The negative relationship between grain size (percentage >2.5mm) and protein content usually observed in barley grain samples is attributed to the presence of thin grains. The objective of this study was to determine ...

Current models of sorghum crop growth predict grain number using a calculated plant growth rate around flowering and a genotype-dependent parameter that describes the relationship between both traits. Few values for this ...

Argentina is the single exporter of non-gmo hard endosperm maize to the European Union, and is internationally known for its grain hardness. This special hard endosperm maize supply chain follows strict regulations to ...

The use of methodologies for easy application and quick results are important in determining the water content in the grains to maize producers could decide the right time to perform the harvest with reduced losses in maize ...

Doped barium cerate is a promising solid electrolyte for intermediate temperature fuel cells as a protonic conductor. However, it is difficult to sinter it to high density at a reasonable temperature. Moreover, it presents ...

Late foliar diseases (especially leaf rust) reduce assimilate supply during post-anthesis, determining fewer assimilates per grain and thereby inducing grain weight reductions. Although the assimilate reduction hypothesis ...
