Cassava root crown phenotyping using three-dimension (3D) multi-view stereo reconstruction
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/128706
Abstract
Phenotypic analysis of cassava root crowns (CRCs) so far has been limited to visual inspection and
very few measurements due to its laborious process in the feld. Here, we developed a platform for
acquiring 3D CRC models using close-range photogrammetry for phenotypic analysis. The state of the
art is a low cost and easy to set up 3D acquisition requiring only a background sheet, a reference object…

Abstract
Mentha is a strongly scented herb of the Lamiaceae (formerly Labiatae) and includes about 30 species and hybrid species that are distributed or introduced throughout the globe. These fragrant plants have been selected throughout millennia for use by humans as herbs, spices, and pharmaceutical needs. The distilling of essential oils…

A process evaluation of a home garden intervention
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/155273
Abstract
Background: Most reviews of nutrition‑sensitive programs assess the evidence base for nutrition outcomes with‑out considering how programs were delivered. Process evaluations can fill this void by exploring how or why impacts were or were not achieved. This mid‑term process evaluation examines a home garden intervention implemented in a large‑scale, livelihoods improvement program in Odisha, India. The objectives are to understand whether…

Abstract
Cover cropping is considered a cornerstone practice in sustainable agriculture; however, little attention has been paid to the cover crop production supply chain. In this Perspective, we estimate land use requirements to supply the United States maize production area with cover crop seed, finding that across 18 cover crops, on average 3.8% (median 2.0%) of current…

Climbing bean breeding for disease resistance and grain quality traits
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/127146
Abstract
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is grown in two growth types, bush and climbing beans. The latter are preferred in several regions in East and Southern African as well as in Latin America (dominant in Rwanda and Colombia), due to higher yields and resilience compared with bush type. Common bean productivity is reduced by several pests and diseases between them. Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV), which is the most common…

Abstract
Sweet potato is among the most important root crops worldwide, particularly in developing countries, and its production is affected severely by a variety of virus diseases. During the last decade, a number of new viruses have been discovered in sweet potatoes through next-generation sequencing studies. Among them are viruses belonging to the…

Transformative adaptation: From climate-smart to climate-resilient agriculture
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/131688
Abstract
In response to the climate crisis, there has been much focus on climate-smart agriculture (CSA); namely, technologies and practices that enhance adaptation, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute to food security; the so-called triple win. Success has tended to be measured in terms of the number of farmers adopting CSA with less focus given to the impacts especially on human development. CSA can…

Effect of pruning young branches on fruit and seed set in cassava
Bioversity-CIAT Alliance (Bioversity-CIAT Alliance)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/108871
Abstract
Flowering in cassava is closely linked with branching. Early-flowering genotypes branch low and abundantly. Although farmers prefer late flowering genotypes because of their erect plant architecture, their usefulness as progenitors in breeding is limited by their low seed production. In general, the first inflorescence aborts in cassava. Preventing this…

Abstract
Genomic selection (GS) based recurrent selection methods were developed to accelerate the domestication of intermediate wheatgrass [IWG, Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey]. A subset of the breeding population phenotyped at multiple environments is used to train GS…

Genomic introgressions from African rice (Oryza glaberrima) in Asian rice (O. sativa) lead to the identification of key QTLs for panicle architecture

Abstract
Abstract Background Developing high yielding varieties is a major challenge for breeders tackling the challenges of climate change in agriculture. The panicle (inflorescence) architecture of rice is one of the key components of yield potential and displays high inter- and intra-specific variability. The genus Oryza features two different crop…
