Cover crop potential of pea lines derived from crosses with nodulation mutants Open
Over the past century, numerous studies have addressed the physiology and genetics of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in legumes—targeting improvements through screening of existing germplasm, hybridization, and mutagenesis. Although th…

Optimal timing for fava bean planting, pod harvesting, and termination in Northern California Open
Fava bean has been cultivated as a grain, vegetable, and cover crop in California for more than a century. Despite a decline in popularity as a grain, many growers are taking a second look to satisfy demands for vegetable fava bean (pod) a…

Plasma-fixed Nitrogen Improves Lettuce Field Holding Potential Open
This study shows that plasma-fixed nitrogen applied as an inorganic biostimulant can improve marketable lettuce ( Lactuca sativa var. longifolia ) yield following delayed harvest. Using just one-tenth of the conventional nitrogen, plasma-f…

Plasma Fixed Nitrogen (PFN) Improves Lettuce Field Holding Potential Open
We show that plasma fixed nitrogen (PFN) as a biostimulant can improve marketable lettuce yield following delayed harvest. Using just one-tenth of the conventional nitrogen, PFN, generated by a dielectric barrier discharge over water, was …

Potential of Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) for Dual-purpose Vegetable Production and Cover Cropping Open
Cover cropping has been strongly promoted, but few growers have realized the benefits of this practice due to challenges linked to economic returns and whole-system management. In the western United States, winter legumes including faba be…

Exploration of global faba bean germplasm for agronomic and nitrogen fixation traits Open
The growing regional and global interests in legume crops for cover cropping and sustainable agriculture has provided new opportunities for growers to incorporate faba bean ( Vicia faba L.) into their production systems. Much of faba bean'…

Using δ<sup>15</sup>N to screen for nitrogen fixation: Reference plant position and species Open
The δ 15 N natural abundance technique is frequently used to quantify the proportion of legume nitrogen derived from atmospheric fixation (%Ndfa). This method compares the δ 15 N of a legume with a nonlegume reference plant to estimate the…

Accelerated senescence and nitrogen remobilization in flag leaves enhance nitrogen use efficiency in soft red winter wheat Open
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production requires a large amount of nitrogen (N) supply because growers aim to achieve high grain yield and appropriate grain protein content simultaneously. A comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms th…

Identification of quantitative trait loci associated with nitrogen use efficiency in winter wheat Open
Maintaining winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) productivity with more efficient nitrogen (N) management will enable growers to increase profitability and reduce the negative environmental impacts associated with nitrogen loss. Wheat breed…

Physiological Traits and Quantitative Trait Loci Associated with Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Soft Red Winter Wheat Open
Development of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars capable of more efficient uptake and utilization of applied nitrogen (N) has the potential to increase grower profitability and reduce negative environmental consequences associa…
