From Loss to Transformation? Towards Pluralistic and Politicised Agrarian‐Climate Futures

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how actors perceive and anticipate future states of the world is gaining traction in climate change governance scholarship and related calls for sustainability transformations. However, smallholder farmers, indigenous groups, and local communities, who are expected to bear disproportionate burdens of loss and damage from climate ...

The Construction of an Environmental Villain: A Discourse Analysis of Upland Maize Farming in Thailand

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the mid‐2010s, Thai public discourse has villainised upland maize cultivation in northern Thailand for deforestation and environmental degradation through the popular imagery of bald mountains. The attention has prompted a new wave of land‐use interventions urging upland smallholders to replace maize with trees and perennials.

Wild Rice Genetic Resources in Cameroon: A Review

Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology
Rice is one of the most consumed cereals in Cameroon. The in-country production cannot satisfy the population needs. However, rice can grow in the five agro ecological zones of the country. Wild rice species are important sources of genes responsible for

An effective model for community‐based conservation around authorized fishing settlements inside a devolved Wildlife Management Area in southern Tanzania

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study examines the relationship between community‐defined land use plans and de facto land use practices, and the influence of the latter on the relative abundance and distribution of large wild mammals across the Ifakara‐Lupiro‐Mangula (ILUMA) WMA, which acts as a key buffer zone between Nyerere National Park (NNP) to the east and adjacent ...

Salt glands in exo‐recretohalophytes: Development, physiological functions, and prospects for improving crop salt tolerance

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review examines salt glands in exo‐recretohalophytes, in which epidermal stem cells differentiate into unicellular, bicellular, or multicellular salt glands. Salt ions are transported to the leaves via the transpiration stream and enter salt glands through symplastic and apoplastic pathways. Finally, salt glands actively secrete salt ions from the

Genetic diversity, population structure and differentiation of rice species from Niger and their potential for rice genetic resources conservation and enhancement

, 2014
Rice genetic resources conservation and evaluation is crucial to ensure germplasm sources for further crop breeding. We conducted a wide collection of Oryza species in Niger and characterize its diversity with microsatellites (or simple sequence repeats,

Dissecting the genetic basis of climatic adaptation in wild relatives (Malus baccata) for climate‐resilient apple breeding

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This comprehensive map of genetic variation in wild apple (Malus baccata) and set of key genes associated with adaptation to temperature, precipitation, and soil properties establishes a foundation for breeding climate‐resilient apple cultivars and conserving the genetic resources of wild crop relatives.

Regenerative Agronomic Approaches: Technological, Biochemical and Rheological Characterization of Four Perennial Wheat Lines Grown in Italy

Agronomy
Cereals are the basis of the human diet, and among them, after rice and corn, wheat is the most cultivated in the world. Drought, conflicts, and high prices affect food security in many countries. The CHANGE-UP project funded by the PRIMA program aims at

Enhancing CRISPR‐Cas12a base editing in plants with LbCas12a variants and introns

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Intron optimization of LbCas12a‐RRV improves cytosine and adenine base editing efficiency in plants, supports multiplexed and double‐strand break‐free genome modification, and expands precise genome engineering tools for crop breeding and plant functional research. ABSTRACT Cytosine base editors (CBEs) and adenine base editors (ABEs) are powerful tools
