Massive Shift in Gene Expression during Transitions between Developmental Stages of the Gall Midge, Mayetiola Destructor
Mayetiola destructor is a destructive pest of wheat and has six developmental stages. Molecular mechanisms controlling the transition between developmental stages remain unknown. Here we analyzed genes that were expressed ...
SWAT: Agricultural water and nonpoint source pollution management at a watershed scale
Global change and demographic changes increasingly cause water, food, and health problems at many places of the world. In addition, the growth in bioenergy production leads to land-use change and associated environmental ...
Cattle use of perennial streams and associated riparian areas on a northeastern Oregon landscape
Stream and riparian health is a major concern for state and federal land management agencies that are charged with oversight of extensive land holdings in the mountain west of the United States. Several federal agencies ...
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 ...
Spatial Occupancy Patterns and Activity of Arid Rangeland Cattle Grazing Small Riparian Pastures
The spatial occupancy patterns and activity of cattle grazing three riparian pastures was investigated in northeastern Oregon using Global Positioning System (GPS) collars logging at 1-sec intervals. Cattle consistently ...
Cattle use of off-stream water developments across a northeastern Oregon landscape
Water developments have been considered a fundamental tool for dispersing livestock and reducing livestock impact on riparian and aquatic habitats associated with perennial streams. Quantifying the efficacy of water ...
Modeling gross primary production of paddy rice cropland through analyses of data from CO2 eddy flux tower sites and MODIS images
Accurate information on the gross primary production (GPP) of paddy rice cropland is critical for assessing and monitoring rice growing conditions. The eddy co-variance technique was used to measure net ecosystem ex- change ...
Fast-forward genetics by radiation hybrids to saturate the locus regulating nuclear–cytoplasmic compatibility in Triticum
The nuclear-encoded species cytoplasm specific (scs) genes control nuclear–cytoplasmic compatibility in wheat (genus Triticum). Alloplasmic cells, which have nucleus and cytoplasm derived from different species, produce ...
Genome-wide Analysis of Small Ruminant Tolerance to Grazing Stress Under Arid Desert
There are three major hot and dry deserts in North America, all located in the Western United States and Northern Mexico. Desert areas are facing serious environmental challenges, most importantly drought and water shortages ...
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 ...
