Mapping of quantitative trait loci using a doubled-haploid population from the cross of indica and japonica cultivars of rice por Lapitan, Victoria C., Redoña, Edilberto D., Abe, Toshinori, Brar, Darshan S.

“…In this study, an established rice doubled‐haploid (DH) population consisting of 219 lines from anther culture of the F1 ofindicavariety PSB Rc10 andjaponicavariety Nipponbare was used to identify the quantitative trait loci (QTL) for amylose content (AC), gel consistency (GC), and gelatinization temperature (GT). Two hundred five simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to construct a genetic linkage map covering the 12 chromosomes. …”

Rainfall forecasts, learning subsidies and conservation agriculture adoption: Experimental evidence from Zambia por Ngoma, Hambulo, Simutowe, Esau, Silva, João Vasco, Nyagumbo, Isaiah, Kalala, Kelvin, Habeenzu, Mukwemba, Thierfelder, Christian

“…We found that providing rainfall forecasts predicting low rainfall significantly increased the probability of adopting conservation agriculture by 8 percentage points, while offering a subsidy increased the chances of adoption by 11 percentage points. Bundling rainfall forecasts and subsidies did not significantly influence adoption, perhaps because these were not complementary. …”
