Removal of transgenes and Evaluation of yield penalties in genome edited bacterial blight resistant rice varieties by Loo, Eliza P.I., Huguet‐Tapia, José C., Selvaraj, Michael, Stiebner, Melissa, Killing, Britta, Buchholzer, Marcel, Schepler‐Luu, Van, Hartwig, Thomas, Valdéz Gutierrez, Sandra P., Rast‐Somssich, Madlen I., Balahadia, Christian Paolo, Slamet‐Loedin, Inez H., Oliva, Ricardo, Szurek, Boris, Tohme, Joe, Chavarriaga, Paul, White, Frank F., Yang, Bing, Frommer, Wolf B.

“…We had multiplex edited the EBEs of three SWEET genes to prevent TALe binding, producing genome‐edited (GE'd) rice mega‐varieties (IR64, Ciherang‐Sub1 for Asia and Komboka for Africa) that were resistant to a wide spectrum of Xoo strains. Here, we report comprehensive analyses of the GE'd lines, including evaluation of agronomic performance in multi‐location multi‐season experimental field plots under different fertilisation regimes and tests for the presence/absence of foreign DNA/transgene in the offspring of GE'd lines (IR64‐BC1T6, Ciherang‐Sub1‐BC1T5, Komboka‐T3). …”

Multivariate stability analysis to select elite rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes for grain yield, zinc and iron by Singh, Akansha, Singh, Dhirendra Kumar, Singh, Shravan Kumar, Singh, Vikas Kumar, Kumar, Arvind

“…The GGE biplot revealed clear “which-won-where” patterns for GY, DTF, Fe, and Zn, explaining 94.37%, 99.71%, 83.49%, and 96.93% of GEI variation, respectively. BLUP analysis using a linear mixed model revealed significant GEI effects for GY, DTF, Fe, and Zn across 30 rice genotypes in three environments. …”

Socio-economic impact of forage development on farm households livelihood in Mieso District, West Hararghe Zone, Oromia National Regional State by Ahmed, I.

“…Propensity score matching analysis also show that adoption of improved forage technology have significantly and positively affected by active labor force, information accesses, fattening experience, demonstration day, and livestock holding while age, family size and market distances have a significant negative effect. The sensitivity analysis also shows that the impact result estimates are insensitive to unobserved selection bias. …”

Double no-till and permanent raised beds in maize–wheat rotation of north-western Indo-Gangetic plains of India: Effects on crop yields, water productivity, profitability and soil... by Jat, Mangi Lal, Gathala, Mahesh Kumar, Saharawat, Yashpal S., Tetarwal, J.P., Gupta R, Singh, Yadvinder P.

“…Replacement of rice with less water requiring crops such as maize in the RWS and identification of effective strategies for alternate tillage systems will promote sustainable cropping systems in the IGP. To this effect a 3-year field experiment was established with annual maize–wheat rotation in the north-western IGP of India to evaluate the effect of 3 tillage systems (conventional flat, CTF; no-till flat, NTF; permanent raised beds, NTB) on crop production, water use efficiency, economic profitability and soil physical quality. …”
