Groundwater development through sprinkler irrigation: consequences of a lack of a governance structure in Kalpitiya, Sri Lanka by Aheeyar, Mohamed M. M., Manthrithilake, Herath, Pathmarajah, S., Makin, Ian W.

“…Groundwater offers the advantage of being a more reliable and readily available resource for agriculture, and offers the basis for a ‘silent revolution’ in many areas. A groundwater-supported agricultural boom has, while imparting a large number of benefits, created its own set of obstinate problems, including over-exploitation and depletion of groundwater resources. …”

Breeding for increased grains/m2 in wheat crops through targeting critical period duration : a review by Fischer, Tony, Gonzalez, Fernanda Gabriela, Miralles, Daniel Julio

“…At the same time, knowledge of the molecular basis of the leaf response to photoperiod is such that gene editing is surely ripe to tackle the challenge of down-regulating this response only during the critical period, thereby increasing Ds and GN. …”

Selection and hybridization shaped the rapid spread of African honey bee ancestry in the Americas by Calfee, Erin, Agra, Marcelo Nicolás, Palacio, María Alejandra, Ramirez, Santiago, Coop, Graham

“…Additionally, we find no substantial reductions in genetic diversity associated with rapid expansions nor complete dropout of scutellata ancestry at any individual loci on either continent, which suggests that the competitive fitness advantage of scutellata ancestry at lower latitudes has a polygenic basis and that scutellata-European hybrid bees maintained large population sizes during their invasion. …”

Desiccation tolerance of yeheb (Cordeauxia edulis Hemsl.) seeds by Liew, Josefine

“…Seeds that maintain their viability at <5% moisture content (wwb=wet weight basis), are probably orthodox. If they tolerate 10-12.5% moisture content (MC), but not lower, they may be intermediate, and if most seeds die when desiccated to moisture contents >15-20%, then they are recalcitrant. …”
