Cost-benefit analysis for on-farm management options of improved forages in western Kenya [PDF]
, 2022 Research and development programs over the years have put a large emphasis on developing superior forage species that have high biomass production, high nutritional quality and high tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. These efforts have resulted in

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Comparative antennal single‐nucleus transcriptomics reveals cell‐type‐dependent transcriptomic divergence in Bactrocera dorsalis, with similar structural cells but divergent sensory neurons. This neuronal diversification is associated with a distinct ammonia‐sensing pathway, linking female attraction to bird‐dropping‐associated cues with nutritional ...

Drought Stress Mediated Changes in Food Crops: Mechanisms and Remediation Strategies
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work presents a multi‐scale framework for flavonoid‐mediated drought tolerance in staple food crops, integrating ROS redox regulation, antioxidant defense, rhizosphere microbial interactions, and sustainable agronomic practices. This interdisciplinary model provides core insights to develop climate‐resilient cropping systems and enhance global ...

Gender relations and women's empowerment in small-scale irrigated forage production in Ethiopia.
PLoS ONESmall-scale cultivation and irrigation of planted forages can increase the availability of good-quality animal feed in smallholder farms. However, low adoption rates of improved forage technologies in most parts of sub-Saharan Africa have been observed ...

Forage based animal production systems and sustainability, an invited keynote
Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2008 Forages are essential for the successful operation of animal production systems. This is more relevant to ruminants which are heavily dependant upon forages for their health and production in a cost-effective and sustainable manner.

Error in the Honeybee Waggle Dance Improves Foraging Flexibility [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2014 The honeybee waggle dance communicates the location of profitable food sources, usually with a certain degree of error in the directional information ranging from 10-15° at the lower margin. We simulated one-day colonial foraging to address the biological significance of information error in the waggle dance.

MOF‐Derived Cu‐TiO2/Alginate Micromotors for Buoyancy‐Regulated 3D Motion
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this work, cyanobacteria‐inspired sodium alginate (SA)/Cu‐TiO2/Fe3O4 hydrogel micromotors generate and encapsulate O2 microvesicles upon light irradiation, enabling buoyancy‐mediated Z‐axis upward migration and surface enrichment at the light‐exposed water‐air surface.
