The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

open access: yesiMeta, EarlyView.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Impact of Geography on Institutions in Agricultural and Nomadic Societies

open access: yesInternational Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How geography affects the choice of institutions is studied in a theoretical model. In this model, nations are located around a circle. Rulers compete through choosing tax rates, the level of military spending, and the degree of formality of institutions. Geographic condition is captured by population density.

LOW AVAILABILITY OF EFFICIENT FUNGICIDES FOR RICE BLAST CONTROL IN LOWLAND RICE CULTIVATION IN BRAZIL

open access: yesTropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2018
Rice cultivation is fundamental to Brazil's economy, which is the largest grain-producing country outside the Asian continent. However, several factors harm sustainable rice production, including diseases incidence.

Identification of blast resistant rice (oryza sativa l.) genotypes in indigenous and exotic germplasm and validation of pi gene linked molecular markers

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2016
Rice Blast, a most devastating disease of Rice caused by Magnaporthe grisea can be effectively managed by use of resistant rice genotypes. Availability of resistant donors and validated molecular markers are essential to develop resistant cultivars ...

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

How can children and young people have a voice in urban treescapes?

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientific understanding of climate change has, to date, failed to result in sufficient action. This paper proposes that a deficit model of top‐down learning and dissemination in relation to public engagement with science may be part of the problem, particularly when considering the attitudes, values and empowerment of children and young ...

Blast disease in rice culture

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Tecnologia Aplicada nas Ciências Agrárias, 2014
Rice culture can suffer great damages due to fungal diseases which affect seeds, roots, leaves and panicles, among which the blast disease stands out. In this context, the chemical control through fungicide use takes a key role, promoting healing, protecting and eradicative effects of the disease.

Feast or famine: How food deserts, wealth and greenspace correlate with coyote diets in Seattle, Washington

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban environments create unique challenges for wildlife, where dietary habits may reflect both ecological heterogeneity and societal disparities. In this study, we explored how social factors such as household income and human population density, and ecological factors such as tree canopy correlate with coyote (Canis latrans) diets in Seattle,

Molecular Screening of Blast Resistance Genes in Rice using SSR Markers

open access: yesThe Plant Pathology Journal, 2015
Rice Blast is the most devastating disease causing major yield losses in every year worldwide. It had been proved that using resistant rice varieties would be the most effective way to control this disease.

Shining light on the aurora's contributions to people: A qualitative study of the aurora borealis in Greenland

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The aurora borealis (northern lights) is an abiotic natural phenomenon that contributes to human well‐being. There is currently a significant research gap in primary qualitative valuation of the aurora's links to people. This exploratory qualitative study applies the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES ...
