compounds from the aerial part of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) assortment Helena
(Elsevier, 2021)
In this work, different extraction techniques (soxhlet extraction, hydrodistillation, subcritical water extraction and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction followed by conventional extraction) were employed for the ...
