Commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum unrooted cuttings from Uganda. [PDF]

EFSA J, 2022
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation EU/2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by unrooted cuttings of Jasminum polyanthum that are ...

Analyzing genomic variation in cultivated pumpkins and identification of candidate genes controlling seed traits

The Plant Genome, Volume 16, Issue 4, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Pumpkins are important vegetable crops widely grown worldwide, and seeds are considered a popular nutraceutical food and an excellent source of protein, oil, and vitamins. Seed size is one of the most important targets for commercial breeding in Cucurbita species; studies have shown that pumpkin seed size variation has a similar trend with ...

Wheat and faba bean intercropping and cultivar impacts on morphology, disease, and yield

Agronomy Journal, Volume 115, Issue 6, Page 3010-3024, November/December 2023., 2023
Abstract Modern agriculture relies heavily on synthetic fertilizer and pesticide inputs. Pressure is increasing to find alternatives that reduce such inputs. In comparison to monocultures, intercropping can reduce plant diseases and increase yield, thereby reducing inputs and maximizing land use efficiency.

Effect of irrigation termination times on cotton cultivars with contrasting maturities

Agronomy Journal, Volume 115, Issue 6, Page 2950-2963, November/December 2023., 2023
Abstract Optimizing irrigation termination time can save water and preserve lint yield and fiber quality in cotton. Although there is currently an irrigation termination recommendation in Georgia, the ideal time for termination could be influenced by cultivar differences in maturity.

Building a feral future: Open questions in crop ferality

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 635-649, September 2023., 2023
Given the rapidly increasing drought and temperature stresses associated with climate change, innovative approaches for food security are imperative. One understudied opportunity is using feral crops—plants that have escaped and persisted without cultivation—as a source of genetic diversity, which could build resilience in domesticated conspecifics. In

Genetic correlations between switchgrass performance in sward conditions and surrogate measures

Crop Science, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 1511-1521, July/August 2022., 2022
Abstract Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) breeders use spaced‐seedling plots for evaluations of biomass yield, but prior studies are ambiguous about the relationship between performance in spaced plots and commercial seeded sward performance. This study used a split‐plot incomplete block design to evaluate 52 half‐sib switchgrass families across two ...

Plant chemical diversity and its frequency have distinct but complementary effects on insect foraging

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1362-1371, May 2022., 2022
Whereas previous work investigates how the amount of chemical diversity in a plant population influences insect ecology, our results indicate that local spatial distribution of diversity is equally important. A key implication of this work is the potential to design cultivar mixtures spatially, at the movement scale of target organisms, to create more ...

The UCR Minicore: a resource for cowpea research and breeding

Legume Science, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2021., 2021
Abstract Incorporation of new sources of genetic diversity into plant breeding programs is crucial for continuing to improve yield and quality, as well as tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses. A minicore (the “University of California, Riverside (UCR) Minicore”) composed of 368 worldwide accessions of cultivated cowpea has been assembled, having ...

Risky Appearances, Skillful Performances: Female Islamic Preachers and Professional Style in Malaysia

American Anthropologist, Volume 123, Issue 2, Page 278-291, June 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT Mass involvement of women in Islamic associations and public religious expressions has led to an unprecedented demand for women Islamic authorities. Yet, paradoxically, the global Islamic revival has also strengthened conservative norms with regard to the exposure of women's bodies and voices.
