Identification of RFLP and NBS/PK profiling markers for disease resistance loci in genetic maps of oats
Two of the domains most widely shared among R genes are the nucleotide binding site (NBS) and protein kinase (PK) domains. The present study describes and maps a number of new oat resistance gene analogues (RGAs)...

Ammonia and methane emissions from a dairy farm in Segovia (Spain)
A large proportion of the NH3 emitted locally is deposited in the immediate neighbourhood of the source rather than transported over long distances. A realistic distribution of NH3 sources and sinks requires quan...

Ozone Sensitivity Differences in Five Tomato Cultivars: Visible Injury and Effects on Biomass and Fruits
Five tomato cultivars (Nikita, Ailsa Craig, Moneymaker, UC 82 L and Piedmont) were exposed in open-top chambers to three ozone treatments: charcoal-filtered air (F); non-filtered air (NF); and non-filtered air...

Europe-wide reduction in primary productivity caused by the heat and drought in 2003
The European heatwave in the summer of 2003 was probably the hottest in the region since AD 1500. Its immediate effects are well documented: the Earth Policy Institute has estimated that it caused at least 35,000...
