Genetic diversity determined by agronomic traits and SSR markers in two South American orange‐fleshed sweetpotato breeding populations with potential for population hybrid breeding por Diaz, F., Eyzaguirre, R., David, M., Sevillano, R.B., Low, Jan W., Grüneberg, W.J.

“…Orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) breeding populations have gained importance for food security and health reasons. This study's main objectives were to determine genetic diversity in parental material of two OFSP populations (PJ and PZ) relative to mega-clones (MCs) using agronomic traits and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and to determine whether PJ and PZ are mutually heterotic by developing a PJ × PZ hybrid population (H0). …”

Land reclamation potential of four forage legumes along an environmental gradient in Cauca, Colombia por Sotelo Cabrera, Mauricio Efren, Vivas Quila, Nelson J., Barahona Rosales, Rolando, Cardoso, Juan Andrés, Peters, Michael

“…In soils with inherent low organic matter contents—such as the ones typically found in highly weathered soils of tropical LAC—the use of forage legumes has great potential for soil reclamation while providing feed for livestock. The reasoning behind the use of legumes for soil reclamation is to add nitrogen and readily decomposable material to the low pool of organic matter in the soil. …”

Reverse thinking: Taking a healthy diet perspective towards food systems transformations por Brouwer, Inge D., Liere, Marti J. van, de Brauw, Alan, Domínguez-Salas, Paula, Herforth, A., Kennedy, G., Lachat, Carl, Omosa, Esther B., Talsma, Elise F., Vandevijvere, S., Fanzo, J., Ruel, Marie T.

“…We review current knowledge on drivers of consumer choices at the individual and food environment level with special emphasis on low- and middle income countries, discuss the converging and conflicting objectives that exist among multiple food-system actors, and argue that failure to strengthen synergies and resolve trade-offs may lead to missed opportunities and benefits, or negative unintended consequences in food system outcomes. …”

Spatial and temporal variation in yield of rainfed lowland rice in inland valley as affected by fertilizer application and bunding in North-West Benin por Worou, Omonlola N., Gaiser, T., Saito, Kazuki, Goldbach, H., Ewert, F.

“…The experiment was conducted in a researcher-managed on-farm trial located in the North West of Benin Republic over four wet seasons (2007–2010). In addition to the toposequential positions, the experiment included two treatments: (1) fertilizer inputs: no fertilizer and fertilizer (60 kg N and 40 kg P ha−1) and (2) water control: with and without bunds (without drainage). …”

Does use of unbordered plots affect estimation of upland rice yield? por Saito, Kazuki, Dieng, I., Vandamme, Elke, Johnson, J.M., Futakuchi, K.

“…We conclude that unbordered one‐ or two‐row plots can provide reasonable estimates of grain yield of upland rice without any bias due to competition effects, except for high‐yielding one‐row plots (>350 g m−2).…”

Access to and utilization of wild species for food and nutrition security in Teso and Acholi Sub-regions of Uganda por Ekesa, Beatrice, Fongar, Andrea, Nasser, Mulumba

“…Findings showed that at the time of the study (2017), wild foods were considered to be important contributors to food and nutrition security, although the number of species reported to be available was slightly lower [91 (Acholi) and 103 (Teso)], compared to 20 years ago, where around 109 edible wild species were reportedly available in both the Acholi and Teso sub-regions. Reasons for the decline included (i) increased cultivations, and (ii) natural habitat destruction due to settlements and changes in land ownership. …”

Allometric Equations for the Biomass Estimation of Calophyllum inophyllum L. in Java, Indonesia por Basuki, T.M., Leksono, B., Baral, H., Andini, S., Wahyuni, N.S., Artati, Y., Choi, E., Shin, S., Kim, R., Yang, A.R., Samsudin, Y.B., Windyarini, E.

“…(nyamplung as a local name or tamanu tree for the commercial name) is an increasingly popular tree species in forest landscape restoration and bioenergy production for a variety of reasons. In this paper, we present allometric equations for aboveground biomass (AGB), belowground biomass (BGB), and total above- and belowground biomass (TABGB) predictions of C. inophyllum L. …”

Characterizing predatory publishing: A review por Kilonzi, Emily, Oliveira, Ana R.S., Mego, Lina, Gameda, S., Alonso, Silvia

“…Predatory publishing affects authors from all countries, although researchers from low- and middle-income countries are most likely to be targeted. Reasons to publish include a lack of awareness of the phenomenon, coupled with the pressure to publish and the easy process that predatory journals offer, very appealing particularly to early career scientists. …”

Outcomes of Policy-Oriented Research in the CGIAR por Renkow, M.

“…While this likely reflects a rational assessment of the relative costs and benefits by research managers who would undertake such studies, there are still reasons to conduct such studies. Hence, the outcomes database can help to identify and prioritize outcomes—and type of outcomes—for which quantitative assessments could be most useful. …”

Projection of the future EU forest CO2 sink as affected by recent bioenergy policies using two advanced forest management models por Böttcher, Hannes, Verkerk, Pieter Johannes, Gusti, Mykola, Havlík, Petr, Grassi, Giacomo

“…Forests of the European Union (EU) have been intensively managed for decades, and they have formed a significant sink for carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere over the past 50 years. The reasons for this behavior are multiple, among them are: forest aging, area expansion, increasing plant productivity due to environmental changes of many kinds, and, most importantly, the growth rates of European forest having been higher than harvest rates. …”
