Industrial crop cultivation on marginal agricultural land limits indirect land-use change effects that pose a threat to food security. This review compiles results from 91 published crop-specific field trial datasets spanning 12 relevant industrial crops and discusses their suitability for unfavorable soil types (USTs). It was shown the perennial species Miscanthus (Miscanthus Andersson) reed c...

The basis used for expression of carbon dioxide exchange rate (CER) of single leaves may alter the relative ranking of genotypes being selected for a breeding program. Therefore, field and growth chamber experiments were conducted on 16 genotypes of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) to determine the relative merit of expressing CER data on a leaf area or leaf weight basis. Genotypes wer...

With the development of industrialization, soils around world have been polluted by heavy metals and oil to different degrees in recent years, soil remediation has become a global problem. Phytoremediation wide application prospect because its environmental friendliness easy availability materials. Objective To explore effects types root exudates on removal cadmium petroleum hydrocarbon soils. ...

Water-soluble carbohydrate composition of mature (ceased expanding) leaf blades and the elongation zone of developing leaf blades was characterized in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), and timothy (Phleum pratense L.). These species were chosen because they differ in mean degree of polymerization (DP) of fructan in the mature leaf blade. Our objective was ...
