Genome wide analysis of NLP transcription factors reveals their role in nitrogen stress tolerance of rice por Jagadhesan, B., Sathee, Lekshmy, Meena, Hari S., Jha, Shailendra K., Chinnusamy, Viswanathan, Kumar, Arvind, Kumar, Santosh

“…Four rice genotypes APO (high NUE under sufficient N), IR83929-B-B-291-3-1-1 (IR-3-1-1), Nerica-L-42 (NL-42) (High NUE at low N), and Pusa Basmati 1 (PB1, low NUE) to correlate traits governing NUE and expression of NLPs. Analysis of rate of nitrate uptake and expression of N assimilatory and uptake genes established that IR-3-1-1 has high uptake and assimilation efficiency, translating into high NUE, whereas PB1 is efficient in uptake only when N availability is high. …”

Status, distribution and determinants of poverty in the COMESA region: A review of existing knowledge por Kabubo-Mariara, J., Massawe, Stella C., Karugia, Joseph T., Kirui, Oliver K., Wanjiku, Juliet

“…Community/regional/country level determinants include: geography and related factors such as market access, agro-ecological zones, climate and ethnicity; the environment; population density; area of residence (rural vs. urban); income, growth and inequality; conflict, insecurity and political instability; and governance and corruption. However, it is difficult to separate the determinants of community level poverty from the determinants at the household level. …”
