Short?Term Response of Soil Health Indicators to Cover Crop Management in Small?Scale Vegetable Cropping Systems

- ABSTRACTA 2?year field experiment (2022–2023) was conducted on a clay loam soil in Quebec, Canada, to evaluate the short?term effect of spring?seeded cover crop termination methods on soil health...

Genetic identification and characterization of novel loci for flag leaf morphology traits in Chinese endemic wheat

- AbstractFlag leaf morphology (FLM) is a critical determinant of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) photosynthetic efficiency and grain yield. Chinese endemic wheat, a unique genetic reservoir formed by...

Linking Hemileia vastatrix Aggressiveness to Coffee Plant Physiology in Peru's Central Jungle

- Rust infection significantly reduced the Performance Index, SPAD index and Fv/Fm, whereas ABS/RC and TR0/RC increased. In particular, isolates obtained from the germplasm bank were more aggressive...

Phenotype imputation using high?throughput phenotyping produces a new secondary trait for further selection modeling

- AbstractData from high?throughput phenotyping (HTP) could be used for phenotype imputation to enhance genomic selection (GS) or gene discovery, but this has not been explored in crop species. Three...
