Molecular diagnosis and vegetative compatibility group analysis of Fusarium Wilt of banana in Nepal
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/128495
Abstract
Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB), caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), is the most important constraint of the banana industry globally. In Nepal, epidemics resembling FWB have been increasingly observed on the Malbhog cultivar in the past several years. However, the disease has not been officially reported yet, and consequently, little is known about the pathogen present across…

Extensive experimental validation of a model for pneumatic drying of cassava starch
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/128494
Abstract
A pneumatic drying model, developed in a previous work, was tested and validated based on a series of 56 experiments of cassava starch drying conducted on a pilot-scale pneumatic dryer. After fitting two parameters, the average diameter of starch particles and a heat loss factor, the model predicted the effects of main operating conditions with a level of accuracy comparable to that of the experimental…

Proteomic and metabolomic integration reveals the effects of pre-flowering cytokinin applications on central carbon metabolism in table grape berries
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/128483
Abstract
Consumers around the world prefer high quality table grapes. To achieve higher quality traits at ripening, grapevine producers apply different plant growth regulators. The synthetic cytokinin forchlorfenuron N-(2-chloro-4-pyridinyl)-N'-phenylurea (CPPU) is widely used, its effect on grape quality is poorly understood. We hypothesized…

Micropropagation of four varieties of cassava (manihot sculenta crantz) with export and industrial potential in the Dominican Republic
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/128479
Abstract
Cassava (Manihot sculenta Crantz) has been a source of carbohydrates for low-income sectors of the population worldwide. Cassava is implicit in food security and sovereignty. The limitations of this crop to produce it are the lack of healthy material for planting and low yield levels. Cuttings from conventional cassava plantings are infested with pathogens…

Realizing economic and environmental gains from cultivated forages and feed reserves in Ethiopia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/128552
Abstract
The livestock sector in Ethiopia is characterized by low productivity due to inadequate supply of affordable high-quality animal feed year-round, with more acute gaps in the drought-prone regions of the country. This paper presents the economic benefits and insights into the role of cultivated forages, such as densification into pellets, in bridging gaps in feed supply. Nutrient requirement…

On the margins: a review of policies and laws in support of farmer-managed seed systems in Africa
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/128580
Abstract
A new review report concludes that seed (related) policies and laws in 14 African countries acknowledge to some degree that farmer-managed seed systems exist, but most of them do not provide concrete support for farmer-managed seed systems. Much remains to be done to promote and support the use of diverse genetic resources for climate change adaptation, e.g., through the strengthening of…

Abstract
The main finding of this review report of seed (related) policies and laws in 14 African countries is that, although in most countries there is some form of acknowledgment that farmer-managed seed systems exist, there are not many positive results related to recognition of and concrete support for farmer-managed seed systems (policy, legal, technical,…
