New geographical insights of the latest expansion of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 into the Greater Mekong Subregion by Zheng, S.J., García Bastidas, F., Li, X., Zeng, L., Bai, T., Xu, S., Yin, K., Li, H., Fu, G., Yu, Y., Yang, L., Nguyen, H., Douangboupha, B., Khaing, A.A., Drenth, A., Seidl, M.F., Meijer, H.J.G., Kema, G.H.J.

“…Here, we report the presence of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (Foc TR4) in “Cavendish” plantations in Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam. A combination of classical morphology, DNA sequencing and phenotyping assays revealed a very close relationship between the Foc TR4 strains in the entire Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS), which is increasingly prone to intensive banana production. …”

Growth of Individual Tomato Fruits under Assimilate Limitation Associated with Successively-later Set Fruits by Rybak, Maria Raquel, Boote, Kenneth J., Jones, James W.

“…The good agreement of predicted and measured values indicates that the growth of individual tomato fruits followed the classical S-shaped Gompertz function. The Gompertz function was suitable to describe the slow growth that occurs in tomato fruits immediately after fertilization. …”

Enhancing the understanding of coinfection outcomes: Impact of natural atypical porcine pestivirus infection on porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome in pigs by Hill, Holly, Reddick, David, Caspe, Sergio Gaston, Ramage, Clifford, Frew, David, Rocchi, Mara S., Opriessnig, Tanja, McNeilly, Tom Nathan

“…Atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) is a novel member of the Pestivirus genus detected in association with congenital tremor (CT) type A-II outbreaks and from apparently healthy pigs, both as singular infection and as part of multi-pathogen infections. 'Classical' pestiviruses are known to cause immunosuppression of their host, which can increase susceptibility to secondary infections, severely impacting health, welfare, and production. …”

Enhanced infectivity of bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) in arginase-producing bovine monocyte-derived macrophages by Barone, Lucas Jose, Cardoso, Nancy, Mansilla, Florencia Celeste, Castillo, Mariangeles, Capozzo, Alejandra

“…Macrophages are not a homogenous population; they exist in different phenotypes, typically divided into two main categories: classically (pro-inflammatory) and alternatively activated (anti-inflammatory) or M1 and M2, respectively. …”

Coexistence between two fruit fly species is supported by the different strength of intra- and interspecific competition by Liendo, Marí­a Clara, Parreño, Marí­a Alejandra, Cladera, Jorge Luis, Vera, María Teresa, Segura, Diego Fernando

“…This study focused on the relative strength of intra- and interspecific competition during the larval stage as a potential factor supporting coexistence. Classical competition experiments (addition and substitution) were conducted between larvae of the two species reared in artificial larval diet. …”

Trapping success and flight behavior of two parasitoid species of the woodwasp Sirex noctilio by Martinez Von Ellrich, Andres, Fischbein, Deborah, Villacide, Jose Maria, Corley, Juan Carlos

“…Classical biological control relies on the deliberate introduction of natural enemies to reduce pest populations below damage thresholds. …”

“…We concluded that ssGBLUP is a promising breeding tool to improve accuracies and bias over classical GBLUP for genomic evaluation in Eucalyptus breeding practice.…”

African swine fever in Uganda by Andersson, Malin

“…The second aim was to estimate the presence of two important differential diagnoses of ASF: Classical swine fever (CSF) and Porcine Reproduction and Respiratory syndrome (PRRS). …”

Short and long-term effects on the teat tissue in a Cow Calf Contact system with automatic milking by Lilja, Johanna

“…Calves had free access to their dams in a contact area and cows were milked in an automatic milking system (DeLaval VMS™ Classic). Calves and cows were separated approximately 16 weeks postpartum. …”

Agro-ecological options for fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda JE Smith) management: Providing low-cost, smallholder friendly solutions to an invasive pest by Harrison, R., Thierfelder, Christian L., Baudron, Frédéric, Chinwada, P., Midega, C., Schaffner, U., Berg, J. van den

“…Such approaches should therefore be promoted as a core component of integrated pest management (IPM) programmes for FAW in combination with crop breeding for pest resistance, classical biological control and selective use of safe pesticides. …”

Genome-wide genetic structure and selection signatures for color in 10 traditional Chinese yellow-feathered chicken breeds by Huang, X., Otecko, N.O., Peng, M., Weng, Z., Li, W., Chen, J., Zhong, M., Zhong, F., Jin, S., Geng, Z., Luo, W., He, D., Ma, C., Han Jianlin, Ommeh, S.C., Zhang, Y., Zhang, X., Du, B.

