Is there a need for a forest restoration certification scheme? by Loo, J.A., Jalonen, R., Thomas, E., Bozzano, M.

“…Two important determinants of short and long term success, which often do not receive sufficient attention, are matching the right seed source to the planting site conditions and ensuring that restored populations of trees have sufficient genetic variability to be self-sustaining. Because of the enormous scale of land degradation and the funds being pledged to tackle it, standardized measures of success are of increasing importance. …”

Evidence for the presence of African swine fever virus in an endemic region of Western Kenya in the absence of any reported outbreak by Thomas, Lian F., Bishop, Richard P., Onzere, Cynthia K., Mcintosh, M.T., Lemire, K.A., Glanville, William A. de, Cook, Elizabeth A.J., Fèvre, Eric M.

“…Genotyping of a sub-set of these samples indicated that the viruses associated with the positive samples were classified within genotype IX and that these strains were therefore genetically similar to the virus associated with the 2006/2007 ASF outbreaks in Kenya. …”

Evaluation of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes for drought stress adaptation in Ethiopia by Darkwa, K., Ambachew, Daniel, Mohammed, H., Asfaw, A., Blair, Matthew W.

“…Clustering analysis using Mahalanobis distance grouped the genotypes into four groups showing high and significant inter-cluster distance, suggesting that hybridization between drought-adapted parents from the groups will provide the maximum genetic recombination for drought tolerance in subsequent generations.…”

Total and individual carotenoid profiles in Solanum phureja of cultivated potatoes. 1: Concentrations and relationships as determined by spectrophotometry and HPLC by Burgos, G., Salas, E., Amoros, W., Auqui, M., Munoa, L.P., Kimura, M., Bonierbale, Merideth W.

“…This value is to our knowledge higher than any value previously reported for potatoes, including those achieved through genetic modification. For the 23 S. phureja accessions, total carotenoid concentration was positively and significantly correlated with antheraxanthin and zeaxanthin concentrations, and negatively and significantly correlated with ß-carotene concentration.…”

Mapping of QTL associated with resistance to Cassava Brown Streak and Mosaic Diseases in outcrossing cassava cultivars locally cultivated in Tanzania by Masumba, E., Merwe, A. van der, Myburg, Z., Kapinga, F., Kasele, S., Kulembeka, H.P., Mkamilo, G.S., Rounsley, S., Prochnik, S.E., Kanju, E., Ferguson, Morag E.

“…QTL analysis using a bi-parental F1 mapping population was undertaken to identify QTL for CMD resistance in the variety ‘Albert’ and CBSD resistance in the variety ‘Namikonga’. A one-step genetic linkage map composed of 986 SNP markers and 18 linkage groups spanning 1826.3 cM was generated and used to create a framework map of 242 loci. …”

The correlation of plasma lipid levels with susceptibility of inbred laboratory mice to experimental trypanosoma congolense infection. by Hassan, M.A.

“…Because bloodstream trypanosomes cannot synthesize lipids de novo, and that resistant animals (cattle, buffalo, and mice) have lower plasma lipid levels than the susceptible ones, it was hypothesized in this work, that plasma lipids influence progression of Trypanosomiasis. Furthermore, genetic studies have mapped the quantitative trait loci (QTL) for trypanotolerance and plasma lipid levels in mice to the same region. …”
