Influence of agricultural extension services on technical efficiency of maize farmers in Malawi by Jolex, Aubrey

“…Recognising potential selection bias due to non-randomness of the data, this study used propensity score matching on data from a nationally representative fifth Integrated Household Survey (IHS5) to investigate the effect of agriculture extension services on the technical efficiency of maize farmers in Malawi. …”

Genomic adaptation of Ethiopian indigenous cattle to high altitude by Terefe, Endashaw, Belay, Gurja, Han Jianlin, Hanotte, Olivier H., Tijjani, Abdulfatai

“…Here we assess the genomic signatures of positive selection for high altitude adaptation in three cattle populations from the Ethiopian mountainous areas (Semien, Choke, and Bale mountains) compared to three Ethiopian lowland cattle populations (Afar, Ogaden, and Boran), using whole-genome resequencing and three genome scan approaches for signature of selection (iHS, XP-CLR, and PBS). We identified several candidate selection signature regions and several high-altitude adaptation genes. …”

Traces of introgression from cAus into tropical japonica observed in African upland rice varieties by Beye, Abdoulaye, Billot, Claire, Ronfort, Joëlle, McNally, Kenneth L., Diouf, Diaga, Glaszmann, Jean Christophe

“…Those specific to West African upland accessions were concentrated on chromosome 6 and featured several cAus introgression signals, including a large one between 17.9 and 21.7 Mb. We found iHS statistics in support of positive selection in this region and we provide a list of candidate genes enriched in GO terms that have regulatory functions involved in stress responses that could have facilitated adaptation to harsh upland growing conditions.…”

Genomic analysis of 10 years of artificial selection in community-based breeding programs in two Ethiopian indigenous sheep breeds by Rekik, Emna, Ahbara, Abulgasim, Abate, Zelalem, Goshme, Shenkute, Getachew, Tesfaye, Haile, Aynalem, Rischkowsky, Barbara, Mwacharo, Joram

“…Selection signature analysis employing ROH, logistic regression genome-wide association study, FST, XP-EHH and iHS revealed 5 (Bonga) and 11 (Menz) overlapping regions under selection, that co-localized with QTLs for production (body size/weight, growth, milk yield), meat/milk quality, and health/parasite resistance, suggesting that the decade- long selection has likely started to impact their genomes. …”
