Environmental trade-offs and policy recommendations for livestock intensification in the Northwest Highlands of Vietnam
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/158403
Abstract
The Northwest Highlands (NWH) of Vietnam have great potential for livestock development because of their favorable climate and strategic proximity to China, a major consumer of meat products from Vietnam. Despite this potential, livestock farming in the region remains small-scale, with challenges including low-quality breeds, inadequate feed sources, and limited land for…

Challenges for ex situ conservation of wild bananas: seeds collected in Papua New Guinea have variable levels of desiccation tolerance
Bioversity-CIAT Alliance (Bioversity-CIAT Alliance)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/109939
Abstract
Ex situ seed conservation of banana crop wild relatives (Musa spp. L.), is constrained by critical knowledge gaps in their storage and germination behaviour. Additionally, challenges in collecting seeds from wild populations impact the quality of seed collections. It is, therefore,…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/110861
Abstract
We studied the textural and rheological (viscoelastic) properties of fresh lafun dough, a fermented cassava product, and their changes during storage at 45 °C for 5 and 24 h, in order to determine after‐cooking storability. Lafun flours were produced from three types of cassava varieties: seven improved white‐fleshed varieties…

Large-scale analysis of tandem repeat variability in the human genome
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/41887
Abstract
Tandem repeats are short DNA sequences that are repeated head-to-tail with a propensity to be variable. They constitute a significant proportion of the human genome, also occurring within coding and regulatory regions. Variation in these repeats can alter the function and/or expression of genes allowing organisms to swiftly adapt to novel…

Abstract
Effective altruism is an ethical framework for identifying the greatest potential benefits from investments. Here, we apply effective altruism concepts to maximize research benefits through identification of priority stakeholders, pathosystems, and research questions and technologies. Priority stakeholders for research benefits may include smallholder farmers…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/107070
Abstract
Grasslands occupy almost half of the world's land area. Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a key indicator of soil fertility and grassland productivity. Increasing SOC stocks (so‐called SOC sequestration) improves soil fertility and contributes to climate change mitigation by binding atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).…
