Relevance of CRISP proteins for epididymal physiology, fertilization, and fertility
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-06-19)
Background: The molecular mechanisms involved in the acquisition of mammalian sperm fertilizing ability are still poorly understood, reflecting the complexity of this process. Objectives: In this review, we describe the ...
Cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRISP) proteins are key players for mammalian fertilization and fertility
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Mammalian fertilization is a complex process involving a series of successive sperm-egg interaction steps mediated by different molecules and mechanisms. Studies carried out during the past 30 years, using a group of ...
Cotton as an entry point for soil fertility maintenance and food crop productivity in savannah agroecosystems-Evidence from a long-term experiment in southern Mali
(2015-06)
Given the scarcity of manure and the limited land available for fallowing, cotton cultivation with its input credit schemes is often the main entry point for nutrients in cropping systems of West Africa. In an experiment ...
The physiology and genetics behind fruiting efficiency: A promising spike trait to improve wheat yield potential
(Oxford University Press, 2021-05)
Fruiting efficiency (FE, grains per g of spike dry weight at anthesis) was proposed as a promising spike trait to improve wheat yield potential, based on its functional relationship with grain number determination and the ...
Fertilization strategy can affect the estimation of soil nitrogen mineralization potential with chemical methods
(Springer, 2018-11)
Aims: Our objective was to evaluate if the relationship between quick indices of mineralizable N and soil N mineralization potential (No) is affected by long-term fertilization with inorganic fertilizers (IF) and/or poultry ...
Fertilizer use soil health and agricultural sustainability
(MDPI, 2022-03-25)
Due to the growing population and consequent pressure of use, agricultural soils must maintain adequate levels of quantity and quality to produce food, fiber, and energy, without falling victim to a negative impact on their ...
Alternatives for the production of Potassium Fertilizers in Argentina
(Longdom, 2019-12)
The use of potassium fertilizers on crops brings with good yields of crops and maximum profitability for farmers. Currently in Argentina, the level of production of potash fertilizers does not cover the needs of the sector ...
Assessing soil P fractions changes with long‐term phosphorus fertilization related to crop yield of soybean and maize
(Wiley, 2020-02)
Long-term P fertilization increases soil phosphorus (P) labile fractions, which can be associated with crop P uptake and grain yield and are useful to improve fertilizer recommendations. Research aims were to evaluate in ...
Las sociedades formativas tardías del Valle Fértil, San Juan
(Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, 2007-12)
Presentamos los resultados iniciales de prospección y excavación en Valle Fértil, provincia de San Juan. Proponemos desde una perspectiva espacial un esquema de ocupación para sociedades que definimos como formativas. En ...
Pharmacological inactivation of catsper blocks sperm fertilizing ability independently of the capacitation status of the cells: implications for non-hormonal contraception
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021-07)
Cation channel of sperm (CatSper), the main sperm-specific Ca2+ channel, plays a key role in mammalian fertilization, and it is essential for male fertility, becoming an attractive target for contraception. Based on this, ...
