Effect of moisturizing treatments on germination of Vitex pubescens seeds by Sriwardani, F., Budhi, S., Kusmina, S., Utama, R., Rantan, D., Jong, W. de

“…Both treatments also have a positive effect on the rate with which seeds germinate, but soaking the seeds in boiling water has a greater effect than soaking seeds in room-temperature water. Subjecting V. pubescens to any of these treatments significantly increaces the success rate of germination and the speed with which the seeds germinate. …”

Improving food safety in Asia through increased capacity in ecohealth by Hall, D.C., Hung Nguyen-Viet, Willyanto, I., Tung, D.X., Chotinun, S.

“…The three main aspects of the strategy that are presented and discussed include: (1) Promote transdisciplinary approaches to understanding the complexity of zoonotic disease that compromise food safety; (2) increase teaching and application of ecohealth in medical sciences and other subjects relevant to food safety; and (3) bring ecohealth and One Health approaches into health policy discussions, particularly where these discussions influence policy formulation. …”

The malleability of participation: the politics of agricultural research under neoliberalism in Bolivia by Córdoba, Diana M., Jansen, Kees, González, Carolina

“…Engaging with Foucault's work on governmentality and neoliberalism, our analysis goes beyond interpretations of participation which conceptualize it exclusively as a technology of power to discipline subjects. Drawing on a distinction between a liberal and a neoliberal moment in the restructuring of agricultural research, we study the case of PROINPA (Foundation for the Promotion and Research of Andean Products), a national NGO that was once part of the state system for agricultural research but was then privatized. …”

The Multiple Functions and Services of Community Seedbanks by Vernooy, Ronnie, Sthapit, B.R., Galluzzi, Gea, Shrestha, P.

“…Although community-level seed-saving initiatives have existed in many countries around the world for about 30 years, they have rarely been the subject of systematic scientific enquiry. Based on a combination of a literature review and field research, we present a novel comprehensive conceptual framework that focuses on the multiple functions and services provided by community-based seed-saving efforts, in particular community seed banks. …”

Highre-solution linkage map and chromosome-scale genome assembly for cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) from 10 populations by International Cassava Genetic Map Consortium

“…Although native to South America, cassava was brought to Africa 400–500 years ago and is now widely cultivated across sub-Saharan Africa, but it is subject to biotic and abiotic stresses. To assist in the rapid identification of markers for pathogen resistance and crop traits, and to accelerate breeding programs, we generated a framework map for M. esculenta Crantz from reduced representation sequencing [genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS)]. …”

Protein, iron, zinc and calcium concentrations of potatoes following traditional processing as “chuño” by Burgos, G., Haan, Stef de, Salas, E., Bonierbale, Merideth W.

“…Potatoes processed as chuño have a lower concentration of protein and zinc than unprocessed tubers, and a higher content of calcium, while iron concentration may be expected not to be subjected to changes. Water used in preparing the chuño is suggested to be the cause for an increased calcium concentration in the final product, as the water used had higher calcium content before (1.35 mequiv.…”
