Assessing the residual benefit of soil-applied zinc on grain zinc nutritional quality of maize grown under contrasting soil types in Malawi. (2023)
Working Paper

A proper understanding of the residual value of zinc (Zn) is necessary for sustainable biofortification of food crops. This study aimed to establish the extent to which application of Zn at the national rate, plus two experimentally elevated rates, i...

Genotypic Response of Finger Millet to Zinc and Iron Agronomic Biofortification, Location and Slope Position Towards Yield (2023)
Working Paper

The present study aimed to investigate influence of genotypic differences to zinc and iron agronomic biofortification responses among yield of finger millet. A field experiment was conducted over two seasons in farmers’ fields in Ethiopia (2019, 2020...

Suberin plasticity to developmental and exogenous cues is regulated by a set of MYB transcription factors (2020)
Working Paper

Suberin is a hydrophobic biopolymer that can be deposited at the periphery of cells, forming protective barriers against biotic and abiotic stress. In roots, suberin forms lamellae at the periphery of endodermal cells where it plays crucial roles in...

Three-dimensional plant architecture and sunlit-shaded patterns: a stochastic model of light dynamics in canopies (2018)
Working Paper

Background and Aims Diurnal changes in solar position and intensity combined with the structural complexity of plant architecture result in highly variable and dynamic light patterns within the plant canopy. This affects productivity through the comp... Read More about Three-dimensional plant architecture and sunlit-shaded patterns: a stochastic model of light dynamics in canopies.
