Laboratory and field experiments have repeatedly demonstrated that modifications to the process of photosynthesis or to the physical characteristics of plants can make crops more resilient to hotter ...

In squash, the "nick shot" is an emphatic, point-ending play in which a player strikes a ball that ricochets near the bottom of the wall and rolls flat along the floor instead of bouncing, leaving an ...

Plants utilize a rapid "molecular switch" in their roots that enables them to sense dry soils and redirect their growth to ...

While modern breeding programs often focus on improving shoot performance, the genetic mechanisms that coordinate root-shoot responses under nitrogen stress remain poorly understood. This study aimed ...

The incident acts as a “window” on the system—hence systems analysis. Incident analysis, properly understood, is not a retrospective search for root causes but an attempt to look to the future. In a ...

Few studies on sugar cane have evaluated the root system of the crop, in spite of its importance. This is mainly due to the difficulty of evaluation and high variability of results. The objective of ...
