Optimization of the composition of crop collections for ex situ conservation [PDF]

, 2009
Many crop genetic resources collections have been established without a clearly defined conservation goal or mandate, which has resulted in collections of considerable size, unbalanced composition and high levels of duplication.

Chitosan‐protected dsRNA increases efficacy against Helicoverpa armigera without compromising biosafety for pollinators

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Chitosan/tripolyphosphate/double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) nanoparticles enhance RNA interference efficacy of orally delivered dsRNA against Helicoverpa armigera. Nanoparticles reduce the LC50 and do not cause deleterious effects or toxicity on beneficial insects.

Roots, tubers and bananas: Planning and research for climate resilience [PDF]

, 2017
The CGIAR Research Program (CRP) on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (RTB) includes vegetatively propagated staple crops linked by common breeding, seed, and postharvest issues, and by the frequency with which women are involved in their production and use. RTB

Modulation of KATP channels by diazoxide preserves mitochondrial function and barrier integrity under staurosporine‐induced epithelial stress

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Intestinal barrier dysfunction caused by mitochondrial stress, oxidative damage and apoptosis, are hallmarks of dysbiosis‐associated gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Staurosporine causes downstream features of dysbiosis‐induced epithelial damage.

Molecular Labelling Tool for Cereal Genetic Resources Management Derived from Barley and Tetraploid Wheat Genebank-Genomics Projects

Plants
Globally, 5.94 million accessions are conserved across 867 genebanks, of which 41.5% (2.47 million) are cereal crop accessions. Only a small portion of global germplasm diversity has been marker-genotyped or genome-sequenced.

Rice EMF3 Alleles Adjust Flower Opening Time to Enhance the Seed Setting Rate Under High Temperature Stress

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To safeguard global food security against rapid population growth and a warming world, the effective genetic improvement of cereals is imperative. Flower opening time (FOT) critically affects the seed setting rate. In this study, we identified a gene, EARLY‐MORNING FLOWERING 3 (EMF3), in which single‐nucleotide substitutions strongly modulate ...
