Process-based modeling framework for sustainable irrigation management at the regional scale: integrating rice production, water use, and greenhouse gas emissions by Bo, Yan, Liang, Hao, Li, Tao, Zhou, Feng

“…Compared with the original model using traditional parameter upscaling methods, the advancing framework significantly reduced simulation errors by 35 %–85 %. Moreover, it well reproduced the multi-variable synergies and tradeoffs observed in China's rice fields and identified an additional 18 % areas feasible for irrigation optimization, along with an additional 11 % and 14 % reduction potentials of water use and methane emissions, without compromising production. …”

Assessment of key factors responsible for the pest status of the bean flower thrips megalurothrips sjostedti (thysanoptera: thripidae) in West Africa by Tamo, M., Baumgärtner, J., Delucchi, V., Herren, H.R.

“…Extensive surveys indicate clearly that M. sjostedti survives the dry season on a wide range of alternative hosts all belonging to the Leguminosae, where it can feed and reproduce. Different antagonists were observed attacking eggs and larvae of M. sjostedti; their impact, however, is low and cannot prevent pest outbreaks. …”

Analysis of the transcriptome of the protozoan Theileria parva using MPSS reveals that the majority of genes are transcriptionally active in the schizont stage by Bishop, Richard P., Shah, Tushaar, Pelle, Roger, Hoyle, D., Pearson, T., Haines, L., Brass, A., Hulme, H., Graham, S.P., Taracha, E.L.N., Lu, C., Hass, B., Wortman, Jennifer R., White, O., Gardner, M.J., Nene, Vishvanath M., Villiers, Etienne P. de

“…In total 1 095 000, 20 bp sequences representing 4371 different signatures were generated from T.parva schizonts. Reproducible signatures were identified within 73% of potentially detectable predicted genes and 83% had signatures in at least one MPSS cycle. …”

Informal Seed systems and the management of gene flow in traditional agroecosystems: the case of cassava in Cauca, Colombia by Dyer, George, González, Carolina, Lopera, Diana Carolina

“…We quantify several management practices for cassava the first estimates of their kind for a vegetatively-propagated crop describe their demographic repercussions, and compare them to those of maize, a sexually-reproduced grain crop.
