Assessment of phenotypic variability among EEA INTA Pergamino sunflower lines: Its relationship with the grain yield and oil content by Dominguez, Matías, Herrera, Stefanía, Gonzalez, Julio Horacio

“…The aims of the present study were to assess the phenotypic diversity among 221 sunflower accessions of INTA Pergamino Sunflower Breeding Program, to obtain discriminant functions that allow the classification of new accessions in similar groups and to evaluate the relationship between genetic distance pairwise accessions and hybrid performance for grain yield and oil content. …”

Determination of weeds and artichoke plants position in colour images for local herbicide action by Moltó, Enrique, Aleixos, Nuria, Ruiz, L. A., Vazquez, J., Fabado, Francisco, Juste, Florentino

“…The procedure starts with a segmentation of the RGB space in three categories (artichoke plants, weeds and soil) by means of Bayesian Discriminate Analysis. Because of some overlapping between classes crop and weeds, further processing is needed: filtering and object reconstruction. …”

Variation and Phenotypic Evaluation of Intraspecific Oryza glaberrima Lines Resulting from Crossings between Tog5681, Tog5672 and Tog7291 by Agnoun, Y., Ahounou, E., Sié, M., Ogunbayo, S.A., Toulou, B., Futakuchi, K., Ahanchédé, A.

“…Phenotypic evaluation of the progeny (total of 55 F6 lines) and checks (O. glaberrima and O. sativa) using 18 quantitative characters, showed a higher degree of variation in plant height, leaf dimensions, panicle fertility and grain weight. Based on the discriminating characters proposed here for further exploitation, intraspecific lines were grouped into five clusters, two of which (G4 and G5) contained the best lines for vegetative (G4) and productive (G5) characters.…”

Rice policy, trade, and exchange rate changes in Indonesia: a general equilibrium analysis by Robinson, Sherman, El-Said, Moataz, San, Nu Nu

“…With devaluation, maintaining a low rice price discriminates against rice producers and hence slows the process of structural adjustment. …”

Securing a sustainable future: A path towards gender equality in the Indian agricultural sector by Dharamshi, Khyati, Moskovitz, Liora, Munshi, Sugandha

“…Our analyses of Indian media narratives, archive stories, responses to an online story completion task, and in-depth expert interviews show that, despite their developing role and increasing contribution, women remain marginalised and discriminated against in a culturally male-dominant sector. …”

Future selection of additional CCAFS target regions by Thornton, Philip K.

“…As before, projected future climate change is not likely to be a strong discriminator among candidate regions, as all regions are expected to warm, future rainfall trends are subject to considerable uncertainty, and changes in climatology are not likely to be detectable for the next ten years at least.…”
