Analysis of root-knot nematode early infection events in tomato colonized by the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae
Bioversity International (Bioversity International)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/42354
Abstract
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate root symbionts colonizing the majority of vascular plants on earth. The fungi receive photosynthetic carbon from their host, while the plant benefits from improved water and nutrient uptake, resulting in enhanced growth and survival. In addition,…

Generating farm-validated variety recommendations for climate adaptation
Bioversity International (Bioversity International)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/99195
Abstract
Crop varieties play an important role in climate adaptation, allowing farmers to adjust the varieties they use to suit new climate conditions. Several barriers stand in the way of this approach. First, variety recommendations are often based on data from trials done at research stations, which do not reflect performance in low-input agriculture.…

Abstract
Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) applied to agricultural systems, such as tropical rangelands, seeks to provide multiple services while sustaining food production. However, there is considerable debate regarding the effectiveness of PES programs for changing farmer…

Abstract
Recurrent food crises and global environmental change are critical issues that
pushed food security and sustainability to the top of the policy agenda. Policy-makers
need assessment tools that help them decide what actions they should take to achieve these
goals. This paper proposes a new metric system assessing the sustainability of food systems
and diets at…

Abstract
BackgroundDespite the abundance of edible biodiversity, both wild and cultivated, malnutrition and food insecurity persist in Busia County, Kenya, where poverty indices range from 63% to 74% and 25% of children younger than 5 years are stunted, 11% are underweight, and 4% are thin for their age…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/98533
Abstract
This study examined how crop-specific agricultural research investments can be prioritised to anticipate climate change impact on crops and to enable the production of more nutritious food. We used a simple crop modelling approach to derive expected future changes in regional climate suitability for crops…

Abstract
BackgroundBrazil is home to a large portion of the world's biodiversity, but, paradoxically, the country's agriculture and food security are very reliant on exotic or introduced crops or species. Native species are being neglected and forgotten with natural…

Abstract
Cycles of Quaternary climatic change are assumed to be major drivers of African rainforest dynamics and evolution. However, most hypotheses on past vegetation dynamics relied on palaeobotanical records, an approach lacking spatial resolution, and on current patterns of species…
