Dissection of crop metabolome responses to nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrient deficiencies by Xue, Yingbin, Zhu, Shengnan, Schultze-Kraft, Rainer, Liu, Guodao, Chen, Zhijian

“…Thus, it is of great importance to understand the mechanisms of crop response to mineral nutrient deficiencies, as a basis to contribute to genetic improvement and breeding of crop varieties with high nutrient efficiency for sustainable agriculture. With the advent of large-scale omics approaches, the metabolome based on mass spectrometry has been employed as a powerful and useful technique to dissect the biochemical, molecular, and genetic bases of metabolisms in many crops. …”

A spatially predictive logistic regression model for occurrence of theileriosis outbreaks in Zimbabwe by Pfeiffer, Dirk U., Duchateau, L., Kruska, Russell L., Ushewokunze-Obatolu, U., Perry, Brian D.

“…The unit of interest in this context usually is an aggregate of spatial information such as an administrative district, province or state. With the advent of spatial databases and geographic information systems (GIS) the level of spatial aggregation can be easily controlled by the end user and is only limited by the spatial units at which the data has been collected. …”