“…Through genome-wide scans for selective sweeps, we identified RALY heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (RALY), leucine rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor 4 (LGR4), solute carrier family 23 member 2 (SLC23A2), and solute carrier family 2 member 14 (SLC2A14), besides the classical beta-carotene dioxygenase 2 (BCDO2), as major candidates pigment determining genes in the YFCs.We provide the first comprehensive genomic data of the YFCs. …”

NIR instruments and prediction methods for rapid access to grain protein content in multiple cereals by Chadalavada, K., Anbazhagan, K., Ndour, A., Choudhary, S., Palmer, W., Flynn, J.R., Mallayee, S., Sharada, Pothu, Prasad, Kodukula V.S.V., Varijakshapanicker, Padmakumar, Jones, Christopher S., Kholová, Jana

“…For this purpose, we generated NIR spectra for 328 grain samples from multiple cereals (finger millet, foxtail millet, maize, pearl millet, and sorghum) with a standard benchtop NIR spectrometer (DS2500, FOSS) and a novel portable NIR-based instrument (HL-EVT5, Hone). We explored classical deterministic methods (via winISI, FOSS), novel machine learning (ML)-driven methods (via Hone Create, Hone), and a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based method for building the calibrations to predict grain protein out of the NIR spectra. …”

Comparing the effectiveness of different approaches to raise awareness about antimicrobial resistance in farmers and veterinarians of India by Sharma, Garima, Mutua, Florence K., Deka, Ram Pratim, Shome, R., Bandyopadhyay, S., Shome, B.R., Kumar, N.G., Grace, Delia, Dey, Tushar K., Lindahl, Johanna F.

“…The villages were randomly allocated to either one of the three intervention approaches (1-classic AMR; 2-animal health; 3-animal health plus AMR) or to be a control. …”

Lifting quality constraints to agricultural technology adoption in the Ugandan market for maize seed by Miehe, Caroline, Van Campenhout, Bjorn, Sparrow, Robert, Spielman, David J.

“…Secondly, as the sellers of maize seed have more information about its quality than the buyers, we hypothesize that this information asymmetry leads to poor seed quality offered by some dealers. To overcome this classic lemon technology problem, we implement a crowd-sourced information clearinghouse like yelp.com, meaning that we collect and disseminate farmers’ ratings of seed quality to make it more observable to dealers and farmers. …”

Games for triggering collective change in natural resource management: A conceptual framework and insights from four cases from India by Falk, Thomas, Zhang, Wei, Meinzen-Dick, Ruth S., Bartels, Lara

“…Combining games with other interventions and tools and facilitated discussions has been proposed as a promising approach to improve collective action institutions through experiential learning — a classic approach in education. This paper reviews existing literature and synthesizes lessons learned from a series of studies testing the use of behavioral games for institutional capacity development in India. …”

Loci and natural alleles underlying robust roots and adaptive domestication of upland ecotype rice in aerobic conditions by Zhao, Yan, Zhang, Hongliang, Xu, Jianlong, Jiang, Conghui, Yin, Zhigang, Xiong, Haiyan, Xie, Jianyin, Wang, Xueqiang, Zhu, Xiaoyang, Li, Yang, Zhao, Weipeng, Rashid, Muhammad Abdul Rehman, Li, Jinjie, Wang, Wensheng, Fu, Binying, Ye, Guoyou, Guo, Yan, Hu, Zhiqiang, Li, Zhikang, Li, Zichao

“…This work demonstrated a powerful strategy for highly efficient cloning of moderate- and small-effect QTLs that is difficult using the classical map-based cloning approach. Population analyses of the 795 accessions, 202 additional upland landraces, and 446 wild rice accessions based on random SNPs and SNPs within robust loci suggested that there could be much less diversity in robust-root candidate genes among upland japonica accessions than in other ecotypes. …”
