Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We used pattern recognition software to correct misidentifications in a 15‐year photographic database of the last, vulnerable West African giraffe population in Niger. After revealing substantial methodological errors that had inflated population estimates by nearly 19%, we corrected individual encounter histories and applied capture‐mark‐recapture ...

Barriers to interspecific hybridization between Vigna unguiculata and Vigna vexillata
Sexual Plant Reproduction, 1992 Interspecific hybridization between Vigna unguiculata and V. vexillata always failed: no seed was obtained in both crossing directions. Two different barriers to crossability were found: a pre-zygotic barrier and a post-zygotic one. Many abnormalities were observed in pollen-tube development, which reduced the percentage of fertilization to 18–30 ...

Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Drivers of strigolactone diversity: P450s in strigolactone biosynthesis
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.This review summarizes the discovery and functional identification of cytochrome P450 in strigolactone biosynthesis, classifies and summarizes the members discovered so far, clarifies their biological significance, discusses the technology of strigolactone synthesis research, and finally describes some problems in strigolactone research and potential ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Legume plants can interact with nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) simultaneously, forming a tripartite symbiotic association. Co‐inoculation studies performed on a variety of legumes have shown that rhizobia and AMF influence each other when they co‐occur in tripartite association and affect host plant ...
