Technical report: Advancing national-scale site-specific fertilizer advisories in Ethiopia: Evidence generation, governance, and delivery readiness by Mesfin, Tewodros, Ebrahim, Mohammed, Abera, Wuletawu

“…Ethiopia’s extension and agricultural advisory landscape is undergoing a major modernization, shifting from generalized, “blanket” fertilizer packages toward precision, site-specific, data-driven fertilizer and agronomy advisories that reflect the country’s diverse agroecologies, soils, climates, and production systems. This transition is enabled by expanding national digital datasets and decision-support tools (DSTs) that translate agronomic relationships into localized, plot-level guidance. …”

Impact of foliar application of zinc and magnesium aminochelate on bean physiology and productivity in Ghana by Yeboah, Stephen, Asibuo, James, Oteng-Darko, Patricia, Adjei, Emmanuel Asamoah, Lamptey, Maxwell, Owusu Danquah, Eric, Waswa, Boaz Shaban, Butare, Louis

“…However, limited research has been undertaken to understand the response of beans to amino Zn and Mg foliar fertilizer application in Ghana. )is study was conducted to investigate the effect of zinc, magnesium, and combined zinc and magnesium foliar fertilizer application on two improved common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varieties locally referred to as Adoye and Nsroma in the forest (Fumesua) and forest-savannah transition (Akumadan) agro-ecological zones of Ghana during the 2018 and 2019 cropping seasons.)etreatments were arranged in split-plot design with the two improved common bean varieties as the main plot, and foliar fertilizer options (zinc, 200 g/ha; magnesium, 224 g/ha; combined zinc and magnesium, 100 g/ha Zn and 112 g/ha Mg) and water spray (control) as the subplot treatments. )e zinc and combined zinc and magnesium treatments had similar and significantly (P ≤ 0.05) higher plant height of 37.1 cm and 38.7 cm compared to the control and magnesium treatments. )e results also showed that chlorophyll content was approximately 15.6% higher in plants treated with zinc plus magnesium compared to the other treatments. …”

A low CO2-responsive mutant of Setaria viridis reveals that reduced carbonic anhydrase limits C-4 photosynthesis by Chatterjee, Jolly, Coe, Robert A., Acebron, Kelvin, Thakur, Vivek, Yennamalli, Ragothaman M., Danila, Florence, Lin, Hsiang-Chun, Balahadia, Christian Paolo, Bagunu, Efren, Padhma, Preiya P O.S., Bala, Soumi, Yin, Xiaojia, Rizal, Govinda, Dionora, Jacqueline, Furbank, Robert T., von Caemmerer, Susanne, Quick, William Paul

“…In C4 species, β-carbonic anhydrase (CA), localized to the cytosol of the mesophyll cells, accelerates the interconversion of CO2 to HCO3–, the substrate used by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) in the first step of C4 photosynthesis. …”

The blue light receptor ZmFKF1a recruits ZmGI1 to the nucleus to accelerate shoot apex development and flowering in maize by Wu, Fengkai, Kang, Yan, Liu, Ling, Lei, Jingxin, He, Bing, He, Yafeng, Li, Jing, Liu, Fangyuan, Du, Qingguo, Zhang, Xuecai, Xu, Jie, Zhou, Zhanmei, Yaxi, Liu, Lu, Yanli

“…ZmFKF1a interacts with GIGANTEA 1 (ZmGI1), stabilizing it and promoting its nuclear localization via a blue light-dependent mechanism. In the nucleus, ZmGI1 directly binds and activates Zea mays MADS-box 4 (ZMM4), a MADS-box gene specifically expressed in the shoot apical meristem, which drives floral transition. …”
