Consumers do care! Incentivizing food safety through a market-based pull–push approach por Roesel, Kristina, Zwietering, M., Wagenberg, Coen van, Havelaar, A., Alonso, Silvia, Roothaert, R., Tacken, G., Ruben, R., Amenu, K., Ouattara, L., Lindahl, Johanna F., Ramasamy, S., Danyluk, M., Dione, Michel M., Terefe, Y., Guadu, T., Tarpaga, V., Kaboré, D., Lenjiso, Birhanu Mergesa, Grace, Delia

“…It also builds capacity of value chain actors to respond to demand and of regulators to provide an enabling environment (the “push approach”). At the same time, it strengthens food safety capacity at national level through generating evidence on the national burden of foodborne diseases and selected hazards and risks in chicken meat and vegetables. …”

Enhancing the use of crop genetic diversity to manage abiotic stress in agricultural production systems, 23-27 May 2005, Budapest, Hungary por Jarvis, D., Már, I., Sears, L.

“…Much of the world's agricultural biodiversity is found in environments marginal for agricultural production. It is in such environments where management of high levels of diversity can become a central part of the livelihood management strategies of farmers and the survival of their communities. …”

A decision makers’ guide to equitable sustainable agricultural intensification por Grabowski, Philip, Fischer, Gundula, Djenontin, I.N.S., Zulu, L., Kamoto, J., Kampanje-Phiri, J., Egyir, I., Darkwah, A.

“…Focusing only on short-term production gains, however, through technologies such as improved seeds, irrigation, fertilizers and pesticides, increases risks to the environment and human health. Assessing the sustainability of agricultural intensification must go beyond simply finding economical ways to preserve agriculture’s natural resource base and reduce environmental harm from agriculture. …”

Willingness to pay for a new biopesticide to control mango fruit flies por Tassembedo, Boureima, Ouedraogo, Mathieu, Nebie, Karim, Sinzogan, Antonio Alain Coffi, Toe, Patrice

“…To effectively control fruit flies, it is necessary for decision makers to work closely with the private sector to make the yeast waste-based biopesticide for fruit fly control affordable by creating incentives for its multiplication and distribution. …”

Identification of multiple interacting alleles conferring low glycerol and high ethanol yield in Saccharomyces cerevisiae ethanolic fermentation por Hubmann, Georg, Mathe, L., Foulquié Moreno, Maria R., Duitama, Jorge, Nevoigt, E, Thevelein, JM

“…We have screened Saccharomyces cerevisiae biodiversity for specific alleles causing lower glycerol/higher ethanol yield, assuming higher compatibility with normal cellular functionality. Previous work identified ssk1 E330N…K356N as causative allele in strain CBS6412, which displayed the lowest glycerol/ethanol ratio.We have now identified a unique segregant, 26B, that shows similar low glycerol/high ethanol production as the superior parent, but lacks the ssk1 E330N…K356N allele. …”

Identification of QTLs for shoot and root growth under ionic–osmotic stress in Lotus, using a RIL population por Quero, Gastón, Gutíerrez, Lucía, Lascano, Hernan Ramiro, Monza, Jorge, Sandal, Niels, Borsani, Omar

“…The genus Lotus includes a group of forage legume species including genotypes of agronomic interest and model species. In this work, an experimental hydroponic growth system allowed the discrimination of growth responses to ionic–osmotic stress in a population of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from L. japonicus × L. burttii and the identification of the associated quantitative trait loci (QTLs). …”

Structural aspects of dormancy in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa): Importance and possible action mechanisms of the seed coat por Ceccato, Diana Valeria, Bertero, Héctor Daniel, Batlla, Diego, Galati, Beatriz Gloria

“…The aims of this work were to evaluate the importance of seed coats in the regulation of dormancy in this species, to investigate possible mechanisms of action and to assess association of seed coat properties with changes in dormancy level caused by the environment. …”

Long-term coexistence of two invasive vespid wasps in NW Patagonia (Argentina) por Pereira, Ana Julia, Masciocchi, Maite, Corley, Juan Carlos

“…Together, these findings suggest that no matter the arrival order, V. vulgaris, always reaches higher densities than V. germanica when both species invade new regions. Our work contributes to further our understanding on the worldwide invasion processes deployed by these two eusocial insects.…”

Response of endophyte-infected and endophyte-free tall fescue plants to partial submergence at two developmental stages por Petigrosso, Lucas R., Vignolio, Osvaldo, Gundel, Pedro, Monterubbianesi, María Gloria, Assuero, Silvia Graciela

“…Partial submergence did not affect the germination of the seeds produced, nor the transmission of the endophyte to the seedlings that originated from them. Our work suggests that the invasion ability of tall fescue in the Flooding Pampa grasslands is not related to an endophyte-mediated improvement of plants to tolerate water excess.…”

Plant‐based compounds with potential as push‐pull stimuli to manage behavior of leaf‐cutting ants por Perri, Daiana, Gorosito, Norma, Fernandez, Patricia, Buteler, Micaela

“…Currently, the main control method is the use of broad‐spectrum insecticides, which have a negative effect on non‐target organisms and the environment. In this work, plant‐based compounds were evaluated in laboratory assays with Acromyrmex ambiguus Emery (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) for their potential use as repellent and attractant stimuli to be used in a push‐pull strategy. …”
