Leaf Na+ effects and multi-trait GWAS point to salt exclusion as the key mechanism for reproductive stage salinity tolerance in rice por de Ocampo, Marjorie P., Tam, Bui Phuoc, Egdane, James A, Chebotarov, Dmytro, Doi, Kazuyuki, Yamauchi, Akira, Ismail, Abdelbagi M, Henry, Amelia, Mitsuya, Shiro

“…Key Results Salt exclusion was identified as the key tolerance mechanism in this study based on reduced panicle length as flag leaf Na+ increased, and a lack of effect of trimming the leaves in the salinity treatment on genotypic rankings. Since larger biomass showed a negative effect on the number of filled grains in multiple experiments, future studies should investigate the effect of whole-plant transpiration levels on salt uptake. …”

Fruit and vegetable peels as alternative feed for sustainable poultry production: A solution for small-scale farms in central and southern Ethiopia por Getahun, A., Kechero, Y., Yemane, N., Dessie, Tadelle, Esatu, Wondmeneh

“…Data from 360 households across Hadiya, Wolaita and Gamo zones revealed potato peel as the most utilized (27.5%, p < 0.05), exhibiting the highest metabolizable energy (3.17 Mcal/kg DM) and crude protein (7.33%, p < 0.001). Banana peel ranked second (18.89%) with moderate protein (5.5%) and high potassium (482 mg/100 g, p < 0.001), while cassava peel showed exceptional calcium (178.7 mg/100 g) and phosphorus (97 mg/100 g) content (p < 0.001) but required detoxification due to elevated oxalates (283.3 mg/100 g) and tannins (0.7 mg/100 g, p < 0.001). …”

Simulating rural environmentally and socio-economically constrained multi-activity and multi-decision societies in a low-data context: A challenge through empirical agent-based mod... por Saqalli, M., Gerard, Bruno G., Bielders, Charles L., Defourny, Pierre

“…Beyond a game-theory model that leads to a premature selection of the relevant variables, we build an individual-centered, empirical, KIDS-oriented (Keep It Descriptive & Simple), and multidisciplinary agent-based model focusing on the villagers\' differential accesses to economic and production activities according to social rules and norms, mainly driven by social criteria from which gender and rank within the family are the most important, as they were observed and registered during individual interviews. …”

Gender mainstreaming for food security and poverty reduction programs in Asia and Africa por Hanjra, Munir A., Zafar, M. I., Batool, Z., Nawaz, N., Maann, A.A., Ayalew, Z., Alemu, B.A.

“…Gender mainstreaming refers to making general policies gender-smart - at various level of governance - to target the gender differentiated impacts and outcomes and implementing public policies and international development cooperation in a more strategic way that also improves gender equality and makes policies more effective in closing the key gender gaps even if their objectives has nothing to do with gender. Gender equality ranks high on the global development agenda and evidence-based gender targeting is emerging as a key criteria in international development assistance programs such as those for enhancing food security and reducing poverty and the broader development goals such as those set by the MDGs to 2015 and beyond. …”
