Sustainably balancing biofuel crop production with food, feed, and fiber on agricultural lands will require developing new cropping strategies. Double‐ and/or relay‐cropping winter camelina ( Camelina sativa L.) soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] may be a means to produce an energy food the same land in single year. A study was conducted between 2009 2011 west central Minnesota evaluate yields, seed quality, economics, within‐field balance of camelina–soybean double‐ systems compared...
Abstract Sustainable intensification of agricultural systems has been suggested – in addition to reducing waste and changing consumption habits as a way increase food, feed, fuel, fiber security the twenty‐first century. Here we describe three primary strategies conventional intensification, temporal spatial how they can be used manage integrate food second‐generation crop portfolios. While each strategy individual merits, combining them meet case‐specific targets may achieve optimum...
Core Ideas Alfalfa–grass mixtures are good alternative to alfalfa and grass monocultures. In the establishment year, dominated mixture, whereas as stands got older, grasses increased their contribution biomass. Alfalfa had higher crude protein, fiber digestibility. improved forage seasonal distribution. The most common binary mixture in northern Great Plains is smooth bromegrass ( Bromus inermis L.) (SBG) with Medicago sativa L.). However, other might have advantages over SBG–alfalfa....
ABSTRACT Aims Persistent land use change throughout the North American Great Plains increases need to maintain and improve ecosystem service delivery from remaining rangelands meet production conservation goals. Vegetation structure is an property influenced by management that has site selection implications for wildlife livestock. In this study, we investigated efficacy of patch‐burn grazing increase structural heterogeneity on semi‐arid post‐Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) grasslands in...
RecQ helicases have attracted considerable interest in recent years due to their role the suppression of genome instability and human diseases. These atypical exert function by resolving a number highly specific DNA structures. The crystal structure truncated catalytic core RECQ1 helicase (RECQ1(49-616)) shows prominent β-hairpin, with an aromatic residue (Y564) at tip, located C-terminal winged-helix domain. Here, we show that β-hairpin is required for unwinding Holliday junction (HJ)...
Nutrient losses and soil erosion after soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) harvest are common in the US Upper Midwest. Cover crops need to provide adequate growth cover prevent degradation throughout winter early spring months. The objective of this study was determine establishment intersown their impacts on a soybean-wheat rotation. Four crops—winter camelina (Camelina sativa Crantz), pea (Pisum sativum ssp. arvense Poir), rye (Secale cereale L.), radish (Raphanus sativus L.)—were directly...
