Large chromosomal structural variations between M. acuminata and M balbisiana and their consequences on chromosome recombination and segregation in a AAAB polyploidy context [PDF]

, 2017
Many banana cultivars are triploid interspecific hybrids between M. acuminata (Genome A, 2n=22) and M. balbisiana (Genome B, 2n=22). They included the important group of Plantain cooking bananas classified as AAB.

Local valuation of ecosystem services from protected areas along a forest–savanna gradient in West Africa

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1419-1436, May 2026.
Abstract Understanding how local communities perceive and prioritise ecosystem services (ES) across diverse ecological contexts is essential for improving protected area (PA) management. However, most studies focus on single ecosystems and lack cross‐ecological comparisons. This study aimed to explore how communities living in and around PAs in Ghana's

Irrigation using slightly saline water from emerging desalination technologies as a solution to short‐term drought

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 831-842, May 2026.
With global weather patterns becoming more extreme and unpredictable, sourcing reliable irrigation water is vital for improving food security and conserving drinking water in drought‐prone areas. Emerging desalination technologies, which are still in the development phase, could potentially provide large quantities of slightly saline water for ...

Spatially Downscaling of Future Food Demand for Policy Planning

World Food Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the subnational dynamics of food demand, while accounting for the evolution of the agrifood system at the global level, remains a challenge for designing food policy to ensure food security. To link global agrifood systems with subnational food policy planning, we downscale per capita food demand for 62 food commodities at the ...

The catch of the day: The shortcomings of promoting sustainable seafood consumption in Peru

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study investigates the meaning and application of “catch of the day” in Peru by analyzing 233 news articles and genetically testing 43 fish samples from restaurants. Results show that media frequently use the term as a vague marketing phrase, while genetic testing reveals a 60% mislabeling rate. These findings suggest that “catch of the day” lacks
