Does social organisation shape crop diversity? A case study among Tharaka farmers in Kenya [PDF]
, 2012 Identifying the factors that influence crop diversity patterns in-situ is a major challenge for its conservation. Despite the role of farmers in the construction and management of crop diversity, social factors have been widely neglected in this approach.

Defense heterosis as a novel plant protection strategy: From theory to breeding practice
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Defense heterosis, the enhanced disease resistance of hybrids compared to their parents, has evolved from early observations of hybrid vigor to a novel research concept. Advances are now clarifying its diverse genetic and molecular mechanisms across various plant–pathogen interactions.

Genetic options for improving fodder yield and quality in forage sorghum
Tropical Grasslands-Forrajes Tropicales, 2015 Improving yield and quality of fodder from forage sorghum is important, especially in the semi-arid tropics, where sorghum is a major source of fodder.

The Effect of Ethanol Production on Coarse Grains: New Price Relationships [PDF]
For years, the U.S. price of grain sorghum has been settled as 95% of the price of corn. Nevertheless, the increasing demand for corn and grain sorghum in ethanol production might have changed that price relationship.

Multiple scale analysis of genetic diversity in sorghum [PDF]
, 2010 Crop species are characterised by their intimate association with human populations, their history and their practices and needs. In long domesticated crops, migration can have expanded gradually within continents and jumped between continents, shaping ...

Assessment of Striga resistance in wild relatives of sorghum under field conditions [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2018 The witch-weeds (Striga spp.) are destructive root parasites of many crops. They result in considerable crop damage, especially in the semiarid tropic parts of the world. The parasite control is difficult due to the complexity of the parasite life cycle,

Quantitative Trait Loci mapping for sugar-related traits in sweet sorghum based on high-density SNP markers : P0187 [PDF]
, 2013 Sweet sorghum, a C4 tropical grass, is becoming an important bioenergy crop. Characterizing quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling sugar content in its stem can lead to the identification of target regions for molecular breeding programs.

Weaving for action: Transformative change in biodiversity monitoring
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The Post‐2020 Kunming‐Montreal Biodiversity Framework aims to drive transformative change to halt biodiversity loss. To track progress toward its goals and targets, a dedicated monitoring framework has been established. The current biodiversity monitoring framework relies on a set of indicators developed through a unidirectional process of ...
