What traits govern root sprouting in temperate herbs?
The ability is most common in dry, open habitats, and most vigorous where disturbance is frequent.
Hakea drought resistance determined by climate factors rather than functional traits
Cavitation resistance appears to be genetic, making it useful as a predictor of drought resistance.
The comparative adaptation to water-limitation of sorghum and maize
A new study unravels why maize has higher yields and sorghum is more drought tolerant using a cropping systems modeling platform.
Local adaptation of invasive species occurs in clonal plants too
In transplant experiments, closely-related sexual and asexual species both showed evidence of local adaptation.
Identifying QTLs for dynamic photosynthesis in barley
How do photosynthetic responses to fluctuating light vary across populations of crop plants and are these genetically controlled?
Reducing sorghum water stress during drought
A new study uses drought patterns, sowing date, and genotype phenology to reduce sorghum water stress during critical stages.
Colder temperatures better for long-term maize seed storage
Seeds were found to vary from one accession to the next in their cold storage longevity.
Why are leaves always flat?
A new model uncovers the possible mechanisms underlying the robustness of flat leaf production.
Computer models using remote sensing data accurately predict crop yield
Combing new tools for the rapid advancement of genetic gain in sorghum breeding programs.
