Bacteria able to control foot and root rot and to promote growth of cucumber in salinated soils (2011, background): “One of the possible measures to improve crop health is to use salt-tolerant bacterial inoculants which can control diseases (biological control agents) and/or promote plant growth (plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria) (Thomashow and Weller 1996; Lugtenberg and Kamilova 2004; Mayak et al. 2004; Haas”
Colchicine-induced chromosome doubling in Platanus acerifolia and its effect on plant morphology (2007, unknown): “This has been achieved in a range of plants (e.g. Garg et al. 1996; Thomas et al. 2000; Bhojwani 2004), but is technically demanding and, even where possible, the rate of success is generally very low.”
Domestication and Breeding of Tomatoes: What have We Gained and What Can We Gain in the Future? (2007, background): “With advances in genome mapping and quantitative genetic analyses, the genetic basis is being dissected for traits that are related to domestication in many crops (Poncet et al., 2004).”
Rice yields in tropical/subtropical Asia exhibit large but opposing sensitivities to minimum and maximum temperatures (2010, background): “8 billion Asians, and account for 40% of global rice supply (25).”
