RNAi-mediated silencing of vitellogenin gene function turns honeybee (Apis mellifera) workers into extremely precocious foragers
(SPRINGER, 2008)
The switch from within-hive activities to foraging behavior is a major transition in the life cycle of a honeybee (Apis mellifera) worker. A prominent regulatory role in this switch has long been attributed to juvenile ...
Characterization of the copper transporters from lotus spp. and their involvement under flooding conditions
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2019-06)
Forage legumes are an important livestock nutritional resource, which includes essential metals, such as copper. Particularly, the high prevalence of hypocuprosis causes important economic losses to Argentinian cattle ...
Transcriptome response mediated by cold stress in lotus japonicus
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2016-03)
Members of the Lotus genus are important as agricultural forage sources under marginal environmental conditions given their high nutritional value and tolerance of various abiotic stresses. However, their dry matter ...
Opuntia forage production systems: Status and prospects for rangeland application
(Society for Range Management, 2009-02)
This paper reports recent findings in Opuntia genetics, nutrient fertilization, and cultivation with promise to overcome limitations for Opuntia-based forage production systems. The essentially spineless, fast-growing ...
Maize-based systems as affected by forage grass and nitrogen fertilization: elucidating 15N recovery, greenhouse gas emissions, N-cycle functional genes in soil and crop yields
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2021-01-29)
Due to the interest in N use efficiency (NUE) and sustainable agricultural systems, the adoption of integrated systems, such as the intercropping of maize with forage grasses can be of great relevance, allowing the use of ...
Lotus tenuis x L. corniculatus interspecific hybridization as a means to breed bloat-safe pastures and gain insight into the genetic control of proanthocyanidin biosynthesis in legumes
(BioMed Central, 2014-02)
Background: Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are secondary metabolites that strongly affect plant quality traits. The concentration and the structure of these metabolites influence the palatability and nutritional value of forage ...
Genotypic variation of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of Italian ryegrass
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, 2010)
Functional N-cycle genes in soil and N2O emissions in tropical grass-maize intercropping systems
(2022-06-01)
There is evidence that forage grasses such as Megathyrsus and Urochloa can suppress nitrification, with direct or indirect consequences on soil inorganic N dynamics and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. However, the influence ...
Long-term lime and gypsum amendment increase nitrogen fixation and decrease nitrification and denitrification gene abundances in the rhizosphere and soil in a tropical no-till intercropping system
(2020-10-01)
Liming is widely used to decrease soil acidity, and the application of lime alone or in combination with other amendments, such as gypsum, is a viable agricultural practice to improve soil nutrient status and crop yield. ...
