Barnes, A. P.; Wreford, A.; Butterworth, M. H.; Semenov, M.A.; Moran, D.; Evans, Neal; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2010-12)Various adaptation strategies are available that will minimize or negate predicted climate change-related increases in yield loss from phoma stem canker in UK winter oilseed rape (OSR) production. A number of forecasts for ... -
Adapting to climate change : Assessing the vulnerability of ecosystem services in Europe in the context of rural development
Tzilivakis, John; Warner, Douglas; Green, Andrew; Lewis, Kathleen (2015-04-30)Over the past decade, efforts to move towards a low carbon economy have been increasingly coupled with the acknowledgement that we also need to develop climate resilient economies, capable of adapting and responding to ... -
Additives for the enhancement of fusion and endocytosis in higher plant protoplasts : An electrophoretic study
Grout, B.W.W.; Coutts, Robert H.A. (1974-06-01)A range of additives has been employed to enhance both endocytosis and fusion in isolated higher plant protoplast systems. The effects of these compounds, at various concentrations, on the electrical properties of the ... -
Addressing policy challenges for more sustainable local-global food chains : policy frameworks and possible food ‘futures’
Smith, Julie; Lang, Tim; Vorley, B.; Barling, David (2016-03-25)The article considers how policy can address the local–global within a wider commitment to food sustainability and draws on research conducted for the EU-funded GLAMUR project (Global and local food assessment: a ... -
Adhesion of Pasteuria penetrans to the cuticle of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) inhibited by fibronectin : A study of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions
Davies, Keith; Afolabi, P.; O'Shea, P. (1996-05)Pasteuria penetrans is a bacterium with the potential to control plant-parasitic nematode populations; the mechanism of spore adhesion, however, is poorly understood. Attachment assays were performed in media supplemented ... -
