'Rice,' 'sorghum,' 'pearl millet' and 'finger millet' in Nilo-Saharan

, 2023
This study overviews the geographical distribution of the terms for four major types of crops cultivated in Africa, ‘rice,’ ‘sorghum,’ ‘pearl millet’ and ‘finger millet’ in Nilo-Saharan languages. Most Nilo-Saharan languages lack a native term for ‘rice,’ but a number of languages attest a loanword from Arabic or Swahili.

Delineating gender/sex‐related studies through bibliometric analysis

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 77, Issue 8, Page 1015-1031, August 2026.
Abstract The multidisciplinary and socially grounded nature of Women's/Gender/Feminist Studies poses unique challenges for bibliometric analysis, as it extends beyond conventional disciplinary boundaries. This paper makes three key contributions: (1) We propose a novel retrieval method for constructing a corpus of scholarly documents in research areas ...

Farmers’ Perceptions of Finger Millet Production Constraints, Varietal Preferences and Their Implications to Finger Millet Breeding in Uganda

Journal of Agricultural Science, 2014
Finger millet is an important food security and cash crop in Uganda but its production is constrained by a number of factors. However, information on farmers’ perceptions of constraints and varietal preferences is limited. A study was conducted to; identify varieties and varietal preferences in finger millet, and assess farmers’ constraints to finger ...

A Meta‐Analysis Reveals That the Protective Role of Silicon in Grasses Against Fungal Pathogens Depends on Infection Mechanism

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5947-5964, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Pathogen infection drives plant community structure and constrains global agricultural productivity. Silicon (Si) improves resistance to abiotic and herbivory stress, particularly in grasses, but relatively little attention has addressed Si‐mediated resistance to pathogens, nor has it tested how this varies according to the type of plant and ...

Five Weeks of Sprint Interval Training Increase Absolute Power Output Within Severe‐Intensity Domain Without Altering Muscle Activation or Fatigability

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The study aimed to investigate whether a 5‐week sprint interval training (SIT) could improve neuromuscular function (NMF), alter electromyographic activity (EMG), and attenuate fatigability, ultimately resulting in improved cycling performance during constant work rate (CWR) exercise within the severe‐intensity domain.

Constructing National Identity Through Museums in Early Republican Turkey: Historical Narrative, Spatial Transformation, Exhibiting Modernity, and Monumentality

Curator: The Museum Journal, Volume 69, Issue 3, Page 373-389, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines the role of museums in the construction of national identity during the Early Republican Period in Turkey (1923–1950). Drawing on theoretical approaches that interpret museums as spaces in which collective memory and national identity are materially organized and publicly communicated, the study analyzes museums as key ...

Effect of Legume-Finger Millet Intercropping on Finger Millet Productivity and Soil Organic Carbon Stocks

East African Journal of Agriculture and Biotechnology
The soils in the semi-arid areas of eastern Uganda are mainly ferralsols and plinthosols, characterised by low soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil fertility. On-farm experiments were therefore conducted in Kumi and Amuria districts in the parishes of Olupe and Kuju, respectively, in eastern Uganda.

Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins in crops: Advances in functional mechanisms and breeding applications

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 1973-2000, July 2026.
Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins coordinate nucleus‐organelle communication by modulating RNA metabolism within chloroplasts and mitochondria. This review highlights how they control critical processes like photosynthesis, seed development, fertility restoration, and stress survival in crops, and explores their potential as programmable tools for RNA ...
