Super rice breeding in China has been very successful over the past 3 decades, and the Chinese government has made great efforts to support breeding and cultivation of both conventional and hybrid super rice. In this review, we focus on the progress in and potential of super rice breeding. After the...

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) promotes industrial development and economic complementarities among countries, increasing demand for energy resources. However, developing these resources can result in numerous ecological and environmental issues, such as ecological degradation, landscape fragmen...

It is of great importance to solve the threats induced by cadmium pollution on crops. This paper examined the effect of biochar on cadmium accumulation in japonica rice and revealed the mechanism underlying the response of protective enzyme system to cadmium stress. Biochar derived from rice straw w...

Wheat and maize are increasingly used as alternative crops to sunflower monocultures that dominate the Hetao Irrigation District in China. Shifts from sunflower monocultures to alternate cropping systems may have significant effects on below-ground microbial communities which control nutrient cyclin...

Taiwan’s high-tech industry is experiencing rapid labor restructuring driven by automation and technological advancement, resulting in increased job demands and workplace stress. In this context, identifying mechanisms that sustain employee performance has become a critical concern. Drawing on the c...

Beef consumption in China has increased substantially from 5.0 million tons in 2000 to 7.7 million tons in 2019 thanks to rapid income growth, but still remains low compared to pork and poultry consumption. Improving the understanding about the impacts of household income on beef consumption in Chin...

The world's population is facing food shortages due to climate change and the competition for arable land between food and energy crops. Many national and international projects to develop “super rice” cultivars were established in recent decades to attain a ‘third leap forward’ in rice product...

Drought is a major natural disaster causing crop yield losses, while its occurrence mechanism and spatiotemporal variations in a changing climate are still not clear. Based on a long-term climatic dataset (during 1958–2015) from weather stations in the North China Plain (NCP), the influencing mechan...

Adequate freshwater supply has become an issue of increasing local and international concern. Reducing water use in agriculture, which is the largest water using sector of the economy, is both important and urgent. The aim of this paper was to quantify how recent cropping pattern changes have influe...

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic heavy metals in the environment. Atmospheric deposition has been found to be the main source of Cd pollution of soil on a large scale in China, and identification of the relationships between anthropogenic emission, atmospheric deposition, and Cd accumulation in...

Excessive use of N fertilizer in intensive agriculture can increase crop yield and at the same time cause high carbon (C) emissions. This study was conducted to determine optimized N fertilizer application for high grain yield and lower C emissions in summer corn (Zea mays L.). A field experiment, i...

Abundant genetic diversity and rational population structure of germplasm benefit crop breeding greatly. To investigate genetic variation among geographically diverse set of japonica germplasm, we analyzed 233 japonica rice cultivars collected from Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces of China...

The additions of straw and biochar have been suggested to increase soil fertility, carbon sequestration, and crop productivity of agricultural lands. To our knowledge, there is little information on the effects of straw and biochar addition on soil nitrogen form, carbon storage, and super rice yield...

This paper estimates a stochastic frontier function using a panel data set that includes 4 961 farmer households for the period of 2005–2009 to decompose the growth of grain production and the total factor productivity (TFP) growth at the farmer level. The empirical results show that the major contr...

Abstract Air pollution is recognized as a risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases, but the effects of acute exposure and subsequent recovery from traffic-related air pollution remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the acute and recovery effects of diesel exhaust particle (DEP) exposure...

Physical fitness has consistently been linked to cognitive and academic performance, with sustained attention recognized as a key predictor of academic success (DOI 10.1123/apaq.2019-0108). However, few studies have explored whether sustained attention moderate the relationship between physical fitn...

Cytoplasmic effects are important agronomical phenomena that have generated widespread interest in both theory and application. In the present study, five high yield rice cultivars (Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica) in large-scale cultivation in northeast China were determined to possess Oryza sativa L...
