Some rootstocks improve pepper tolerance to mild salinity through ionic regulation by Penella, Consuelo, Nebauer, Sergio G., Quinones, Ana, San Bautista, Alberto, López-Galarza, Salvador, Calatayud, Ángeles

“…Higher salt tolerance was achieved when the ‘Adige’ cultivar was grafted onto the 12 genotype, which allowed not only lower Na+ and Cl− accumulation in the scion, but also ion selectivity maintenance, particularly Na+/K+ discrimination. These traits led to a minor negative impact on photosynthesis, nitrate reductase activity and lipid peroxidation in grafted scion leaves. …”

Green fluorescent protein as a screenable marker to increase the efficiency of generating transgenic woody fruit plants by Ghorbel, R., Juárez, José, Navarro, Luis, Pena, Leandro

“…Furthermore, in vivo monitoring of GFP expression permitted a rapid and easy discrimination of transgenic and escape shoots. The selection of transgenic shoots could be easily favored by eliminating the escapes and/or by performing shoot-tip grafting of the transgenic buds soon after their origin. …”

Characterization of phytoene synthases from cassava and their involvement in abiotic stress-mediated responses by Arango, Jacobo, Wüst, Florian, Beyer, Peter, Welsch, Ralf

“…Moreover, ABA formation and the relative induction kinetics showed discrimination between drought and salt stress. Compared to rice as a drought-intolerant species, the drought response in cassava followed a different kinetic regime. …”

Calibrated multi-model ensemble seasonal prediction of Bangladesh summer monsoon rainfall by Acharya, Nachiketa, Montes, Carlo, Hassan, S.M.Q., Sultana, Razia, Rashid, Md. Bazlur, Mannan, Md. Abdul, Krupnik, Timothy J.

“…Results show, compared to individual calibrated GCMs and uncalibrated MME, that the CCA-based calibration generates significant improvements over individual raw GCM in terms of the magnitude of systematic errors, Spearman's correlation coefficients, and generalised discrimination scores over most of Bangladesh areas, especially in the northern part of the country. …”

Advancing an intersectional lens into gender transformative work in agri-food systems by López, Diana E., Gualoto, Ekaterina, Pyburn, Rhiannon

“…Intersectionality provides a powerful framework for understanding the intricate connections between different dimensions of social identity and their influence on individual experiences of discrimination and privilege. When applied to gender-transformative approaches (GTAs) in agri-food systems, intersectionality becomes critical for unraveling inequalities, including how existing inequalities are exacerbated by shocks and long-term stressors such as malnutrition, conflict, and climate change. …”

Unclasping potentials of genomics and gene editing in chickpea to fight climate change and global hunger threat by Singh, Charul, Kumar, Ramesh, Sehgal, Hansa, Bhati, Sharmista, Singhal, Tripti, G, Gayacharan, Nimmy, M S, Yadav, Renu, Gupta, Santosh Kumar, Naglaa A, Abdallah, Hamwieh, Aladdin, Kumar, Rajendra

“…Following the model of the application in crop with the help of the CRISPR/Cas9 module, various customized Cas9 cassettes have been cast off to advance mark discrimination and diminish random cuts. The present study discusses the progression in genome editing apparatuses, and their applications in chickpea crop development, scientific limitations, and future perspectives for biofortifying cytokinin dehydrogenase, nitrate reductase, superoxide dismutase to induce drought resistance, heat tolerance and higher yield in chickpea to encounter global climate change, hunger and nutritional threats.…”

Increasing social-ecological resilience within small-scale agriculture in conflict-affected Guatemala by Hellin, Jon, Ratner, Blake D., Meinzen-Dick, Ruth S., Lopez-Ridaura, Santiago

“…Indeed, the largely indigenous population in the Western Highlands has suffered widespread discrimination for centuries. The armed conflict has left a legacy of a deeply divided society, with communities often suspicious of outsider interventions and in many cases with neighbors pitted against each other. …”

Early season prevented and failed rice sowing detection using temporal Synthetic Aperture Radar data in coastal India for crop insurance applications by Murugesan, Deiveegan, Renaud, Mathieu

“…The radar backscatter allowed discrimination of P/FS from normal rice-growing areas since flooding decreased the backscatter due to the absence of post-inundation crop growth. …”

Building gender considerations into livestock breeding in low- and middle-income countries by Galiè, Alessandra, Ojango, Julie M.K., Farnworth, C.R., Jumba, Humphrey, Roeven, L., Marshall, Karen

“…These questions are of two types: gender-accommodative (to respond to gendered needs and priorities while reflecting existing gender norms and dynamics) and gender-transformative (to respond to gendered needs and priorities while allowing women to work towards their aspirations in livestock systems by challenging the discrimination of gender norms). The primary target readership is livestock breeders and social researchers working in low- and middle-income countries to improve livelihoods through livestock, with a focus on genetic improvement.…”

The competitiveness of small household pig producers in Vietnam: Significant research and policy findings from an ACIAR-sponsored study and their limitations by Tisdell, C.A.
