INTEGRATED CROP-LIVESTOCK-FOREST SYSTEM FOR SHEEPS AND GOATS

Científic@ - Multidisciplinary Journal, 2018
The Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration (ILPF) is a soil management that, if conducted with the recommended technical and agronomic principles, allows the maximization of productivity leveraged by sustainability. The chemical, physical and biological attributes of the soil should be evaluated, based on soil and water management and conservation needs, as

Integrated Single‐Nucleus Multi‐Omics Atlases Reveal Lineage Plasticity and Regulatory Networks of Luminal Epithelial Cells During Mammary Gland Lactation and Involution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study integrates single‐cell multi‐omics, spatial transcriptomics, and cross‐species comparative analyses to systematically characterize the cellular composition and differentiation trajectories of goat mammary epithelial cells, along with the gene regulatory networks and intercellular communication mechanisms governing these trajectories, thereby

Research Note: An in vitro hypothalamic slice culture model from adult geese for investigating light-mediated regulation of avian reproduction

Poultry Science
The avian hypothalamus regulates reproduction by integrating light signals through deep brain photoreceptors, yet suitable adult in vitro models remain lacking. In this study, we established a functional hypothalamic slice culture system from adult geese.

Conditionally Significant eQTL and TWAS Analyses Identify MsRD26 as a Major Candidate Positive Regulator of Salt Tolerance in Medicago sativa L

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Salt stress significantly impacts plant growth. Through population transcriptome, eQTL and TWAS analyses, we identified several candidate genes potentially associated with salt stress response. Functional assays suggested that some of these genes may contribute to salt tolerance.

Glyphosate Herbicide Use in Urochloa brizantha Management in Intercropping With Herbicide-Resistant Maize [PDF]

Planta Daninha, 2016
The success of the intercropping among cultivated species depends on the adoption of practices that provide, in due course, greater competitive ability of a species over another. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of glyphosate herbicide

Temporary Programs, Lasting Questions: Ad Hoc Assistance in the U.S. Farm Safety Net

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large ad hoc assistance programs have returned to U.S. farm policy since 2017, operating alongside a more developed safety net built around federally subsidized crop insurance, Title I commodity programs, and standing disaster assistance. This paper reviews the renewed use of ad hoc assistance, documents its recent scale using USDA data, and ...

Rural Labor Supply and Economic Opportunities: Commuting, Migration, Tariffs, and Immigration

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some rural counties remain dependent on agricultural or manufacturing jobs, but an increasing proportion have diversified economics. Rural counties also differ in their abilities to commute to an urban market characterized by higher wages and labor productivity.

Soil water dynamics and yield in maize and Brachiaria ruziziensis intercropping

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2020
In intercropping systems, a high plant density can delay the biomass accumulation and affect the water availability to plants. This study aimed to evaluate the soil water dynamics and the crop yield performance in maize and Brachiaria ruziziensis ...
