| multi-scale measurements show limited soil greenhouse gas emissions in kenyan smallholder coffee-dairy systems. | efforts have been made in recent years to improve knowledge about soil greenhouse gas (ghg) fluxes from sub-saharan africa. however, data on soil ghg emissions from smallholder coffee-dairy systems have not hitherto been measured experimentally. this study aimed to quantify soil ghg emissions at different spatial and temporal scales in smallholder coffee-dairy farms in murang'a county, central kenya. ghg measurements were carried out for one year, comprising two cropping seasons, using vented st ... | 2018 | 29348066 |
| genome-wide association study reveals candidate genes influencing lipids and diterpenes contents in coffea arabica l. | lipids, including the diterpenes cafestol and kahweol, are key compounds that contribute to the quality of coffee beverages. we determined total lipid content and cafestol and kahweol concentrations in green beans and genotyped 107 coffea arabica accessions, including wild genotypes from the historical fao collection from ethiopia. a genome-wide association study was performed to identify genomic regions associated with lipid, cafestol and kahweol contents and cafestol/kahweol ratio. using the d ... | 2018 | 29323254 |
| effects of alternative cropping systems on globe artichoke qualitative traits. | traditionally, globe artichoke cultivation in the mediterranean basin is based on monoculture and on use of high amounts of nitrogen fertiliser. this raises issues regarding its compatibility with sustainable agriculture. we studied the effect of one typical conventional (conv) and two alternative cropping systems [globe artichoke in sequence with french bean (ncv1), or in biannual rotation (ncv2) with cauliflower and with a leguminous cover crop in inter-row spaces] on yield, polyphenol and min ... | 2018 | 28722756 |
