Mechanistic understanding of iron toxicity tolerance in contrasting rice varieties from Africa: 1. Morpho-physiological and biochemical responses
(CSIRO PUBLISHING, 2019-01-21)
Iron (Fe) is a fundamental element involved in various plant metabolic processes. However, when Fe uptake is excessive, it becomes toxic to the plant and disrupts cellular homeostasis. The aim of this study was to determine ...
Effect of nitrogen application on the expression of drought-induced root plasticity of upland NERICA rice
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
This study evaluated the effect of three N fertilization levels 60 (low), 120 (medium), and 180 (high) kg N ha−1 and soil moisture content gradients created by a line-source sprinkler on the expression of plasticity in ...
Interactive influence of rainfall manipulation and livestock grazing on species diversity of the herbaceous layer community in a humid savannah in Kenya
(Elsevier, 2019)
Changes in rainfall regime and grazing pressure affect vegetation composition and diversity with
ecological implications for savannahs. The savannah in East Africa has experienced increased livestock
grazing and rainfall ...
