African Horned Melon (Cucumis metuliferus): Climate‐Resilient Crop and Gene Donor in the Breeding of Major Cucurbits

Plant Breeding, Volume 144, Issue 2, Page 159-181, April 2025.
ABSTRACT African horned melon (Cucumis metuliferus E. Meyer ex Naudin, 2n = 2x = 24) is an under‐researched and under‐utilised cucurbit crop primarily grown for its nutritious fruit. In its centre of diversity, the crop is valued for its relatively high tolerance to insect pests, diseases, drought and heat stress. It is a potential opportunity crop and

Bridging Breeding and Biotechnology for Tomato Resilience in Semi‐Arid Regions

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Tomatoes are global crops, valued for their nutritional content and economic importance. It is vital to grow resilient tomato varieties that meet environmental challenges and consumer expectations to meet tomato demand. Semi‐arid areas expand due to climate change, yet they are becoming significant for food growth due to the growing population, which ...

Evaluation of genetic diversity in Piper spp using RAPD and SRAP markers

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2011
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) analysis were applied to 74 individual plants of Piper spp in Hainan Island. The results showed that the SRAP technique may be more informative and more efficient and effective for studying genetic diversity of Piper spp than the RAPD technique.

Democratic interventionists versus pragmatic realists: Employing the advocacy coalition framework to explain Obama's shift in multilateralism with European allies

Politics &Policy, Volume 52, Issue 6, Page 1284-1309, December 2024.
Abstract This research employs the advocacy coalition framework (ACF) to examine two coalitions of U.S. foreign policy during the early part of Barack Obama's presidency when U.S. policy shifted from leading multilateral security operations with European allies to catalyzing others to lead.

The International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) Public Health Research Toolkit: A report from the Surveillance, Risk Assessment and Policy Sub‐group of the ISBT Transfusion Transmitted Infectious Diseases Working Party

Vox Sanguinis, Volume 119, Issue 10, Page 1122-1125, October 2024.
Abstract Background and Objectives Data provided from blood donors have contributed to the understanding of public health epidemiology and policy decisions. A recent example was during the severe acute respiratory syndrome‐related coronavirus (SARS‐CoV‐2) pandemic when blood services monitored the seroprevalence in blood donors.
