Environmental and genetic control of morphogenesis in crops: towards models simulating phenotypic plasticityCSIRO Publishing - Tập 56 Số 11 - Trang 1289 - 2005
Michaël Dingkuhn, Delphine Luquet, Bénédicte Quilot‐Turion, Philippe de Reffye
As molecular biologists are realising the importance of physiology in understanding functional genomics of quantitative traits, and as physiologists are realising the formidable prospects for improving their phenotypic models with information on the underlying gene networks, researchers worldwide are working on linked physiological–genetic models. These efforts are in their early methodo...... hiện toàn bộ
The Avon River Basin in 2050: scenario planning in the Western Australian WheatbeltCSIRO Publishing - Tập 56 Số 6 - Trang 563 - 2005
Michael H. O’Connor, Mike McFarlane, James Fisher, Donald G. MacRae, EC Lefroy
Scenario planning was used to identify issues and drivers of change that are relevant to community efforts to improve regional prospects in the Western Australian Wheatbelt. The region, some 20 million hectares in area, is under pressure to respond to a variety of environmental (salinity, erosion, acidification, biodiversity decline), economic (declining agricultural terms of trade), and...... hiện toàn bộ
Changes in organic matter and pH in a podzolic soil as influenced by subterranean clover and superphosphateCSIRO Publishing - Tập 8 Số 2 - Trang 179 - 1957
CH Williams, CM Donald
A further investigation has been made on soils examined by Donald and Williams (1955) in a survey of the influence of superphosphate and subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) on podzolic soils formed on granodiorite in the Crookwell district of New South Wales. The soil organic matter was found to have approximately constant proportions of carbon, nitrogen, sulphur, and phosphor...... hiện toàn bộ
Crop responses to lime in long-term pasture-crop rotations in a high rainfall area in south-eastern AustraliaCSIRO Publishing - Tập 52 Số 3 - Trang 329 - 2001
Guangdi Li, K. R. Helyar, Mark Conyers, B. R. Cullis, P. D. Cregan, R. P. Fisher, L. J. C. Castleman, Graeme Poile, C. M. Evans, B. D. Braysher
A long-term trial, known as ‘managing acid soils through efficient
rotations’ (MASTER), commenced in 1992 to develop and demonstrate a
cropping system that is economically viable on the highly acid soils of the
traditional permanent pasture region in south-eastern Australia, so that their
fertility is sustained or improved. There were 2 permanent pasture systems and
2 pasture–crop rotatio...... hiện toàn bộ
Pasture and sheep responses to lime application in a grazing experiment in a high-rainfall area, south-eastern Australia. I. Pasture productionCSIRO Publishing - Tập 57 Số 10 - Trang 1045 - 2006
Guangdi Li, K. R. Helyar, S. J. Welham, Mark Conyers, L. J. C. Castleman, R. P. Fisher, C. M. Evans, B. R. Cullis, P. D. Cregan
‘Managing Acid Soils Through Efficient Rotations (MASTER)’ is a long-term pasture–crop rotation experiment commenced in 1992. One of the objectives was to demonstrate the extent of crop, pasture, and animal responses to lime on a typical acidic soil in the 500–800 mm rainfall zone in south-eastern Australia. Two types of pastures (perennial v. annual pastures) with or without lime applic...... hiện toàn bộ
Reducing rumen methane emissions through elimination of rumen protozoaCSIRO Publishing - Tập 50 Số 8 - Trang 1321 - 1999
R. S. Hegarty
Methanogens living on and within rumen ciliate protozoa may be responsible for
up to 37% of the rumen methane emissions. In the absence of protozoa,
rumen methane emissions are reduced by an average of 13% but this
varies with diet. Decreased methane emissions from the protozoa-free rumen may
be a consequence of: (1) reduced ruminal dry matter
digestion; (2) a decreased methanogen populat...... hiện toàn bộ
Birth weight, liveweight gain in early life, and subsequent gain in sheep and cattleCSIRO Publishing - Tập 19 Số 5 - Trang 837 - 1968
I. D. Wardrop
The relationships between birth weight, liveweight gain in early life, and subsequent gain of cattle and sheep grazing improved pastures were studied. In both species the correlations between liveweights at each age were highly significant. For female lambs, but not for males, birth weight was significantly correlated with the subsequent liveweight gain to 3 weeks, and this gain was signif...... hiện toàn bộ
Ascochyta blight of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.): a review of biology, pathogenicity, and disease managementCSIRO Publishing - Tập 56 Số 4 - Trang 317 - 2005
S. Pande, Kadambot H. M. Siddique, G. Krishna Kishore, B. Bayaa, Pooran M. Gaur, C L L Gowda, T. W. Bretag, Jonathan H. Crouch
Ascochyta blight (AB), caused by Ascochyta rabiei is a major disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), especially in areas where cool, cloudy, and humid weather persists during the crop season. Several epidemics of AB causing complete yield loss have been reported. The fungus mainly survives between seasons through infected seed and in infected crop debris. Despite extensive pathological...... hiện toàn bộ
The use of plant wax alkanes as marker substances in studies of the nutrition of herbivores: a reviewCSIRO Publishing - Tập 42 Số 6 - Trang 913 - 1991
H. Dove, RW Mayes
This review discusses the potential use of plant wax components, especially n-alkanes, as markers for estimating herbage intake, estimating the botanical composition of consumed herbage and studying digesta kinetics. Previous approaches to making these measurements are discussed briefly. Attention is drawn to the fact that current methods for estimating intake do not adequately allow for d...... hiện toàn bộ
Mineralization of nitrogen and sulphur from sheep faeces.CSIRO Publishing - Tập 12 Số 4 - Trang 644 - 1961
N. J. Barrow
Samples of sheep faeces were mixed with soil and incubated in conditions similar to those in a previous investigation with plant material. Mineralization of' nitrogen and sulphur from faeces is compared with that from plant material. The amount of nitrogen mineralized from faeces was closely related to the total Nitrogen content of the faeces, but faeces were more resistant to decompositio...... hiện toàn bộ
