Atmospheric teleconnection mechanisms of extratropical North Atlantic SST influence on Sahel rainfall [PDF]
Extratropical North Atlantic cooling has been tied to droughts over the Sahel in both paleoclimate observations and modeling studies. This study, which uses an atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) coupled to a slab ocean model that simulates this ...

Alternate phenotype–genotype selection for developing superior high-yielding irrigated rice lines
Increase grain yield potential is one of the most important objectives of any cereal crop breeding program. To efficiently develop superior rice lines by the introgression of favorable alleles for yield and yield component traits, a strategy of alternate
