Beauveria bassiana acts as an endophytic fungus that controls herbivorous pests by stimulating plant defenses and inducing systemic resistance. Through multiomics analysis, 325 differential ...

However, sunlight not only fuels the production of photosynthates (the plant sugars produced by photosynthesis) but also of phytonutrients that are protective to plants and nutritious to you.

As corn advances through grain fill and approaches physiological maturity (black layer), one thing to watch for is premature ear declination or premature “ear drop” (Figure 1). Premature ear drop in ...

Potassium, ranging from 0.5 to 6% of the plant dry matter, is the third more represented essential nutrient in plants and it is implicated in crucial metabolic functions including photosynthesis, ...

A greater number of fruits indicates the need for a higher quantity of photosynthates, which are translocated to the developing fruits. Contrastingly, a lower number of fruits per plant indicates a ...

The author and one of the scientists who developed the Tatura Trellis, Bas van den Ende, pictured inside an Open Tatura Trellis on Lenne's Orchard at Ardmona in 2005. Five decades ago, the Tatura ...

The increase in the nitrogen dose showed a linear increase in dry matter for the doses of 300 and 450 kg ha-1 of phosphorus. For the dose of 150 kg ha-1 of P 2 O 5 there was a quadratic dry matter ...

Grain is the sink, where photosynthates and nutrients are mobilised in the plant.” In another project, Professor Zhou will try to understand the effects of waterlogging on barley, ...

We propose a pure photosynthates extraction sensor device integrated with highly precise phloem/xylem position identification to quantitatively monitor the components of internal higher plants, which ...

ABSTRACT: Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are soil-borne microorganisms forming mutualistic associations with the vast majority of land plants, including most agricultural relevant crops. In this ...

Glyphosate requires weeds to be actively growing and translocating photosynthates efficiently for increased herbicide efficacy on perennial weeds. In pastures, glyphosate can only be applied as a ...
