Phenological optimization of late reproductive phase for raising wheat yield potential in irrigated mega-environments by Pengcheng Hu, Chapman, Scott C., Sukumaran, Sivakumar, Reynolds, Matthew P., Bangyou Zheng

“…Increasing grain number through fine-tuning duration of the late reproductive phase (LRP; terminal spikelet to anthesis) without altering anthesis time has been proposed as a genetic strategy to increase yield potential (YP) of wheat. Here we conducted a modelling analysis to evaluate the potential of fine-tuning LRP in raising YP in irrigated mega-environments. …”

Carbon sequestration potential of parkland agroforestry in the Sahel by Luedeling, Eike, Neufeldt, Henry

“…Climate analogue locations indicated an uncertain climate trajectory for the Sahel, but most scenarios projected increasing aridity and reduced suitability for parklands. The potentially severe impacts of climate change on Sahelian ecosystems and the uncertain profitability of TCPs make the Sahel highly risky for carbon investments. …”

Color and Grey-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix Analysis for Predicting Sensory and Biochemical Traits in Sweet Potato and Potato by Nantongo, J.S., Serunkuma, E., Burgos, G., Nakitto, M., Kitalikyawe, J., Mendes, T., Davrieux, F., Ssali, R.T.

“…In this paper, the relationship between sensory panel and instrumental color plus texture features was evaluated. Results have shown a high correlation between the sensory panel and instrumental color in both sweet potato (up to r = 0.84) and potato (r > 0.78), implying that imaging is a potential alternative to the sensory panel for color scoring. …”

Cocoa under heat and drought stress by Mensah, E.O., Vaast, Philippe, Asare, R., Amoatey, C.A., Owusu, K., Asitoakor, B.K., Raebild, A.

“…We conclude that shade improves the physiology of cocoa, but that this may not be sufficient to compensate for the negative effects of high temperatures and severe drought exacerbated by climate change in sub-optimal conditions.…”
