Estimation of Actual and Potential Adoption Rates and Determinants of Improved Rice Variety Among Rice Farmers in Nigeria: The Case of NERICAs [PDF]
The article used the ATE estimation framework to derive consistent semi-parametric estimators of population adoption rates and their determinants of the NERICA (New Rice for Africa) rice varieties in Nigeria.

ABSTRACT Arginine metabolism in plants is targeted by phytopathogens such as Pseudomonas syringae strains, which produce toxins that affect enzymes of plant arginine metabolism, causing devastating infections in crops. In this work, the structural and functional properties of plant N‐acetylornithine glutamate acetyltransferase (NAOGAT), the key ...

ABSTRACT Legumes establish mutualistic symbiosis with nitrogen (N)‐fixing bacteria, which allows them to utilise atmospheric N2. Because the maintenance of symbiosis requires abundant carbon (C) sources, legumes regulate the balance between carbon consumption and nitrogen acquisition by systemically controlling the nodule number through CLAVATA1 (CLV1)‐

ABSTRACT Plant carbon‐use efficiency (CUE) is a key parameter quantifying the net carbon gain with respect to gross carbon fixation. Although it is critical for carbon cycle models, it is often assigned an empirical value due to measurement difficulty. Uncertainty remains whether CUE is affected by warming. We quantified CUE in wheat (Triticum aestivum)

ABSTRACT In nature, plants are subjected to multiple environmental stress factors simultaneously or sequentially. Recent studies revealed that when three or more stress factors impact a plant simultaneously (termed ‘multifactorial stress combination’; MFSC), plant survival declines, even if the intensity of each individual stress involved in the MFSC ...

Overlap between Fe and Zn responsive gene regulatory networks (GRNs) were found, indicative of micronutrient crosstalk, and conservation of root and leaf GRNs and genes suggests strong constraint on homeostasis networks in plants. Abstract Micronutrient stress impacts growth, biomass production, and grain yield in crops.

Transcript correlation analysis allowed the identification of several key nodes in the complex regulatory network of plant iron metabolism. Abstract Arabidopsis thaliana was the first plant genome to be fully sequenced, almost a quarter of a century ago, thanks to The Arabidopsis Genome Initiative, with contributions from scientists worldwide.

Natural Resource Endowments, Subsistence Agriculture, and Poverty in the Chhotanagpur Plateau [PDF]
The Chhotanagpur Plateau in Eastern India lies on the so-called Tribal belt and is one of the poorest regions of India. Beginning in 1998, the Indian Statistical Institute in Kolkata and the International Rice Research Institute began research to examine
