Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Performance of Sorghum Recombinant Inbred Lines (RIL) developed for rain-fed areas of Sudan [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2015
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench) is the most widely produced and consumed cereal crop in Sudan. However, productivity is low since the crop is produced in favorable and unfavorable environments where the crop suffers from drought stresses at

Engineering Biochar‐Derived Functional Materials for High‐Performance Supercapacitors: Design Principles, Mechanisms, and Scalable Strategies

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biochar has emerged as a useful and adaptable source of carbon for supercapacitor electrodes. Its value comes from the way biomass chemistry, thermal conversion, and activation conditions shape the resulting pore network, surface groups, and degree of carbon ordering.

Limestone reaction in sandy soil: Rate effects, limestone type, moisture regime, and time

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
An experiment was conducted in the greenhouse facilities of Embrapa Maize and Sorghum to evaluate the limestone reaction in sandy soil based on rates, limestone type, effective calcium carbonate equivalent (ECCE), and moisture regime over time.

A Comprehensive Review of the Key Factors Affecting Biogas Production From Anaerobic Digestion of Organic Waste

CleanMat, EarlyView.
Efficient conversion of organic waste to biogas depends on the coordinated optimization of feedstock composition, pretreatment, operational parameters, reactor design, and microbial community dynamics. This review highlights how these interacting factors improve methane yield and process stability, advancing anaerobic digestion as a practical pathway ...

Synergistic Enhancement: Whole Wheat Substrate Improves Memory in Mice by Optimizing Folate Metabolism and Systemic Antioxidant Capacity

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study rigorously assessed the impact of folic acid‐fortified whole wheat products on mitigating mild liver injury caused by prolonged excessive folic acid consumption, improving folic acid bioavailability, and enhancing spatial cognitive functions in mice over a 48‐day intervention period.

Genome-Wide Characterization of the PaO Gene Family and Pyramiding Effects of Superior Haplotypes on Yield-Related Traits in Sorghum

Agronomy
The Pheophorbide a oxygenase (PaO) is a key enzyme in chlorophyll degradation and plays an important role in plant senescence. However, the PaO gene’s function in sorghum remains underexplored.

Exploiting sorghum genetic diversity for enhanced aluminum tolerance: Allele mining based on the Alt SB locus

Scientific Reports, 2018
Root damage due to aluminum (Al) toxicity restricts crop production on acidic soils, which are extensive in the tropics. The sorghum root Al-activated citrate transporter, SbMATE, underlies the Al tolerance locus, Alt SB , and increases grain yield under

Genomics of Sorghum

International Journal of Plant Genomics, 2008
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a subject of plant genomics research based on its importance as one of the world's leading cereal crops, a biofuels crop of high and growing importance, a progenitor of one of the world's most noxious weeds, and a botanical model for many tropical grasses with complex genomes. A rich history of genome analysis,
