Diversification of Andean crop systems at local and landscape scales: enhancing biological control of potato pests (Project)

Current agricultural practices have caused serious ecological problems that affect agricultural sustainability by reducing ecological functions and biodiversity. There is evidence that the density of natural enemies of crop pests is related to high biodiversity. This has been shown for landscape-scale management practices (augmenting landscape complexity) and for intercropping systems (augmenting...

Dissolved carbon as a component of net biome productivity of major land use systems (Project)

Atmosphere-based estimates of carbon (C) sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems are larger than land-based estimates, which is attributed to `missing fluxes¿ that are not accounted for in present analysis. The transfer of dissolved organic and inorganic C from terrestrial settings to the hydrosphere through soils might well explain the differences in estimates of C sequestration. However,...

Derivation of livestock stem cells for applications in basic research, functional genomics, reproductive technology, biotechnology and biomedicine (Project)

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are valuable biomedical research tools, allowing the creation of disease models, study of biological and disease processes and analysis of genome function. By understanding cellular differentiation, ES cells and also adult multipotent stem cells can facilitate the development of cellular therapies. Thus far, the mouse has been the focus for this work, although ES cells...

Integrated land system modelling (Project)

Various drivers affect the dynamics of land systems at the regional level and have therefore to be captured in land system modelling. Climate factors affect biophysical processes directly (for example, temperature and atmospheric CO2 change the rate of photosynthesis) and indirectly (for example, increasing temperature and change in precipitation alter the conditions for possible crop rotations...

Characterization of rDNA transcriptional activity in pre-implantation bovine embryos (Project)

Information on the patterns of gene expression during initial embryonic development has become an important tool for understanding how embryo technological procedures may cause deviations in gene expression that can be detrimental for further embryonic development. In the present project rDNA transcription, development of nucleoli, interactions of proteins involved in RNA poll transcription and...
