The objective of this study ... -
Sustainable strawberry production including the use of a rule based prediction system for controlling Strawberry Powdery Mildew
Liu, Bo; Hall, Avice; Davies, Keith (2013-12-18)UK strawberry production could be viewed as an example of sustainable intensification through the precision use of varieties, nutrients and polythene tunnels. Powdery mildew, Podosphaera aphanis, is a major fungal disease ... -

Peptide nucleic acid and expressed antisense RNA silencers successfully inhibited actinorhodin production. Synthetic ... -
Systematic reappraisal of marsh-orchids native to Scotland
Bateman, Richard M.; Denholm, Ian; McLeod, Lindsey; Craig, William; Ennos, Richard A. (2023-05-18)The intensively studied Eurasian orchid genus Dactylorhiza has become a model system for exploring allopolyploid evolution, yet determining the optimal circumscriptions of, and most appropriate ranks for, its constituent ... -
A systematic review and quantitative analysis of resting energy expenditure prediction equations in healthy overweight and obese children and adolescents
Chima, Lucy; Mulrooney, Hilda M; Warren, Janet; Madden, Angela (2020-02-19)Background: Resting energy expenditure (REE) estimates are often needed in young people and can be predicted using prediction equations based on body weight. However, these equations may perform poorly in those who are ... -

Three-Dimensional Study of F. graminearum Colonisation of Stored Wheat: Post-Harvest Growth Patterns, Dry Matter Losses and Mycotoxin Contamination
Portell, Xavier; Verheecke-Vaessen, Carol; torrelles-Rafales, Rosa; Medina, Angel; Otten, Wilfred; Magan, Naresh; Garcia-Cela, Esther (2020-08-01)Fusarium causes significant post-harvest quality losses and mycotoxin contamination instored wheat but the colonisation dynamics of the grain and how this may be affected by the initialinoculum position in the grain mass ... -
Tillage, Glyphosate and Beneficial Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi: Optimising Crop Management for Plant–Fungal Symbiosis
Wilkes, Thomas; Warner, Douglas; Davies, Keith; Edmonds-Brown, Veronica (2020-11-03)Zero till cropping systems typically apply broad-spectrum herbicides such as glyphosate as an alternative weed control strategy to the physical inversion of the soil provided by cultivation. Glyphosate targets 5-enolpyru ... -
Time‐lapse photogrammetry reveals hydrological controls of fine‐scale High‐Arctic glacier surface roughness evolution
Irvine‐Fynn, Tristram D. L.; Holt, Tom O.; James, Timothy D.; Smith, Mark W.; Rutter, Nick; Porter, Philip R.; Hodson, Andrew J. (2022-02-23)In a warming Arctic, as glacier snowlines rise, short‐ to medium‐term increases in seasonal bare‐ice extent are forecast for the next few decades. These changes will enhance the importance of turbulent energy fluxes for ... -
Traditional Design Principles of a Groundwater Irrigation System in the Foothills of the Western Ghats of Southwest India
Crook, Darren; Tripathi, Sudhir; Jones, Richard (2020-11-30)This paper presents the traditional design principles of the suranga water harvesting system found in an area of semi-critical groundwater scarcity in the Dakshin Kannada district of Karnataka and Kasaragod district in ... -
