Available phosphorus (AP) is a key macropollutant predictor of ecosystem services as well crucial indicator soil productivity. Long-term applications this macronutrient and its implications on sustainability in the face peak harvest have raised some concerns recent years. This study aimed to characterise edaphic AP nearly 15,000 ha Mediterranean basin, an agricultural area whose intensification...

Plants from the genus Desmodium, in particular D. uncinatum, are used on sub-Saharan small-holder farms as intercrops to inhibit parasitism of cereal crops by Striga hermonthica and Striga asiatica via an allelopathic mechanism. The search for Desmodium species which are adapted to more arid conditions, and which show resilience to increased drought stress, previously identified D. intortum, D....

This study identified single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers associated with 15 complex traits in a breeding population of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) consisting of 137 recombinant chromosome substitution lines (RCSL), evaluated under contrasting water availability conditions in the Mediterranean climatic region of central Chile. Given that markers showed a very strong segregation distort...
