Societies American Society of Agronomy www.agronomy.org Crop Science Society of America www.crops.org Soil Science Society of America www.soils.org These Societies all operate under the umbrella ACSESS Alliance of Crop, Soil, & Environmental Science Societies The Alliance of Crop, Soil, and Environmental Science Societies (ACSESS) is an association of prominent international scientific societies headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. ACSESS was created by and is composed of the American Society of Agronomy (ASA, founded in 1907), the Crop Science Society of America (CSSA, founded in 1955), and the Soil Science Society of America (SSSA, founded in 1936) About the Every Day, Agronomy Societies Every day, everyone is affected by agronomy. The food you eat, the coffee you drink, the ethanol‐based gas in your car, the grass on the golf course, the natural fibers of the clothing you wear—all are products of agronomy and the work of agronomists. The reach of agronomists and In short, growing crops requires collaborations among many, many agronomy doesn’t end on the farm. fields, including the traditional soil, plant, and weed sciences, as well Agronomists also play critical roles as related disciplines such as ecology, entomology, climatology, and in issues of global concern, including economics. The best crop production methods are always grounded food and water security, air quality and climate change, soil loss and in scientific research. As a result, they are by nature continually degradation, health and nutrition, evolving and improving. and many others. What is an agronomist? Agronomists are plant and soil scientists who develop innovative farm practices and technologies that not only boost crop yields but also control pests and weeds and protect the environment. Agronomists are also professional practitioners, educators, and advisers who work directly with farmers, companies, and others in the ag community to implement the latest methods and tools for growing crops profitably and sustainably. About the Every Day, Crop Science Societies Every day, everyone is impacted by crop science. From the endless green fields of corn and soybeans which cover the Midwest, the vibrant yellows of sunflowers in Canada, the expansive rice patties of Asia, the vast acres of cotton drying under the Crop Scientists are at the intersection of plant and soil science hot Southwestern sun, to the lush green mountains of coffee growing in Central and work to improve crops and America, these crops do not just happen.

They make this possible through the application of soil and plant sciences to crop production that incorporates the wise use of The Science of Crops natural resources and conservation practices to produce food, feed, The evolution and ongoing development of agriculture, enabled by science, is the fuel, fiber, and pharmaceutical crops focus of agronomists and crop scientists. Scientific research to enhance productivity while maintaining and improving while sustaining the integrity of ecological processes encompasses crop science, soil the environment. science, and environmental science. The research is communicated and transferred among agronomists and those in related fields on topics of local, regional, national, and international significance. About the Every Day, Soil Science Societies Soil is an amazing substance. Acomplex mix of minerals, air, and water, soil also teems with countless micro‐organisms, and the decaying remains of once‐living things. Soil is made of life and soil makes life.

In 1651, Thomas Hobbes published Leviathan, describing life at the time as “poor, nasty, brutish and short”. It was a long time before things improved. At the beginning of the 20th century, global life expectancy ranged from the mid 30s to the high 40s (Kinsella 1992). Presently, the global average for life expectancy is in the low 70s, rising to almost 80 in some industrial countries (Roser, Ortiz-Ospina, and Ritchieet 2019). While multiple factors come into play for the increase in life expectancy, one of the key drivers of this trend is the role that science-based technological innovation has played in food security; not only in mechanistic advances in agriculture, but also in higher yielding crops and synthetic Photo illustration by Emily Turnbough and Allison Davitre, with photos from Shutterstock.

The European Journal of Agronomy, the official journal of the European Society for Agronomy, publishes original research papers reporting experimental and theoretical contributions to field-based agronomy and crop science. The journal will consider research at the field level for agricultural, horticultural and tree crops, that uses comprehensive and explanatory approaches. The EJA covers the following topics: crop physiology crop production and management including irrigation, fertilization and soil management agroclimatology and modelling plant-soil relationships crop quality and post-harvest physiology farming and cropping systems agroecosystems and the environment crop-weed interactions and management organic farming horticultural crops papers from the European Society for Agronomy bi-annual meetings In determining the suitability of submitted articles for publication, particular scrutiny is placed on the degree of novelty and significance of the research and the extent to which it adds to existing knowledge in agronomy. Confirmatory research and results routine cultivar or agronomy trials in which there are no identified biological processes will not normally be considered for publication. Modelling studies have to be informative and innovative and used to illustrate important generic issues facing agronomy. Studies in which a model is only tested against observed data for its goodness-of-fit are not generally welcome. Field experiments need to be either multi-locational or multi-year and normally three at least and be accompanied by appropriate statistical analysis.

  • National Plan Genome Initiative Five
    NATIONAL PLANT GENOME INITIATIVE FIVE-YEAR PLAN: 2014–2018 PRODUCT OF THE National Science and Technology Council MAY 2014 EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT NATIONAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COUNCIL WASHINGTON, D.C. 20502 May 16, 2014 Dear Colleagues: The enclosed report provides a five-year (2014-2018) plan for the National Plant Genome Initiative (NPGI). Implementation of this plan will build on significant advances made under the first three NPGI strategic plans. The NPGI will continue to advance the frontiers of plant science as wells as accelerate basic discovery and innovation related to economically important plants and processes that enable enhanced management of agriculture, natural resources, and the environment to meet the Nation’s needs. In developing this five-year plan, the Interagency Working Group on Plant Genomes (IWGPG) — a Working Group under the Life Sciences Subcommittee of the National Science and Technology Council’s Committee on Science — received input from a diverse set of stakeholders and many sectors of the scientific community, including the National Academy of Sciences, as well as industry, professional societies and producer/grower organizations. Great progress has been made in the past sixteen years in the domain of plant genomics, including with respect to increasing public access to relevant scientific information and data. Much more remains to be done, however, to capitalize on these previous advances and integrate them fully into the fabric of the national plant genomics infrastructure — including tools, people, and collaborative partnerships both domestically and internationally. In addition, it is critical to continue and accelerate research efforts in plant genomics in order to address the challenges brought about by the impacts of climate change and increasing demand for plant-based food, fuels, and materials.

