Growth and body composition of Peruvian infants in a periurban setting by Iannotti, Lora L., Zavaleta, Nelly, Leon, Zulema, Caulfield, Laura E.

“…Previous growth studies of Peruvian children have featured high stunting rates and limited information about body composition.We aimed to characterize anthropometric measures of Peruvian infants 0 to 12 months of age in relation to the international growth references and biological, environmental, and socioeconomic factors.Infants ( n = 232) were followed longitudinally from birth through 12 months of age from a prenatal zinc supplementation trial conducted in Lima, Peru, between 1995 and 1997. Anthropometric measures of growth and body composition were obtained at enrollment from mothers and monthly through 1 year of age from infants. …”

Scaling Strategies of SIMCAST for Late Blight: Training and Modernizing Decision Support for Wider Adoption by Juarez, H., Palacios, P., Perez, W., Pradel, W.

“…Implemented with partners across Peru, Ecuador, and India, the initiative combined capacity building and user feedback with major technical modernization: the Lateblight Advisor web app was upgraded from an initial R/Shiny prototype to Shiny for Python, enabling stronger integration with modern data and AI workflows and real-time weather inputs (WeatherAPI); a SIMCAST Model Context Protocol (MCP) was developed to expose standardized model tools for multi-channel deployment; and GeoSIMCAST extended point-based modeling to national-scale risk mapping using gridded climate products and reconstructed dew point temperature (Tdew) to support humidity-driven risk estimation. …”

Evidence for two gene pools of the lima bean, Phaseolus lunatus L. in the Americas by Gutiérrez Salgado, A., Gepts, Paul L., Debouck, Daniel G.

“…Results show that wild forms can be divided into two groups, one with smaller seeds and a very extensive distribution that includes Mexico, Central America, and the eastern slope of the Andes, and the other with a more circumscribed distribution on the western slope of the Andes in Ecuador and northern Peru. Electrophoretic analyses of seed proteins confirmed this subdivision and, additionally, showed that the large-seeded cultivars had been domesticated from the large-seeded wild lima beans in western South America. …”
