White Mustard (Sinapis alba L.) Oil in Biodiesel Production: A Review
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2020)
White mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seed oil is used for cooking, food preservation, body and hair revitalization, biodiesel production, and as a diesel fuel additive and alternative biofuel. This review focuses on biodiesel ...
Strategy for exploiting exotic germplasm using genetic, morphological, and environmental diversity: the Aegilops tauschii Coss. example
(Springer, New York, 2013)
Hexaploid bread wheat evolved from a rare hybridisation, which resulted in a loss of genetic diversity in the wheat D-genome with respect to the ancestral donor, Aegilops tauschii. Novel genetic variation can be introduced ...
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 ...
Potential of cyanobacterial secondary metabolites as biomarkers for paleoclimate reconstruction
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Loess is the most important archive of Quaternary palaeoclimate evolution, with more thorough and systematic investigations carried out in the past two decades in the Carpathian Basin. Application of novel proxies in loess ...
Biodiesel production from corn oil: A review
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
This paper deals with biodiesel production from corn oil as a feedstock via the transesterification and esterification reactions. To date, corn oil has not been considered a viable biodiesel feedstock because of its high ...
Co-occurrence of Mild Salinity and Drought Synergistically Enhances Biomass and Grain Retardation in Wheat
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2019)
In the present study we analyzed the responses of wheat to mild salinity and drought with special emphasis on the so far unclarified interaction of these important stress factors by using high-throughput phenotyping ...
Response of kernel growth of barley genotypes with different row type to climatic factors before and after inflection point of grain filling
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Changes in patterns of rainfall and rising temperatures during grain development have already negatively affected yield gains of temperate cereals. This article reports on barley field trials with 15 two- and 10 six-row ...
Effect of cultivation practices on diversity in susceptibility reactions of winter wheat genotypes to Fusarium head blight
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2021)
Reports on the effectiveness of Fusarium head blight (FHB) control measures do not follow the same pattern in different regions, and the combined effects of abiotic and biotic factors on FHB are not fully understood. ...
Isoflavone composition in F1 soybean progenies
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2011)
Twenty F1 soybean progenies were analyzed for isoflavone content in order to investigate whether this attribute can be translated from parents to the corresponding hybrids. Content of total isoflavones in analyzed samples ...
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 ...
