Identification of immediate response genes dominantly expressed in juvenile resistant and susceptible Biomphalaria glabrata snails upon exposure to Schistosoma mansoni by Ittiprasert, W., Miller, A., Myers, J., Nene, Vishvanath M., El-Sayed, N.M., Knight, M.

“…In resistant snails, several ESTs corresponded to transcripts involved in immune regulation/defense response. While no defense related transcripts were found among juvenile susceptible snail ESTs, we detected transcripts involved in negative regulation of biological process/morphogenesis/proliferation. …”

The plant pathogen Phytophthora andina emerged via hybridization of an unknown Phytophthora species and the Irish potato famine pathogen, P. infestans by Goss, E.M., Cárdenas, M.E., Myers, K., Forbes, G., Fry, W.E., Restrepo, S., Grunwald, N.J.

“…We tested this hypothesis by cloning four nuclear loci to obtain haplotypes and using these loci to infer the phylogenetic relationships of P. andina to P. infestans and other related species. Sequencing of cloned PCR products in every case revealed two distinct haplotypes for each locus in P. andina, such that each isolate had one allele derived from a P. infestans parent and a second divergent allele derived from an unknown species that is closely related but distinct from P. infestans, P. mirabilis, and P. ipomoeae. …”

Understanding determinants of farmers’ investments in, and impacts of, soil and water conservation in Ethiopia: review and synthesis [Abstract only] by Adimassu, Zenebe, Langan, Simon J., Johnston, Robyn M.

“…The review identified several determinants that affect farmers’ investments in SWC practices, which are categorized into two groups: (i) factors that are related to farmers’ capacity to invest in SWC practices, and (ii) farmers’ incentives to invest in such practices. …”

Accuracy of genomic selection in a rice synthetic population developed for recurrent selection breeding by Grenier, Cécile, Cao, Tuong-Vi, Ospina, Yolima, Quintero, Constanza, Châtel, Marc H., Tohme, Joseph M., Courtois, Brigitte, Ahmadi, Nourollah

The costs of benefit sharing: historical and institutional analysis of shared water development in the Ferghana Valley, the Syr Darya Basin by Soliev, Ilkhom, Wegerich, Kai, Kazbekov, Jusipbek S.

“…Ongoing discussions on water-energy-food nexus generally lack a historical perspective and more rigorous institutional analysis. Scrutinizing a relatively mature benefit sharing approach in the context of transboundary water management, the study shows how such analysis can be implemented to facilitate understanding in an environment of high institutional and resource complexity. …”

A combined equation to estimate the soil pore-water electrical conductivity: calibration with the WET and 5TE sensors by Visconti, Fernando, Martínez, Delfina, Molina, María J., Ingelmo, Florencio, De-Paz, José M.

“…In this work, an equation was obtained to estimate the pore-water electrical conductivity (σp), which is closely related to the soil salinity in contact with plant roots, from εb and σb data, by combining the simplified dielectric mixing (SDM) model that relates εb to the soil volumetric water content (θ), with the Rhoades equation that relates θ and σb to σp. …”
