Abstract
The active participation of the stakeholder community is viewed as a crucial consideration in the regional assessment of climate change in the Mediterranean. Each of the CIRCE integrating case studies has benefited from the real-life experience and expertise of local and regional stakeholders. The level of involvement has included stakeholder dialogue on an informal basis throughout the project, culminating in a series of more formal regional stakeholder workshops in the final…

Abstract
An agricultural ecosystem is an ecosystem managed with a purpose, usually to produce crops or animal products. Agricultural ecosystems are designed by humans, and are based on a long chain of experience and experiments. The emphasis in, for example, Western Europe has changed from maximum productivity only to also include environmental considerations, such as reduction of nutrient losses to groundwater and maintaining an open landscape with high biodiversity, etc. In…

The agronomy and physiology of Brachiaria species
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/54880
Abstract
This paper reviews published and unpublished information on the physiological and agronomic characteristics associated with the widespread adaptation of Brachiaria species. Adaptation to shade, drought, flooding, rainfall, and defoliation are discussed. Strong regrowth under frequent defoliation is a major factor in persistence; however, this attribute probably results in the adoption of grazing management practices that work against the…

Nutritional quality and animal production of Brachiaria pastures
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/54884
Abstract
Brachiaria grasses, especially R decumbens cv. Basilisk (signalgrass), are the most widely grown pastures in subhumid and humid tropics. When fertilized with nitrogen and well managed, these pastures have high forage quality (measured as digestibility). Animal production is therefore high and relatively stable over time. Sometimes, however, animals fed on signalgrass and other Brachiaria species sicken, or show hepatogenous…

Manipulation of apomixis in Brachiaria breeding
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/54885
Abstract
Until 10 years ago, genetic improvement of Brachiaria species depended entirely on selection among naturally existing genotypes, genetic recombination being impossible because of prevailing apomictic reproduction. However, recent advances in understanding the genetics and cytogenetics of Brachiaria, and the creation of a tetraploid sexual B. ruziziensis have opened the way for controlled genetic manipulation. Two relevant gene pools are…

Broad-spectrum resistance and susceptibility to bacterial blight and bacterial leaf streak of rice
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/98290
Abstract
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) that confer broad-spectrum resistance (BSR) have been elusive targets of crop breeding programs. Bacterial leaf streak (BLS) and bacterial blight (BB), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), respectively, are responsible for major losses in rice production in Asia and Africa. Controlling these two diseases is…
