This new edition of a bestseller examines plant nutrition's role as one of the most important
limiting factors that must be overcome to optimize food production. Extensively revised and …

Rates of tissue expansion, cell division and progression in the plant cycle are driven by
temperature, following common Arrhenius‐type response curves.• We analysed the genetic …

Monitoring crop phenology provides essential information for crop management, as well as
for understanding regional to global scale vegetation dynamics. In this study, a hybrid …

Over two growing seasons, a chloroplast localized synthetic glycolate metabolic pathway
expressed in potato, enhanced tuber biomass. We confirmed that this yield benefit did not …

Publisher Summary In this chapter, the focus is on the temperature range between the base
temperature and the ceiling temperature as experienced by a plant in the field or in facilities …

Perennial plants in temperate climates evolved short and long-term strategies to store and
manage reserves in the form of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC; soluble sugars (SC) and …

The simulation of developmental stages is an important part of many crop simulation models
because photoassimilates partitioning to different organs varies with plant developmental …

Mechanistic crop models capable of representing realistic temperature responses of key
physiological processes are necessary for enhancing our ability to forecast crop yields and …

El trabajo se desarrolló en el Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Agrícolas (INCA) con el objetivo
