Crop metabolomics: from diagnostics to assisted breeding.

Metabolomics : Official journal of the Metabolomic Society

Alseekh S, Bermudez L, de Haro LA, Fernie AR, Carrari F.
PMID: 30830402
Metabolomics. 2018 Nov 03;14(11):148. doi: 10.1007/s11306-018-1446-5.

BACKGROUND: Until recently, plant metabolomics have provided a deep understanding on the metabolic regulation in individual plants as experimental units. The application of these techniques to agricultural systems subjected to more complex interactions is a step towards the implementation...

Pixelating crop production: Consequences of methodological choices.

PloS one

Joglekar AKB, Wood-Sichra U, Pardey PG.
PMID: 30779813
PLoS One. 2019 Feb 19;14(2):e0212281. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0212281. eCollection 2019.

Worldwide, crop production is intrinsically intertwined with biological, environmental and economic systems, all of which involve complex, inter-related and spatially-sensitive phenomena. Thus knowing the location of agriculture matters much for a host of reasons. There are several widely cited...

Nanoparticles potentially mediate salt stress tolerance in plants.

Plant physiology and biochemistry : PPB

Zulfiqar F, Ashraf M.
PMID: 33529801
Plant Physiol Biochem. 2021 Mar;160:257-268. doi: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2021.01.028. Epub 2021 Jan 23.

In the era of climate change, salt stress is a promising threat to agriculture, limiting crop production via imposing primary effects such as osmotic and ionic, as well as secondary effects such as oxidative stress, perturbance in hormonal homeostasis,...

Evaluation of pulse crops' functional diversity supporting food production.

Scientific reports

Guiguitant J, Vile D, Ghanem ME, Wery J, Marrou H.
PMID: 32098982
Sci Rep. 2020 Feb 25;10(1):3416. doi: 10.1038/s41598-020-60166-4.

Pulses, defined as legumes which produce dry seed used for human consumption, are plants of great agronomic value, at the food system level as much as the field level but their diversity has been largely underused. This study aimed...

Translating large-scale climate variability into crop production forecast in Europe.

Scientific reports

Guimarães Nobre G, Hunink JE, Baruth B, Aerts JCJH, Ward PJ.
PMID: 30718693
Sci Rep. 2019 Feb 04;9(1):1277. doi: 10.1038/s41598-018-38091-4.

Studies show that climate variability drives interannual changes in meteorological variables in Europe, which directly or indirectly impacts crop production. However, there is no climate-based decision model that uses indices of atmospheric oscillation to predict agricultural production risks in...

Short-Term Summer Inundation as a Measure to Counteract Acidification in Rich Fens.

PloS one

Mettrop IS, Cusell C, Kooijman AM, Lamers LP.
PMID: 26637121
PLoS One. 2015 Dec 04;10(12):e0144006. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0144006. eCollection 2015.

In regions with intensive agriculture, water level fluctuation in wetlands has generally become constricted within narrow limits. Water authorities are, however, considering the re-establishment of fluctuating water levels as a management tool in biodiverse, base-rich fens ('rich fens'). This...

Economic Performance and Sustainability of a Novel Intercropping System on the North China Plain.

PloS one

Huang C, Liu Q, Heerink N, Stomph T, Li B, Liu R, Zhang H, Wang C, Li X, Zhang C, van der Werf W, Zhang F.
PMID: 26275297
PLoS One. 2015 Aug 14;10(8):e0135518. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0135518. eCollection 2015.

Double cropping of wheat and maize is common on the North China Plain, but it provides limited income to rural households due to the small farm sizes in the region. Local farmers in Quzhou County have therefore innovated their...

Gene editing to facilitate hybrid crop production.

Biotechnology advances

Chen G, Zhou Y, Kishchenko O, Stepanenko A, Jatayev S, Zhang D, Borisjuk N.
PMID: 33285253
Biotechnol Adv. 2021 Jan-Feb;46:107676. doi: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2020.107676. Epub 2020 Dec 05.

Capturing heterosis (hybrid vigor) is a promising way to increase productivity in many crops; hybrid crops often have superior yields, disease resistance, and stress tolerance compared with their parental inbred lines. The full utilization of heterosis faces a number...

Future challenges for global food security under climate change.

Plant science : an international journal of experimental plant biology

Sade N, Peleg Z.
PMID: 32534610
Plant Sci. 2020 Jun;295:110467. doi: 10.1016/j.plantsci.2020.110467. Epub 2020 Mar 18.

Crop diversity and stability of revenue on farms in Central Europe: An analysis of big data from a comprehensive agricultural census in Bavaria.

PloS one

Weigel R, Koellner T, Poppenborg P, Bogner C.
PMID: 30452486
PLoS One. 2018 Nov 19;13(11):e0207454. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0207454. eCollection 2018.

Diversity of agricultural landscapes is important to maintain the provision of ecosystem services. In face of decreasing support measures for agricultural markets in the European Union, diversified crop portfolios could also offer a possibility to stabilize revenue at farm...

Considering weed management as a social dilemma bridges individual and collective interests.

Nature plants

Bagavathiannan MV, Graham S, Ma Z, Barney JN, Coutts SR, Caicedo AL, De Clerck-Floate R, West NM, Blank L, Metcalf AL, Lacoste M, Moreno CR, Evans JA, Burke I, Beckie H.

Weeds pose severe threats to agricultural and natural landscapes worldwide. One major reason for the failure to effectively manage weeds at landscape scales is that current Best Management Practice guidelines, and research on how to improve such guidelines, focus...

Disclosing the future food security risk of China based on crop production and water scarcity under diverse socioeconomic and climate scenarios.
