Identifying mechanisms and pathways involved in gene-environment interplay and phenotypic plasticity is a long-standing challenge. It is highly desirable to establish an integrated framework with an environmental dimension for complex trait dissectio

Productivity of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Uganda is less than 30% of the yield of improved varieties grown on research stations. This yield gap has been attributed mainly to low soil fertility and susceptibility of local varieties saved

Carbon assimilation is the fundamental basis of crop productivity, but this important and complex trait has not been genetically characterized and directly exploited at the commercial level to improve yield. Therefore, there is a critical need to det

The relative permittivity and dielectric strength have been determined for a bisphenol A polycarbonate (BPA-PC), in which a cyanoethyl group has been substituted for one of the geminal dimethyl groups. The new material (CN-PC) has a glass transition

Increasing the water-holding capacity of sandy soils will help improve efficiency of water use in agricultural production, and may be critical for providing enough energy and food for an increasing global population. We hypothesized that addition of

The concentrations of protein and oil in soybean (Glycine max L.) seeds are important factors determining the quality of soybean meal and its competitiveness in international markets. Studies aimed at understanding genetic factors and/or environmenta

Yield formation in maize ( Zea mays L.) dent hybrids has been directly linked to the rate of plant biomass accumulation and partitioning of assimilates to the developing grain. Maize popcorn genotypes have been studied less extensively, but their ker

Lack of adequate soil moisture during seed filling limits seed size in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], generally by shortening the duration of seed fill. Seed growth rate typically remains largely unaffected. The smaller seeds often have increased

We have developed a mathematical model to predict the diurnal pattern of maize (Zea mays L.) pollen shed on the basis of local meteorologi- cal conditions. Our goal is to improve simulations of maize pollen dispersion that have typically released pol
