Components of Vane Yield Stress of Structured Food Dispersions
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2005-10)
The vane technique was used to determine the static (s0s) and dynamic (s0d) yield stresses of six commercial foods: mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, applesauce, and two brands of tomato puree (samples TD and TR). The samples, ...
The critical period for grain yield in chia (Salvia hispanica)
(CSIRO, 2021-03-30)
Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) grain is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are important for human nutrition and prevention of cardiovascular disease, as well as dietary fibre and quality protein. Demand for chia ...
Early assessment of crop yield from remotely sensed water stress and solar radiation data
(Elsevier Science, 2018-11)
Soil moisture (SM) available for evapotranspiration is crucial for food security, given the significant interannual yield variability of rainfed crops in large agricultural regions. Also, incoming solar radiation (Rs) ...
Maize long-term genetic progress explains current dominance over sorghum in Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2020-09)
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is traditionally known for its better adaptation to drought when compared to other cereals like maize (Zea mays L.). However, genetic gains are significantly higher for maize than for ...
Exploring soybean management options for environments with contrasting water availability
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-01-10)
Soybean is commonly cultivated under rainfed conditions being water availability the main constraint. We evaluated the performance of different managements under contrasting water availability to test possible trade-offs ...
Maize prolificacy: a source of reproductive plasticity that contributes to yield stability when plant population varies in drought-prone environments
(Elsevier, 2020-02)
Reproductive plasticity, the ability of the plant to maintain the ratio between available resources and grain yield should be a useful trait to maintain the coupling between yield and resource availability under low-density ...
Multiple abiotic stresses on maize grain yield determination: Additive vs multiplicative effects
(Elsevier Science, 2016-11)
Interactions between nitrogen (Ns) and water stress (Ws) effects on annual crops productivity have been widely investigated in Mediterranean-type regions, but not in the humid temperate ones as the central Pampas of ...
Expression of the Arabidopsis ABF4 gene in potato increases tuber yield, improves tuber quality and enhances salt and drought tolerance
(Springer, 2018-09)
Key message: In this study we show that expression of the Arabidopsis ABF4 gene in potato increases tuber yield under normal and abiotic stress conditions, improves storage capability and processing quality of the tubers, ...
Heat and water stressed field-grown soybean: A multivariate study on the relationship between physiological-biochemical traits and yield
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-04)
Heat stress (HS) combined with water stress (WS) negatively impact soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production. The aims of this research were to quantify the combined effect of HS and WS during grain filling (GF) on grain ...
