| simulated effects of crop rotations and residue management on wind erosion in wuchuan, west-central inner mongolia, china. | for decades, wind erosion has triggered dust and sand storms, buffeting beijing and areas of northwestern china to the point of being hazardous to human health while rapidly eroding crop and livestock productivity. the epic (environmental policy integrated climate) field-scale simulation model was used to assess long-term effects of improved crop rotations and crop residue management practices on wind erosion in wuchuan county in inner mongolia. simulation results indicate that preserving crop s ... | 2002 | 12175042 |
| cloning of seed dormancy genes (tasdr) associated with tolerance to pre-harvest sprouting in common wheat and development of a functional marker. | after cloning and mapping of wheat tasdr genes, both the functional markers for tasdr - b1 and tavp - 1b were validated, and the distribution of allelic variations at tasdr - b1 locus in the wheat cultivars from 19 countries was characterized. seed dormancy is a major factor associated with pre-harvest sprouting (phs) in common wheat (triticum aestivum l.). wheat tasdr genes, orthologs of ossdr4 conferring seed dormancy in rice, were cloned by a comparative genomics approach. they were located o ... | 2014 | 24452439 |
