Warming effects on Pinus sylvestris in the cold-dry Siberian forest-steppe: Positive or negative balance of trade?
(MDPI, 2017-12-07)Understanding climate change impacts on drought-prone forests is a critical issue. We investigated ring-width and stable isotopes (Δ13C and δ18O) in two Pinus sylvestris stands of the cold-dry Siberian forest-steppe growing ... -
Weight of individual wheat grains estimated from high-throughput digital images of grain area
(Elsevier, 2021-01-29)Average grain weight (AGW) is a major component of wheat yield. When attempting to elucidate mechanisms behind treatments effects on AGW, the distribution of the weight of individual grains may be critical. Determining the ... -
Wheat developmental traits as affected by the interaction between Eps-7D and temperature under contrasting photoperiods with insensitive Ppd-D1 background
(MDPI, 2021)Earliness per se (Eps) genes are important to fine tune adaptation, and studying their probable pleiotropic effect on wheat yield traits is worthwhile. In addition, it has been shown that some Eps genes interact with ... -
Wheat pre-anthesis development as affected by photoperiod sensitivity genes (Ppd-1) under contrasting photoperiods
(CSIRO Publishing, 2018)Fine tuning wheat phenology is of paramount importance for adaptation. A better understanding of how genetic constitution modulates the developmental responses during pre-anthesis phases would help to maintain or even ... -
When more is better: multigene engineering in plants
(Elsevier, 2010)The genomics revolution has taught us that a great deal of information can be derived from studying many genes or proteins at the same time. We are beginning to see this approach blossoming in applied research. Instead ... -
Wildland fire typologies and extreme temperatures in NE Spain
(Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology, 2016)Understanding instrumental factors dealing with the development of large wildland fires is a need. Fire spread typologies and extreme temperature days were studied in the 1978-2012 period in Aragón (NE Spain). Temperature ... -
Winter cereal root growth and aboveground–belowground biomass ratios as affected by site and tillage system in dryland Mediterranean conditions
(Springer Verlag, 2014)Background and aims Understanding the interaction between crop roots and management and environmental factors can improve crop management and agricultural carbon sequestration. The objectives of this study were to ... -
Woody plants optimise stomatal behaviour relative to hydraulic risk
(Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Stomatal response to environmental conditions forms the backbone of all ecosystem and carbon cycle models, but is largely based on empirical relationships. Evolutionary theories of stomatal behaviour are critical for ... -
Woolly apple aphid Eriosoma lanigerum Hausmann ecology and its relationship with climatic variables and natural enemies in Mediterranean areas
(Cambridge University Press, 2015)A multilateral approach that includes both biotic and climatic data was developed to detect the main variables that affect the ecology and population dynamics of woolly apple aphid Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann). Crawlers ... -
Yield and biomass in wheat and barley under a range of conditions in a Mediterranean site
(Elsevier, 2009)It has been broadly accepted that barley performs better than wheat, particularly under severe stress conditions of the Mediterranean basin. However, this assumption is not based on rigorous evidence. This study compared ... -
Yield and grain weight responses to post-anthesis increases in maximum temperature under field grown wheat as modified by nitrogen supply
(Elsevier, 2018)High-temperatures reduce yield of wheat and with global warming episodes of heat waves (only few days of high maximum temperatures) during grain filling will become more frequent. It has been recently reported that the ... -
Yield and water use efficiency of barley in a semiarid Mediterranean agroecosystem: long-term effects of tillage and N fertilization
(Elsevier, 2011)Conservation tillage systems (no-tillage, NT; and minimum tillage, MT) are being adopted in rainfed agroecosystems of the Mediterranean basin where water availability is the main limiting factor for crop productivity. ... -
Yield determination, interplay between major components and yield stability in a traditional and a contemporary wheat across a wide range of environments
(Elsevier, 2017)Physiological bases of Mediterranean wheat yield improvements have been less explored than in other regions, particularly so during the period following the Green Revolution. Due to the common terminal stress of Mediterranean ... -
Yield models for predicting aboveground ectomycorrhizal fungal productivity in Pinus sylvestris and Pinus pinaster stands of northern Spain
(Springer Open, 2019-12-16)Background: Predictive models shed light on aboveground fungal yield dynamics and can assist decision-making in forestry by integrating this valuable non-wood forest product into forest management planning. However, the ... -
ZmPBF and ZmGAMYB transcription factors independently transactivate the promoter of the maize (Zea mays L.) β-carotene hydroxylase 2 gene
(Wiley, 2018-12-01)The maize (Zea mays) enzyme b-carotene hydroxylase 2 (ZmBCH2) controls key steps in the conversion of b-carotene to zeaxanthin in the endosperm. The ZmBCH2 gene has an endosperm-preferred and developmentally regulated ... -
β-carotene and Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal protein differentially modulate feeding behaviour, mortality and physiology of European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis)
(Public Library of Science, 2021-02-16)Maize with enhanced β-carotene production was engineered to counteract pervasive vitamin A deficiency in developing countries. Second-generation biofortified crops are being developed with additional traits that confer ...
