Analysis of Camelina sativa transcriptomes identified specific transcription factors and processes associated with freezing tolerance in a winter biotype Open
Camelina (Camelina sativa L., Crantz) is an oilseed crop consisting of both spring- and winter-biotypes. Winter biotypes of camelina need a low-temperature treatment to acquire freezing tolerance and floral competence. However, spring biot…
Ecological Intensification of Food Production by Integrating Forages Open
Forage crops have the potential to serve multiple functions, providing an ecological framework to sustainably intensify food production, i.e., ecological intensification. We review three categories of forages (annual forages, perennial for…
Production Efficiency and Total Protein Yield in Quinoa Grown under Water Stress Open
The increasing water scarcity affects the agricultural sector, and it is a significant constraining factor for crop production in many areas of the world. Water resource management and use related to crop productivity is the most important…

Alfalfa Established Successfully in Intercropping with Corn in the Midwest US Open
Integrating alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) with corn (Zea mays L.) for grain will increase biodiversity, reduce the negative environmental impact of corn monoculture and increase farm profitability. The objectives of this research were to ev…
Intercropping Alfalfa into Silage Maize Can Be More Profitable Than Maize Silage Followed by Spring-Seeded Alfalfa Open
Intercropping of silage maize (Zea mays L.) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is not a common practice because alfalfa generally reduces maize grain and biomass yield. The objective of this research was to evaluate the productivity and prof…
Soybean Relative Maturity, Not Row Spacing, Affected Interseeded Cover Crops Biomass Open
Adoption of cover crop interseeding in the northwestern Corn Belt in the USA is limited due to inadequate fall moisture for establishment, short growing season, additional costs, and need for adapted winter-hardy species. This study evalua…
Factors Affecting the Establishment and Growth of Cover Crops Intersown into Maize (Zea mays L.) Open
In the North Central USA, intersowing cover crops into standing maize (Zea mays L.) is required to establish plants large enough to afford the benefits of a cover since there is limited favorable weather for cover crop growth after maize h…

Interseeded pennycress and camelina yield and influence on row crops Open
Field pennycress ( Thlaspi arvense L.) (PC) and winter camelina [ Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] (WC) have the potential to provide ecosystem services and economic incentives when adopted as an oilseed cover crops in corn ( Zea mays L.)–soyb…
Interseeding Camelina and Rye in Soybean with Varying Maturity Provides Soil Cover without Affecting Soybean Yield Open
Low adoption to utilize cover crops interseeded into soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), in the northern Plains in the USA, is due to a short growing season and a few adapted winter-hardy species. The objective was to evaluate the impact of …
