| crop diversity for yield increase. | traditional farming practices suggest that cultivation of a mixture of crop species in the same field through temporal and spatial management may be advantageous in boosting yields and preventing disease, but evidence from large-scale field testing is limited. increasing crop diversity through intercropping addresses the problem of increasing land utilization and crop productivity. in collaboration with farmers and extension personnel, we tested intercropping of tobacco, maize, sugarcane, potato ... | 2009 | 19956624 |
| complete genome sequence of a new isolate of potato virus m in yunnan, china. | the complete genome sequence of a new potato virus m (pvm) isolate (pvm-yn), collected from potato (solanum tuberosum) in yunnan, china, was determined. it was 8,530 nucleotides (nt) in length, excluding the poly(a) tail at the 3' end, and shared 71.4-72.0% nucleotide sequence identity with available pvm isolates in the ncbi database. the coat proteins (cp) of pvm-yn shared 79.0-97.4% amino acid sequence identity with that of other isolates. it is the first report of the complete genomic sequenc ... | 2017 | 28455669 |
