Recommendations for improving Guatemala's food fortification program based on Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) data por Fiedler, John L., Helleranta, Meri

“…The impact of the wheat flour fortification program is considerably greater than had previously been estimated; the level at which sugar is currently fortified with vitamin A may be excessive and should be reviewed; and fortifying semolina flour (used to make pasta) would extend the benefits of wheat flour fortification to 60,000 households that currently do not benefit from it and would increase the amount of fortified food consumed by 68% of the population. …”

Spatio-temporal analysis of water quality for pesticides and other agricultural pollutants in Deduru Oya river basin of Sri Lanka por Jayasiri, M.M.J.G.C.N., Yadav, Sudhir, Dayawansa, N.D.K., Propper, Catherine R., Kumar, Virender, Singleton, Grant R.

“…Of the twenty pesticides tested, ten were detected in the water samples (pretilachlor, oxyfluorfen, thiamethoxam, chlorantraniliprole, fenobucarb, fipronil, diazinon, etofenprox, tebuconazole, and captan) and concentrations of all detected pesticides exceeded national regulatory threshold limits. Heavy metal residues were not detected in the water. …”

Rice heavy metal P-type ATPase OsHMA6 is likely a copper efflux protein por Wenli, Zou, Chang, Li, Yajun, Zhu, Jingguang, Chen, Haohua, He, Ye, Guoyou

“…OsHMA6 expressed in all organs at different growth stages, including spikelet, and abundant in leaf blades, however, OsHMA9 most strongly expressed in roots, but very low in spikelet. Excessive Cu2+ can up-regulate the expression of OsHMA6 and OsHMA9 in rice seedlings. …”

Identification of QTLs for tolerance to hypoxia during germination in rice por Kim, Suk-Man, Reinke, Russell F.

“…However, the method often results in a poor environment for germination as excessive water levels after seeding can cause poor seedling establishment and a concomitant reduction in yield potential, especially in submergence-prone areas. …”

Efficiency of high-nitrogen selection environments for improving maize for low-nitrogen target environments por Bänziger, M., Betrán, F.J., Lafitte, H.R.

“…Selection under high N for performance under low N was predicted significantly less efficient than selection under low N when relative yield reduction due to N stress exceeded 43%. Maize breeding programs targeting low‐N environments in the tropics should include low‐N selection environments to maximize selection gains.…”
