1
In the context of CRISPR-Cas9 applications for crop improvement in 2026, which approach most directly addresses a polygenic quantitative trait like drought tolerance without introducing transgenes?
Question 1
2
A researcher observes that applying a specific synthetic strigolactone analog to the soil significantly suppresses branching in parasitic weeds like Striga but also mildly inhibits shoot branching in the host crop. What is the most precise physiological explanation for this dual effect?
Question 2
3
When implementing a spectral reflectance-based nitrogen status algorithm for a cereal crop, which Vegetation Index (VI) is most specifically sensitive to changes in leaf chlorophyll content while being minimally affected by variations in soil background reflectance during partial canopy cover?
Question 3
4
In a breeding program targeting heat resilience during flowering, a physiologist prioritizes selecting for genotypes that maintain higher grain set under stress. Which underlying physiological trait is most directly and causally linked to this reproductive success?
Question 4
5
A soil analysis reveals a high percentage of exchangeable sodium (ESP > 15) but a low total salt content (ECe < 4 dS/m). Which precise amendment and management strategy is most agronomically sound for reclaiming this soil for crop production?
Question 5
6
The phenomenon of 'transgressive segregation' in a breeding population for yield most specifically refers to:
Question 6
7
In integrated pest management (IPM), the 'economic injury level' (EIL) is formally defined as:
Question 7
