Genome-Wide Association Study of Spot Form of Net Blotch Resistance in the Upper Midwest Barley Breeding Programs
Pyrenophora teres f. maculata, the causal agent of spot form of net blotch (SFNB), is an emerging pathogen of barley in USA and Australia. Compared to net form of net blotch (NFNB), less is known in the United States upper ...
Grasslands in 'Old World' and 'New World' Mediterranean-climate zones: past trends, current status and future research priorities
Despite their ecological, economic and social importance,
grasslands in areas with Mediterranean climates
continue to receive limited scientific, political and
media attention. The main objectives of this review
are to ...
Impacts of International Wheat Improvement Research
Wheat is a major source of calories and protein for consumers in developing countries. The “Green Revolution” improved the national food security and welfare of the poor in developing countries in the second half of the ...
Ensemble forecasting of short-term system scale irrigation demands using real-time flow data and numerical weather predictions
Irrigation demands fluctuate in response to weather variations and a range of irrigation management decisions, which creates challenges for water supply system operators. This paper develops a method for real-time ensemble ...
A Review of Continental-to-Global Sustainable Water Use Assessment
Freshwater scarcity and unsustainable water use are some of the growing concerns in many parts of the world. Increasing water demand accompanied by increasing climate change leads to the unsustainable use of freshwater ...
Wheat
Wheat is one of the most important staple crops of global food and nutritional security. The demand for wheat has been increasing substantially with the increasing human population pressure. Wheat genetic resources including ...
Seasonal and inter-annual variability of soil moisture stress function in dryland wheat field, Australia
It is assumed that the ratio of actual evapotranspiration (AET) to potential evapotranspiration (PET) is mostly controlled by the soil water content available for ET. This control is formulated using the soil moisture ...
Biofortification through breeding interventions in lentil
Micronutrient deficiency affects more than two billion population worldwide especially in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The deficiency in human body is commonly described as “hidden hunger” leading to a range of health ...
The efficacy of calibrating hydrologic model using remotely sensed evapotranspiration and soil moisture for streamflow prediction
Calibration of spatially distributed hydrologic models is frequently limited by the availability of ground observations. Remotely sensed (RS) hydrologic information provides an alternative source of observations to inform ...
