Population structure, allelic variation at Rht-B1 and Ppd-A1 loci and its effects on agronomic traits in Argentinian durum wheat by Achilli, Ana Laura, Roncallo, Pablo Federico, Larsen, Adelina Olga, Dreisigacker, Susanne, Echenique, Viviana

“…The semi-dwarfism Rht-B1b and the Ppd-A1a (GS105) alleles were associated with increases in harvest index and decreases in plant height, grain protein content and earlier heading date, although only the varieties carrying the Rht-B1 variants showed differences in grain yield. …”

Phenotyping mediterranean durum wheat landraces for resistance to Zymoseptoria tritici in Tunisia by Ben M’Barek, Sarrah, Laribi, Marwa, Kouki, Hajer, Castillo, Dalma, Araar, Chayma, Nefzaoui, Meriem, Ammar, Karim, Saint Pierre, Carolina, Yahyaoui, Amor Hassine

“…Interestingly, 92% of HR and R accessions maintained their resistance levels across the two years, confirming the highly significant correlation found between seedling-and adult-stage reactions. Plant Height was found to have a negative significant effect on adult-stage resistance, suggesting that either this trait can influence disease severity, or that it can be due to environmental/epidemiological factors. …”

Why Gender Matters in Breeding: Lessons from Cooking Bananas in Uganda by Sanya, Losira Nasirumbi, Ssali, R.T., Namuddu, Mary Gorreth, Kyotalimye, Miriam, Marimo, Pricilla, Mayanja, S.

“…Men appreciated agronomic and market-related traits, such as tolerance to drought and poor soils, bunch size and compactness, maturity period, and shelf life, while women valued processing and cooking traits such as flavour, food colour, ease of peeling, finger size, and agronomic traits such as plant height. These are plausible attributes for the gender-responsive breeding of bananas. …”

Market intelligence for guiding crop improvement: A systematic review of stakeholder preference studies in the rice sector in the Global South and beyond by Custodio, M.C., Demont, M., Steur, H. de

“…Evidence from farmer studies reveals that (1) preferences for agronomic attributes dominate and focus on yield, maturity, plant height, lodging tolerance, and tillering ability; (2) yield and early maturity were generally considered priority attributes and were often jointly considered as such; and (3) preferences for abiotic stress tolerance revolve around drought, submergence, and salinity. …”

Large-scale school meal programs and student health: Evidence from rural China by Wang, Jingxi, Hernandez, Manuel A., Deng, Guoying

The impacts are larger among students in a better health condition but small or not significant among the most disadvantaged. …”
