Biogeochemical mechanisms of P and C cycling in rice-paddy systems driven by enzymatic reactions and the Fe(III)-Fe(II) redox wheel
(2022-11-16)Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the predominant food sources and is mainly cultivated on flooded paddy soils. However, finite and dwindling phosphate rock, the main source of phosphorus (P) fertilizer, becomes increasingly ... -
Biological and Biochemical Transformation of Nutrients in Agricultural Soils of Yucatan, Mexico
(2008-03-26)The soils of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, which are subject to diverse kinds of agricultural practices, have shown over time a decline in their fertility. The climate of the region (semi-arid) with scarce rainfall, ... -
Biological Detoxification of Enniatins
(2017-01-09)Summary: Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi. Enniatins are a group of cyclohexadepsipeptides made of three hydroxyisovaleric acid molecules and alternating amino acids mostly valine, leucine and isoleucine. ... -
Biology of Pentastiridius leporinus and approaches to control the main vector of the syndrome ‘basses richesses’ in sugar beet
(2023-08-15)Pentastiridius leporinus (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) is the main vector of Syndrome ‘basses richesses’ (SBR), a fast spreading sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) disease in Central Europe. The disease is caused by two procaryotic phloem ... -
Biomass, root distribution and overyielding potential of faba bean/wheat and white clover/ryegrass mixtures
(2019-02-11)Mixtures of legumes and non-legumes are often characterized by higher grain and biomass yields compared to their pure stands. Complementarity between plant species is assumed to be the major driver behind this aboveground ... -
Biomedical Applications and Secondary Metabolite Profiling of Hyoscyamus niger and Sesamum indicum Seed, Root and Hairy Root Cultures
(2020-12-11)Nature has been known to be a rich source of pharmacologically essential compounds over the years. Phytochemical studies have revealed a large number of natural products with a unique chemical structure and important medical ... -
Biosynthesis and biological function of phosphonates in Fusarium spp.
(2018-04-09)Phosphonates are natural or synthetic compounds with a direct carbon-phosphorus bond. Their similarity to the abundant phosphate esters and carboxylic acids and the stability of the C-P bond makes them suitable for diverse ... -
Biotic and abiotic controls on microbial activity, functionality and processes in soil hotspots
(2021-08-23)When a carbon (C) source is added to a soil volume and causes microorganisms to thrive, a microbial hotspot is formed — a microsite with much higher process rates than the surrounding bulk soil. The formation, size, and ... -
Bird Diversity, Functions and Services across Indonesian Land-use Systems
(2016-05-20)In tropical regions, rampant land-use conversion for agriculture threatens biodiversity hotspots. Forests are vanishing, and taxonomic diversity is severely affected by the transformation on a large scale. For mitigating ... -
Birds, bats and arthropods in tropical agroforestry landscapes: Functional diversity, multitrophic interactions and crop yield
(2014-04-03)Ecosystem services such as the suppression of pest insects may increase productivity of agroforestry systems and thereby increase well-being of smallholders. Tropical birds and bats are effective predators of arthropods ... -
Bodenschutz in der deutschen Landwirtschaft - Stand und Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten
(2004-08-23)Soil is one of the most important agents of production for the agriculture and for the society through the supply with important food. In spite of the legal protection in Germany, soil is ... -
Brassica - Wildarten als neue genetische Ressource für die Rapszüchtung
(2011-12-14)The genetic base in the material which is available in rapeseed breeding is very limited in comparison with other crops such as wheat or maize which are used for a very long time by humans. ... -
Breeding for a reduced glucosinolate content in the green mass of rapeseed to improve its suitability for biogas production
(2011-08-03)Brassica napus L., a plant that belongs to the Brassicaceae family is one of the main oil crops. Inside its seeds glucosinolates appear to be the main secondary glycoside, sugar containing ... -
Breeding for Improved Flavour of Fresh Market Tomatoes: Breeders' Sensory Test and Molecular Markers
(2023-12-01)Until recently, flavour was not a primary breeding target in tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.). However, the poor flavour of tomatoes is a major cause of consumer complains. Flavour results from a complex interaction ... -
Butterfly diversity and land manager decision-making in critically endangered South African renosterveld
(2022-07-11)Addressing global biodiversity loss requires understanding complex human-nature relations. This is imperative in global biodiversity hotspots, areas that contain exceptional endemism and have lost significant amounts of ... -
C, P and water dynamics in Mycorrhiza
(2005-10-25)For a better understanding of the potential of the mycorrhizal symbiosis and to ease its utilisation in the practise, some major events were investigated. Of these, are the coherence between ... -
Calculating air exchange rates from broiler livestock houses
(2005-09-26)Air exchange rates (AERs) were calculated from 2 full sized broiler houses. The first broiler house was a Louisiana stall (natural ventilation) and the second a mechanically ventilated ... -
Can modern food retailers improve diets and nutrition in urban Africa? Empirical evidence from Zambia
(2020-06-03)In many developing countries, food environments are changing rapidly, with modern food retailers – such as supermarkets and convenience stores – increasingly replacing or complementing traditional food retailers. In ...
