Improved feeding and forages at a crossroads: Farming systems approaches for sustainable livestock development in East Africa [PDF]

, 2020
Dairy development provides substantial potential economic opportunities for smallholder farmers in East Africa, but productivity is constrained by the scarcity of quantity and quality feed.

Subgenome Bias and Temporal Postponement of Gene Expression Contributes to the Distinctions of Fiber Quality in Gossypium Species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
As two cultivated widely allotetraploid cotton species, although Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense evolved from the same ancestor, they differ in fiber quality; the molecular mechanism of that difference should be deeply studied.

Identification of herbicide resistance loci using a genome-wide association study and linkage mapping in Chinese common wheat

Crop Journal, 2020
Carfentrazone-ethyl and tribenuron-methyl, the two widely used herbicides for weed control in field crops, frequently cause phytotoxicity to wheat seedlings in the field. In this study, a total of 697 wheat accessions containing three panels were scanned

Candidate loci for leaf angle in maize revealed by a combination of genome-wide association study and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Leaf angle (LA) is a key component of maize plant architecture that can simultaneously govern planting density and improve final yield. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying LA have not been fully addressed.

Field Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) Control in Tef (Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter) through Various Herbicide Combinations

International Journal of Agronomy, 2022
Field bindweed is the major weed problem for tef producers across the central highlands of Ethiopia. Herbicide application alone or coupled with once or twice hand weeding for field bindweed control is difficult due to its biological features, labor ...
