Silage maize cultivation in Central Europe offers significant potential for improving nitrogen (N) efficiency, but quantifying N savings under current fertilization regulations and identifying further opportunities for improvement remain crucial. This study addresses these gaps by analyzing the influence of site-specific and management factors on the economically optimal N fertilization rate (EONR). EONR was calculated for 223...
Optimizing nitrogen (N) efficiency in European silage maize cultivation requires better quantification of N savings beyond existing regulations and identifying further opportunities to enhance efficiency. This study focuses on understanding how site and management factors influence net N mineralization. A comprehensive dataset from silage maize field trials across five Central European countries was analyzed using a multistage...
Beyond mobility: A prospective study on diet and metabolism in hereditary spastic paraplegiaNARA Subscribed
Metabolism plays an important role in neurodegenerative diseases. Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are a heterogeneous group of rare genetic neurodegenerative disorders, commonly characterized by the clinical syndrome of progressive lower limb spasticity and mobility loss. Obesity has been linked to distinct genotypes, but the role of metabolism and nutrition in HSP remains unclear.We aimed to To evaluate metabolism and nu...
Salix species and varieties affect the molecular composition and diversity of soil organic matterNARA Subscribed
Background and aims Most studies of the relationships between the composition of soil organic matter and plant cover have been carried out at the plant genera level. However, they have largely overlooked the potential effects that plant varieties, belonging to the same genus, can have on soil organic matter. Methods We investigated whether plant varieties belonging to different Salix species ( S. dasyclados and S. viminalis) i...
UAV-based canopy monitoring: calibration of a multispectral sensor for green area index and nitrogen uptake across several cropsNARA Subscribed
The fast and accurate provision of within-season data of green area index ( GAI ) and total N uptake ( total N ) is the basis for crop modeling and precision agriculture. However, due to rapid advancements in multispectral sensors and the high sampling effort, there is currently no existing reference work for the calibration of one UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle)-based multispectral sensor to GAI and total N for silage maize, wi...
Key message Three independent experiments with different genetic backgrounds mapped the resistance gene Pm7 in the oat genome to the distal part of the long arm of chromosome 5D. Abstract Resistance of oat to Blumeria graminis DC. f. sp. avenae is an important breeding goal in Central and Western Europe. In this study, the position of the effective and widely used resistance gene Pm7 in the oat genome was determined based on t...
Citizen science’s transformative impact on science, citizen empowerment and socio-political processesNARA Subscribed
Citizen science (CS) can foster transformative impact for science, citizen empowerment and socio-political processes. To unleash this impact, a clearer understanding of its current status and challenges for its development is needed. Using quantitative indicators developed in a collaborative stakeholder process, our study provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of CS in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Our onl...
Human Coxsackie- and adenovirus receptor is a putative target of neutrophil elastase-mediated sheddingNARA Subscribed
Background During viral-induced myocarditis, immune cells migrate towards the site of infection and secrete proteases, which in turn can act as sheddases by cleaving extracellular domains of transmembrane proteins. We were interested in the shedding of the Coxsackie- and adenovirus receptor (CAR) that acts as an entry receptor for both eponymous viruses, which cause myocarditis. CAR shedding by secreted immune proteases could...
Future generations of global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) can benefit from optical technologies. Especially optical clocks could back-up or replace the currently used microwave clocks, having the potential to improve GNSS position determination enabled by their lower frequency instabilities. Furthermore, optical clock technologies—in combination with optical inter-satellite links—enable new GNSS architectures, e.g., by...
Genetic variations affecting the course of depressive symptoms in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have not yet been well studied. Therefore, we set out to investigate whether distinct haplotypes of the two insertion/deletion polymorphisms in the serotonin-transporter-linked polymorphic region ( 5-HTTLPR ) and the angiotensin I-converting enzyme ( ACE ) gene located on chromosome 17 can be identified as risk factors...
