Link between the number of grazing days and the mineral nitrogen fluxes in grazing systems
The Moorepark St. Gilles grass growth (MoSt GG) model has been developed to predict grass growth taking account of the water and nitrogen (N) fluxes at the paddock level. At grazing, the animal plays a specific role in the N fluxes due to urine and faeces deposition directly on the field. The MoSt GG model has been used to evaluate the effect of N ...
Impact of climate change on grass growth at two sites in Ireland
The MoSt grass growth model was used in conjunction with the group 6 WRF EC-Earth forecast model to predict the change in grass growth between 1986-2000 and 2031-2060. The future weather projection period is composed of two different emission scenarios, a low-medium emission and a high emission. Grass growth and N leaching predictions were obtained...
Mechanisms of vegetative propagation in bulbs : a molecular approach
Vegetative propagation is very important for the survival of species with long juvenile and adult vegetative phases, as it is the case for bulbous plants. Bulbous plants are ornamental geophytes with a bulb as an underground storage organ. Among flower bulbs, tulip and lily are the two commercially leading plants in The Netherlands. Tulip propagate...
In vitro callus-induction in globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus L. var. scolymus) as a system for the production of caf...
Globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus L. var. scolymus) provides a rich dietary source of bio-active compounds derived from phenylpropanoid metabolism, notably caffeoylquinic acids (CQAs) and flavonoids. Micropropagation techniques have been established for this species, but in vitro cultures have not yet been extended to generate an efficient system...
Cryopreservation of chestnut by vitrification of in vitro-grown shoot tips
Published in In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Plant
Plants of European chestnut (Castanea sativa) have been consistently recovered from cryopreserved in vitro-grown shoot apices by using the vitrification procedure. Factors found to influence the success of cryopreservation include the source of the shoot tips (terminal buds or axillary buds), their size, the duration of exposure to the cryoprotecta...

Phytophthora infestans : bescherming van het zich ontwikkelende groeipunt van aardappelplanten door fungiciden
In veld- en potproeven met het aardappelras Bintje onderzocht het PAV in hoeverre de groeipunten van aardappelplanten beschermd zijn tegen phytophthora door voorafgaande bespuiting met verschillende soorten fungiciden (werking systemisch, translaminair of contact). Er zijn aanwijzingen dat groeisnelheid, aantal voorafgaande bespuitingen en type fun...
Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of Lupinus mutabilis L. using shoot apical explants
Published in Acta Physiologiae Plantarum
A procedure for regenerating plants of Lupinus mutabilis from shoot apices, from which the leaf primordia and initial cell layer(s) of the apical meristem were removed, has been used to generate transgenic plants following Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene delivery. Transformation competent cells, from which buds developed, were located at th...
