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 ...
