Roots, tubers and bananas: Planning and research for climate resilience [PDF]
The CGIAR Research Program (CRP) on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (RTB) includes vegetatively propagated staple crops linked by common breeding, seed, and postharvest issues, and by the frequency with which women are involved in their production and use. RTB

Rice Water Weevil Control, California, 1990 [PDF]
Abstract Two experiments were conducted to compare control of RWW larvae (Experiment 1) or adults (Experiment 2) among insecticide treatments. Both tests were performed at the California Rice Experiment Station, Biggs, in 1990. Each experiment was a RCBD with 3 replications of 3 insecticide treatments and an untreated control. Treatments

Endosymbiosis allows Sitophilus oryzae to persist in dry conditions
Insects frequently associate with intracellular microbial symbionts (endosymbionts) that enhance their ability to cope with challenging environmental conditions. Endosymbioses with cuticle-enhancing microbes have been reported in several beetle families.

TMT-Based Quantitative Proteomic Profiling of Overwintering Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus
Adaptations to low temperature play a critical role in restricting the geographical distribution of insects. Decreasing day lengths and temperatures trigger seasonal cold adaptations in insects. These adaptions include changes in expression at the miRNA,

Plant pathogens as biocontrol agents of Cirsium arvense : an overestimated approach? [PDF]
Cirsium arvense is one of the worst weeds in agriculture. As herbicides are not very effective and not accepted by organic farming and special habitats, possible biocontrol agents have been investigated since many decades.
