Anticipatory cash transfers for climate resilience: Findings from a randomized experiment in northeast Nigeria by Balana, Bedru, Adeyanju, Dolapo, Clingain, Clare, Andam, Kwaw S., de Brauw, Alan, Yohanna, Ishaku, Olarewaju, Olukunbi, Schneider, Molly

“…Based on the findings we have two key recommendations: (1) Given the generally positive findings on household’s climate adaptive and climate resilience capacity, we suggest humanitarian agencies and governments to consider anticipatory interventions such as anticipatory cash transfers as a mechanism for both meeting basic needs and improving climate resilience of households if quality data and analytics exist to predict a high probability of climate shocks. (2) As climate shocks continue to worsen and humanitarian funding needs remain unmet for both emergencies and early recovery, anticipatory approach may be critical to meeting the short- and long-term needs of climate- and conflict-affected households.…”

Morpho-biochemical characterization of a RIL population for seed parameters and identification of candidate genes regulating seed size trait in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) by Dutta, Haragopal, K. M, Shivaprasad, Aski, Muraleedhar, Mishra, Gyan, Sinha, Subodh Kumar Sinha, Vijay, Dunna, Prasad C.

“…This clearly showed that the small seed size trait is very strongly regulated by the locus near PBLAC449; whereas, large seed size trait seems governed by more than one locus. The PCR amplified products from the PBLAC449 marker (149bp from L4602 and 131bp from L830) were cloned, sequenced and BLAST searched using the lentil reference genome and was found amplified from chromosome 03. …”
