Genetic dissection of leaf senescence in rice by Leng, Yujia, Ye, Guoyou, Zeng, Dali

“…Leaf senescence, the final stage of leaf development, is a complex and highly regulated process that involves a series of coordinated actions at the cellular, tissue, organ, and organism levels under the control of a highly regulated genetic program. In the last decade, the use of mutants with different levels of leaf senescence phenotypes has led to the cloning and functional characterizations of a few genes, which has greatly improved the understanding of genetic mechanisms underlying leaf senescence. …”

A global study of poverty and livestock by Thornton, Philip K.

“…This study which is commissioned by DFID (Department for International Development) in 2001 is conducted to produce sets of maps locating significant populations of poor livestock keepers in the world, and to assess in very broad terms how these populations are likely to change over the next three to five decades. The outputs were to include maps illustrating the global distribution of poor livestock keepers, and the project was to make use of existing data and spatial data layers, together with information from the literature and the opinion of appropriate experts. …”
