Crop art is an environmental art practice using plants and seeds in the landscape to create statements, marks and/or images. Agnes Denes , Matthew Moore (artist), Dennis Oppenheim and Stan Herd are practitioners of Crop art.
Evolutionary plant breeding describes practices which use mass populations with diverse genotypes grown under competitive natural selection. Survival in common crop cultivation environments is the predominant method of selection, rather than direct selection by growers and breeders.
Selective breeding (also called artificial selection) is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits (characteristics) by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together.
The mode of reproduction of a crop determines its genetic composition, which, in turn, is the deciding factor to develop suitable breeding and selection methods. Knowledge of mode of reproduction is also essential for its artificial manipulation to breed improved types.
Most approaches to crop improvement, including conventional breeding, genome modification and gene editing, rely primarily on the fundamental processes of DNA repair and recombination. [10] Our current understanding of DNA repair and recombination mechanisms in plants was derived largely from prior studies in prokaryotes , yeast and animals, so ...
New York’s art auctions in the spring and fall could be a sign of things to come for the global art market, according to Woodham. The stock market has seen a rally since the election, fueled by ...
While we knew that FarmVille 2 was in development at Zynga, any major details about the game were kept under wraps until today's sudden launch. Now that we've had a chance to dive into our new 3D ...
Stan Herd (born 1950 in Protection, Kansas) [1] is an American crop artist and painter [2] who creates images, or earthworks, on large areas of land, especially in Kansas. His work is sometimes called living sculpture. He plots his designs and then executes them by planting, mowing, and sometimes burning, or plowing the land.
