Large-scale microsatellite development in grasspea ( Lathyrus sativus L.), an orphan legume of the arid areas
Background
Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L., 2n = 14), a member of the family Leguminosae, holds great
agronomic potential as grain and forage legume crop in the arid areas for its superb resilience
to abiotic stresses such ...
Annual Cropland Mapping Using Reference Landsat Time Series—A Case Study in Central Asia
Mapping the spatial and temporal dynamics of cropland is an important prerequisite for regular crop condition monitoring, management of land and water resources, or tracing and understanding the environmental impacts of ...
Survey of faba bean and field pea viruses in Yunnan Province, China
In a survey of faba bean ( Vicia faba) and field pea ( Pisum sativum)fields in China's Yunnan Province during March 2004, more than 5000 plant samples were collected from 35 locations and tested by tissue-blot immunoassay ...
Food legume production in China
Food legumes comprise all legumes grown for human food in China as either dry grains or
vegetables, except for soybean and groundnut. China has a vast territory with complex
ecological conditions. Rotation, intercropping, ...
Priming effect of 13C-labelled wheat straw in no-tillage soil under drying and wetting cycles in the Loess Plateau of China
he objectives of this study were to determine the effects of drying and wetting (DW) cycles on soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralisation and on the priming effect (PE) induced by the addition of 13C-labelled wheat straw to ...
Expression characteristics of pineal miRNAs at ovine different reproductive stages and the identification of miRNAs targeting the AANAT gene
Background
Many recent studies have shown that miRNAs play important roles in the regulation of animal reproduction, including seasonal reproduction. The pineal gland is a crucial hub in the regulation of seasonal reproduction. ...
Efficient and sustainable production of faba bean
Faba bean is mainly grown under rain-fed conditions, although irrigated production is important in Egypt, parts of China and Central Asia. China is the leading producer with a wide range of intensive rotation and inter-crop ...
Developing nitrogen management strategies under drip fertigation for wheat and maize production in the North China Plain based on a 3-year field experiment
The intensive winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–summer maize (Zea mays L.) cropping systems in the North China Plain (NCP) rely on the heavy use of mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizers. As the fertigated area of wheat and ...
Detection and Partial Characterization of Milk vetch dwarf virus Isolates from Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) in Yunnan Province, China
A virus disease of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) in China, characterized by leaf yellowing and rolling and plant stunting, was shown to be caused by a virus of the genus Nanovirus based on serological reactions to nanovirus-specific ...
