Pulses for nutrition in India: Changing patterns from farm to fork por Roy, Devesh, Joshi, Pramod Kumar, Chandra, Raj

“…Pulses for Nutrition in India: Changing Patterns from Farm to Fork looks at the country’s pulses sector in light of agricultural systems, climate change, irrigation design, and how policies (including the Green Revolution) have evolved over time. To understand how pulses can help fulfill the objectives of India’s food policies, experts explore the role that pulse production plays in global trade; the changing demand for pulses in India since the 1960s; the possibility of improving pulse yields with better technology to compete with cereals; and the long-term health benefits of greater reliance on pulses. …”

Multi-environment Genomic Selection in Rice Elite Breeding Lines por Nguyen, Van Hieu, Morantte, Rose Imee Zhella, Lopena, Vitaliano, Verdeprado, Holden, Murori, Rosemary, Ndayiragije, Alexis, Katiyar, Sanjay Kumar, Islam, Md. Rafiqul, Juma, Roselyne Uside, Flandez-Galvez, Hayde, Glaszmann, Jean-Christophe, Cobb, Joshua N., Bartholomé, Jérôme

“…Results The elite lines were found to belong to the indica group and more specifically the indica-1B subgroup which gathered improved material originating from the Green Revolution. Phenotypic correlations between environments were high for days to flowering and plant height (33% and 54% of pairwise correlation greater than 0.5) but low for grain yield (lower than 0.2 in most cases). …”

Agricultural transformation in Asia: An overview of recent experiences por Vos, Rob, Mamun, Abdullah, Traoré, Fousseini, Laborde Debucquet, David

“…However, strong agricultural productivity growth and agrarian change were also essential ingredients of these economic ‘miracles,’ particularly during the initial stages of rapid economic acceleration, or “take-off”. The Green Revolution, reforms of agricultural and rural institutions, and public investment in rural infrastructure have been critical factors in the economic take-off of early and late successful transformers. …”
