Abstract:
... Notiomastodon platensis was an endemic South American proboscidean, which could reach about six tons and had a mixed feeder diet with predominance of C₄ grasses in Brazilian Intertropical Region (BIR). In the last decades, its feeding behavior has been rebuilt mainly through dental calculus, enamel microwear and stable isotope analyses. However, all these techniques allow us to know only punctual ...

Abstract:
... Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a diverse C4 crop used for feed, food and grain- or juice-based bioethanol, with potential for lignocellulosic biofuels. Sorghum is inherently drought tolerant, but it is vulnerable to stalk rots caused by Fusarium thapsinum and Macrophomina phaseolina, especially during water stress. Post-flowering non-senescent lines (Stay-green), associated with drought ...
