Genome Editing in Root and Tuber Crop Development in Sub‐Saharan Africa
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Precision genome editing, particularly using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9), is advancing crop improvement by enabling targeted and efficient genetic modifications. Root and tuber crops such as potato, cassava, sweet potato, and yam are vital for global food and nutritional

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Intercropping can enable sustainable intensification. In Africa, smallholder farmers rely on Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) as a staple food. Nevertheless, the performance of cassava intercropping emerges from management choices such as legume species selection, planting density, sowing time, and nitrogen (N) fertilisation as well as soil ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 5, Page 682-689, June 2026.ABSTRACT The rearing of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) offers a sustainable approach for producing high‐protein larvae for animal feed, contributing to waste reduction and nutrient recovery. While BSFL‐rearing is well studied, the role of non‐nutritive bulking agents such as sawdust remains unclear. Sawdust was added on top of the base substrate at 0%

The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 31, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT This article examines the historical displacement of Indigenous peoples in Venezuela, focusing on the links between indigenist policies and the exploitation of natural resources, particularly oil, throughout the 20th century. Using a combined historical and ethnographic approach, it demonstrates how the formation of the Venezuelan nation‐state

Ideal Sorting: An Extension of Preference Sorting
Journal of Sensory Studies, Volume 41, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Sorting is a rapid descriptive method that does not require trained panels and is suitable for studies involving a large number of samples. Preference Sorting (a variation of Sorting) is a recent and underexplored method that seeks to determine the characteristics that most contribute to a product's acceptance.
