Developing an alternative water-fertilizer-saving management practice for winter wheat-summer maize double cropping system in the North China Plain (NCP) is urgent to address severe water scarcity and adverse environmental impacts. A four-year field...
The growing demand for native planting material in ecological restoration and rehabilitation
for agro-silvo-pastoral ecosystems has resulted in a major global industry in their sourcing,
multiplication, and sale. Plant tissue culture is used for...
Breeding programs in developing countries still cannot afford the new genotyping technologies, hindering their research. We aimed to assemble an Association Mapping panel to serve as CGIAR Barley Breeding Toolbox (CBBT), especially for the Developing...
Crop yield prediction is critical for investigating the yield gap and potential adaptations to environmental and management factors in arid regions. Crop models (CMs) are powerful tools for predicting yield and water use, but they still have some...
Scientists largely acknowledge the value of research data management (RDM) to enable reproducibility and reuse. But, RDM practices are not sufficiently rewarded within the traditional academic reputation economy. Recent work showed that emerging RDM...
The study was carried out to assess the diversity of the farming system and the associated development needs of Bedouin communities in the rural area of the hot dry Coastal Zone of Western Desert (CZWD), Egypt with the objective of improving...
Wheat occupies a special role in global food security since, in addition to providing 20% of
our carbohydrates and protein, almost 25% of the global production is traded internationally. The
importance of wheat for food security was recognised by the...
