The maize-soybean intercropping system has become increasingly popular in many areas
of the world, particularly in China, due to its high productivity and the harvest of two different …

Certain low pathogenic avian influenza viruses can mutate to highly pathogenic viruses
when they circulate in domestic poultry, at which point they can cause devastating poultry …

Intercropping improves crop productivity in dryland farms, but little information is available on
its application to irrigated land. Therefore, a three-year field trial was conducted to compare …

Phytohormones regulate numerous important biological processes in plant development
and biotic/abiotic stress response cascades. More than 50 and 100 years have passed since …

Abscisic acid ( ABA ) and gibberellins ( GA s) are plant hormones which antagonistically
mediate numerous physiological processes, and their optimal balance is essential for normal …

Maize–soybean intercropping is a common system in several countries. However, different
spatial patterns of maize and soybean can directly affect the light environment of soybean …

Aboveground and belowground interactions are crucial in the over-yielding of intercropping
systems. However, the relative effects of aboveground and belowground interactions on …

Camelina ( C amelina sativa), a B rassicaceae oilseed, has received recent interest as a
biofuel crop and production platform for industrial oils. Limiting wider production of camelina for …

Understanding the precise regulatory mechanisms of plant development and stress
responses at the post-translational level is currently a topic of intensive research. Protein …

Global climate change is strongly associated with variations in precipitation and flooding
events. Flooding usually causes submergence- or partial submergence stress in plants, which …
