A Model of Epigenetic Inheritance Accounts for Unexpected Adaptation to Unforeseen Challenges

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A general model of inheriting changes that are acquired during the lifetime of individuals demonstrates tremendous benefits to the population, including escape from extinction in changing environments. Contrasting the model with experimental data shows that inheritance of acquired changes enables rapid adaptation to unforeseen challenges, and accounts ...

Comparative short-term performance of soil water management options for increased productivity of maize-cowpea intercropping in semi-arid Zimbabwe

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research, 2021
Rainfall variability poses a great challenge to rainfed cropping in sub-Saharan Africa. We evaluated, over three cropping seasons, conservation agriculture (reduced tillage and mulching) and farmer prioritized conventional tillage- and mulching-based ...
