Plant breeding has been enormously successful at increasing crop yields over the course of the 20th century, but further progress that would meet increasing demands for food, fuel, and fiber is threatened by global climate change. Because yield is an environmentally-dependent ph…
Cropping systems are composed of a set of crops and their attendant management practices. Addition or removal of a crop from a cropping sequence results in both biophysical and managerial changes, creating complex interactions that can be difficult to study. Long-term field expe…
Genomic structural variants (SV) have a significant impact on phenotypic differences. Characterization of such variants can provide insights into genomic evolution and reveal population dynamics. However, our understanding of structural variants is limited by technical and metho…
Scientists face an unprecedented challenge of increasing food production by 100% within the next fifty years to meet demand while responding to the undetermined effect and impact of climate change. To respond to these challenges, scientists are turning to models to assist them i…
Maize Agroecosystem deals with the agronomy, soil fertility, and productivity of maize. The book includes the history of maize growing, the kinds of soil needed, nutrient dynamics, the use of soil organic matter, the physiology and genetics of maize, and integrated nutrient mana…
