Morpho-anatomical traits of root and non-enzymatic antioxidant system of leaf tissue contribute to waterlogging tolerance in Brachiaria grasses by Jiménez Serna, Juan de la Cruz, Cardoso Arango, Juan Andrés, Domínguez, Moralba, Fischer, Gerhard, Rao, Idupulapati M.

“…We conclude that a combination of greater aerenchyma formation, smaller stele proportions, increased suberin deposition in the outer part of the root and an escalation of the non‐enzymatic antioxidant system acts to enhance root aeration and prevent the deleterious effect of reactive oxygen species in plants of B. humidicola subjected to waterlogged conditions.…”

Gender and household decision-making in a Lao village: implications for livelihoods in hydropower development by Weeratunge, N., Joffre, Olivier M., Senaratna Sellamuttu, Sonali, Bouahom, B., Keophoxay, Anousith

“…The article, first, aims to assess the extent to which household decision-making is gendered and secondly, to understand the complex reasoning behind household decisions, especially the relevance of material, relational, and subjective factors. It argues that while most household decisions are ostensibly considered as ‘joint’ in the study site, the nuanced nature of gendered values, norms, practices, relations, attitudes, and feelings underlying these decisions are important to assessing why households might or might not adopt livelihood interventions proposed by hydropower developers.…”
