Feeds and forages intervention strategies for improved livestock nutrition and productivity in the Northwest Highlands of Vietnam
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/137706
Abstract
Livestock production in Vietnam is critical for livelihoods particularly for ethnic minorities in the Northwest Highlands (NWH). Improved livestock management and productivity can be achieved through better feed management and increased cultivation of improved forages, to meet animal nutrition demand. This study aimed at assessing feed intervention strategies to…

Resilience – and collapse – of local food systems in conflict affected areas; reflections from Burkina Faso
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/137584
Abstract
Armed conflicts are among the major disruptions affecting local food systems in low- and middle-income countries, having devastating effects on populations’ food security. The understanding of the mechanisms linking conflicts to food insecurity is limited, however, by a lack of data on how these conflicts affect the different actors of local food systems. In this study, we aim to…

A new framework for predicting and understanding flowering time for crop breeding
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/137780
Abstract
Societal Impact Statement As the growing season changes, the development of climate resilient crop varieties has emerged as a crucial adaptation in agricultural systems. Breeding new varieties for a changing climate requires enhanced capacity to predict the complex interactions between genotype and environment that determine flowering time. Hundreds of experiments with observations of flowering, the…

Bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity in seeds of bred lines of common bean developed from Interspecific crosses
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/137785
Abstract
Knowledge is limited about the level of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of seeds from bred lines of common beans developed from interspecific crosses using four different Phaseolus species (P. vulgaris L., P. coccineus L., P. acutifolius A. Gray. Gray., and P. dumosus). In this study, differences in the nutritional quality of seeds among 112 bean genotypes…

Genetic bases of resistance to the rice hoja blanca disease deciphered by a quantitative trait locus approach
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/137789
Abstract
Abstract Rice hoja blanca (RHB) is one of the most serious diseases in rice-growing areas in tropical Americas. Its causal agent is RHB virus (RHBV), transmitted by the planthopper Tagosodes orizicolus Müir. Genetic resistance is the most effective and environment-friendly way of controlling the disease. So far, only 1 major quantitative trait locus (QTL) of Oryza sativa ssp.…

High temperature tolerance in a novel, high-quality Phaseolus vulgaris breeding line is due to maintenance of pollen viability and successful germination on the stigma
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/137781
Abstract
The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important nutritional source globally but is sensitive to high temperatures and thus particularly vulnerable to climate change. Derived from a breeding program at CIAT (Colombia), a heat-tolerant breeding line, named heat-tolerant Andean-type 4 (HTA4), was developed by a series…

Evaluating greenhouse gas mitigation through alternate wetting and drying irrigation in Colombian rice production
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/137633
Abstract
Rice demand in Latin America is increasing rapidly, but few studies have identified management practices to reduce water demand and soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for irrigated rice systems in this region. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that alternate wetting and drying (AWD) irrigation could maintain crop yields while mitigating global warming potential (GWP)…

Adaptive social protection: a persistent illusion or the way forward for climate adaptation and social inclusion?
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/135126
Abstract
The concept of adaptive social protection has evolved over the past two decades, and examples of practice point to significant potential for accelerating the interconnection between social protection mechanisms and climate-smart practices and adaption. However, there is a lack of evidence on how actual practices can and should change, and on resilience outcomes. This policy…
