Staying afloat in the milk business: Borrowing and selling on credit among informal milk vendors in Nairobi por Myers, Emily, Heckert, Jessica, Galiè, Alessandra, Njiru, Nelly, Alonso, Silvia

“…Moreover, growing evidence finds that entrepreneurs offer credit to customers; little is known about what this practice means for entrepreneurs, and even less about gendered differences in this practice. Herein, we consider the case of final retailers in agricultural value chains and examine how male and female informal milk vendors from peri-urban Nairobi borrow and sell on credit, and how these experiences affect their businesses where there are few formal safeguards to ensure repayment. …”

Effectiveness of genomic selection for improving provitamin A carotenoid content and associated traits in cassava por Esuma, W., Ozimati, A., Kulakow, Peter A., Gore, M.A., Wolfe, M., Nuwamanya, E., Egesi, Chiedozie N., Kawuki, R.S.

“…Global efforts are underway to develop cassava with enhanced levels of provitamin A carotenoids to sustainably meet increasing demands for food and nutrition where the crop is a major staple. Herein, we tested the effectiveness of genomic selection (GS) for rapid improvement of cassava for total carotenoids content and associated traits. …”

Genetic variation and demographic history of Sudan desert sheep reveal two diversified lineages por Salim, B., Alasmari, S., Mohamed, N.S., Ahmed, M.-K.A., Nakao, R., Hanotte, Olivier H.

“…The genetic relationships among these sheep populations remain understudied. Herein, we sequenced the entire mitochondrial DNA control region of 120 animals from Hamary and Kabashi and their crossbreed (Hamary x Kabashi) of Sudan desert sheep (SDS) to understand their maternal-inherited genetic variation and demographic history profiles and relate those to the history of sheep pastoralism on the African continent. …”

Development of a naked eye CRISPR-Cas12a and -Cas13a multiplex point-of-care detection of genetically modified swine por Wang, Y., Fu, L., Tao, D., Han, X., Xu, B., Deng, M., Li, S., Zhao, C., Li, X., Zhao, S., Gong, P., Yang, Y., Khazalwa, Emmanuel M., Ma, Y., Ruan, J., Li, C., Xie, S.

“…To optimize the application for field testing, we designed a portable multiplex fluorescence imaging assay that could distinguish test results with the naked eye. Herein, dual gene amplified products from multiplex recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) were simultaneously detected in a single tube using Cas12a and Cas13a enzymes. …”

What plant breeding may (and may not) look like in 2050? por Bassi, Filippo, Sanchez-Garcia, Miguel, Ortiz, Rodomiro

“…After two decades of debates, climate change is a “certainty,” food systems shifted from maximizing farm production to reducing environmental impact, and hopes placed into GMOs are mitigated by their low appre ciation by consumers. We revise herein how plant breeding may raise or reduce genetic gains based on the breeder’s equation. …”

Impact of soil conservation on crop production in the Northern Ethiopian Highlands por Kassie, Menale, Pender, John L., Yesuf, Mahmud, Kohlin, Gunnar, Bluffstone, Randy, Mulugeta, Elias

“…The three methods used herein consistently show that plots with stone bunds are more productive than those without such technologies in semi-arid areas but not in higher rainfall areas, apparently because the moisture-conserving benefits of this technology are more beneficial in drier areas. …”

An improved Theileria parva sporozoite seroneutralization assay for the identification of East Coast fever immune correlates por Chege, Hannah, Githigia, S., Gathumbi, J., Chege, Naomi, Ojuok, Rose, Odaba, Josiah, Mwalimu, Stephen, Oboge, Harriet, Steinaa, Lucilla, Nene, Vishvanath, Lacasta, Anna

“…An improved assay represents a positive step toward overcoming challenges associated with variability and it might provide a more reliable means of establishing an immune correlate with protection after sub-unit vaccine administration. Methods: Herein, we describe key improvements, among them, (1) the use of frozen parasites and target cells to avoid batch-to-batch variations and (2) the development of a new assay read-out based on the detection of infected cells through flow cytometry, instead of the use of Giemsa staining and microscopic evaluation, in order to improve the reproducibility of the results. …”

Model‐based multi‐genotype characterization of drought stress target population of environments for the common bean in East Africa por Jha, Prakash Kumar, Beebe, Steve, Urban, Milan, Soto, Jonatan, Assefa, Teshale, Ramirez-Villegas, Julian

“…To address this, an attempt was made previously to assess drought stress for Eastern Africa using the Target Population of Environments (TPE) approach, albeit by using a single cultivar. Here, we extend earlier TPE work with a larger sample of representative genotypes from East Africa including commercial and breeding lines. …”

Concerted evolution at a multicopy locus in the protozoan parasite Theileria parva: Extreme divergence of potential protein-coding sequences por Bishop, Richard P., Musoke, A.J., Morzaria, S.P., Sohanpal, B.K., Gobright, E.I.

“…A multicopy locus, Tpr, which consists of tandemly arrayed open reading frames (ORFs) containing several repeated elements has been described for Theileria parva. Herein we show that probes derived from the 5'/N-terminal ends of ORFs in the genomic DNAs of T. parva Uganda (1,108 codons) and Boleni (699 codons) hybridized with multicopy sequences in homologous DNA but did not detect similar sequences in the DNa of 14 heterologous T. parva stocks and clones. …”

Earthworms influence the production of above- and belowground biomass and the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation and stress responses in Arabidopsis thaliana por Jana, U, Barot, Sébastien, Blouin, Manuel, Lavelle, Patrick M., Laffray, D, Repellin, A

“…Although these results pointed out earthworm-induced enhancement of mineralization as a determining factor in the formidable plant growth responses, the release in the drilosphere of phytohormone-like compounds by earthworm-activated bacteria was most likely implicated as well in this process and resulted in “forced” nitrogen uptake by the plants. The herein demonstrated sensitivity of the model plant A. thaliana to earthworms shows that such new experimental set up could become a central key to the development of multidisciplinary investigations on plant–soil interactions.…”
