Wealth inequality and epidemics in the Republic of Venice (1400–1800)

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This article analyses wealth inequality in the Republic of Venice during 1400–1800. The availability of a large database of homogeneous inequality measurements allows us to produce the most in‐depth study of the factors affecting inequality at the local level available thus far for any preindustrial society.

How to produce more biomass for direct seeding mulched based cropping system in sub-saharian Africa ? Example in North Cameroun [PDF]

, 2010
In North Cameroon, from 2001 to 2006, more than 250 farmers tried direct seeding mulchbased cropping systems (DMC) in their fields. DMC systems were based on farmer traditional rotation i.e. cereal//cotton.

Evaluating Dryland Crop/Livestock System Alternatives for Risk Management under Declining Irrigation in the Texas Panhandle [PDF]

Production budgets for dryland crop and crop/livestock systems are developed to estimate yields, costs and returns for dryland wheat and sorghum and for alternative dryland crop/livestock systems. A crop simulation model aids yield estimation.

A natural variation within duplicated AsWRKY49‐D2 drives the subgenomic functional divergence of homeologs in salt response of allohexaploid oats

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Transcriptome analysis of oats under salt stress identified ten important salt‐responsive transcription factor families, which show extensive functional divergence among three oat subgenomes. Further integration with a genome‐wide association study under salt stress identified the AsWRKY49‐D2 gene, whose elite haplotype holds substantial potential for ...

Tandemly duplicated TaERF109 genes confer drought tolerance and post‐drought recovery in wheat

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Tandemly duplicated TaERF109 transcription factor genes in wheat modulate growth traits and enhance drought tolerance by regulating the TaMADS56 transcription facto gene, cytokinin biosynthesis‐related genes, and nicotianamine synthase genes, revealing the critical role of tandemly duplicated genes in the coordination of stress responses and ...

Key metabolites secreted by Chlorella vulgaris alleviate salt stress in soybean seedlings

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Chlorella vulgaris secretes exosome‐derived linolenic acid and inosine, which alleviate salt stress and enhance salt tolerance in soybean seedlings by activating stress‐responsive signaling networks. ABSTRACT Soil salinization is a major abiotic stress factor that reduces soybean production.