    Modrzejewski et al. Environ Evid (2019) 8:27 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13750-019-0171-5 Environmental Evidence SYSTEMATIC MAP Open Access What is the available evidence for the range of applications of genome-editing as a new tool for plant trait modifcation and the potential occurrence of associated of-target efects: a systematic map Dominik Modrzejewski* , Frank Hartung, Thorben Sprink, Dörthe Krause, Christian Kohl and Ralf Wilhelm Abstract Background: Within the last decades, genome-editing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas, TALENs, Zinc-Finger Nucle- ases, Meganucleases, Oligonucleotide-Directed Mutagenesis and base editing have been developed enabling a precise modifcation of DNA sequences. Such techniques provide options for simple, time-saving and cost-efective applications compared to other breeding techniques and hence genome editing has already been promoted for a wide range of plant species. Although the application of genome-editing induces less unintended modifcations (of-targets) in the genome compared to classical mutagenesis techniques, of-target efects are a prominent point of criticism as they are supposed to cause unintended efects, e.g. genomic instability or cell death. To address these aspects, this map aims to answer the following question: What is the available evidence for the range of applications of genome-editing as a new tool for plant trait modifcation and the potential occurrence of associated of-target efects? This primary question will be considered by two secondary questions: One aims to overview the market-ori- ented traits being modifed by genome-editing in plants and the other explores the occurrence of of-target efects. Methods: A literature search in nine bibliographic databases, Google Scholar, and 47 web pages of companies and governmental agencies was conducted using predefned and tested search strings in English language.

  • Dimensions: a Competitor to Scopus and the Web of Science? Mike Thelwall, University of Wolverhampton, UK
    1 Dimensions: A Competitor to Scopus and the Web of Science? Mike Thelwall, University of Wolverhampton, UK. Dimensions is a partly free scholarly database launched by Digital Science in January 2018. Dimensions includes journal articles and citation counts, making it a potential new source of impact data. This article explores the value of Dimensions from an impact assessment perspective with an examination of Food Science research 2008-2018 and a random sample of 10,000 Scopus articles from 2012. The results include high correlations between citation counts from Scopus and Dimensions (0.96 by narrow field in 2012) as well as similar average counts. Almost all Scopus articles with DOIs were found in Dimensions (97% in 2012). Thus, the scholarly database component of Dimensions seems to be a plausible alternative to Scopus and the Web of Science for general citation analyses and for citation data in support of some types of research evaluations. 1. Introduction Citation counts are used by researchers and research managers to help evaluate the quality or impact of published research, particularly when it is impractical to employ peer judgements or a second opinion is needed. In the early years of citation analysis there was a single pre-eminent data source for citation counts, Eugene Garfield’s Science Citation Index (Garfield, 1964) but today Scopus has become a viable alternative (Archambault, Campbell, Gingras, & Larivière, 2009; Falagas, Pitsouni, Malietzis, & Pappas, 2008). There are also free online citation indexes, such as Google Scholar (Halevi, Moed, & Bar-Ilan, 2017; Martin- Martin, Orduna-Malea, Harzing, & López-Cózar, 2017; Prins, Costas, van Leeuwen, & Wouters, 2016) and Microsoft Academic (Harzing & Alakangas, 2017; Hug, Ochsner, & Brändle, 2017; Sinha, Shen, Song, Ma, Eide, Hsu, & Wang, 2015; Thelwall, 2018).

Aims and Scope of Field Crops Research SCIENTIFIC NOVELTY Field Crops Research is an international journal publishing scientific articles on: √ Original experimental and modelling research. √ Re-analysis of published data (including meta-analysis) that demonstrates new scientific insight, original technologies or novel methods at crop, field, farm and landscape levels. √ Studies at lower level of organisation (plant to molecular) must demonstrate scaling up to crop level or higher. FOCUS The focus of Field Crops Research is crop ecology, crop physiology and agronomy of field crops for food, fibre, feed, medicine and biofuel. The inclusion of yield data is encouraged to demonstrate how the field experiments contribute to the understanding of the bio-physical processes related to crop development, growth and the formation and realisation of yield. Articles on phenotyping, genetics, breeding, quality (grain, fibre, fodder), remote and non-contact sensing, crop protection (diseases, pests, weeds), soils and climate may be considered, provided they are integrated with crop ecology, crop physiology, and/or agronomy. SCIENTIFIC and PRESENTATION STANDARD Manuscripts must be written in grammatically sound English. Objectives must flow from complete, brief, unbiased and updated review of the literature. Experimental design must match objectives. Field experiments must be repeated in at least two seasons or locations. Key agronomic practices and environmental conditions (soil, weather) must be detailed, and weather information should be shown in relation to crop phenology.
