Leaf water potential measurements using the pressure chamber: Synthetic testing of assumptions towards best practices for precision and accuracy

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 45, Issue 7, Page 2037-2061, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Leaf water potential (ψleaf), typically measured using the pressure chamber, is the most important metric of plant water status, providing high theoretical value and information content for multiple applications in quantifying critical physiological processes including drought responses.

Maize diversity for fall armyworm resistance in a warming world

Crop Science, Volume 62, Issue 1, Page 1-19, January/February 2022., 2022
Abstract Currently, maize (Zea mays L.) production is under threat from climate change, drought, and pests such as fall armyworm (FAW) [Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)]. Since its first detection outside of its native range in 2016, FAW has spread into 76 nations across Africa and Asia adversely affecting maize production ...

Extinction risk of Mesoamerican crop wild relatives

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 3, Issue 6, Page 775-795, November 2021., 2021
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are plant taxa closely related to crops and are a source of high genetic diversity that can help adapt crops to the impacts of global change, particularly to meet increasing consumer demand in the face of the climate crisis.

Beyond participation: How to achieve the recognition of local communities’ value‐systems in conservation? Some insights from Mexico

People and Nature, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 528-541, June 2021., 2021
Abstract In this article, we explore why conservation schemes that have positive outcomes through the participation of local communities cannot necessarily be deemed as just. We observe that recognition (understood as inclusion and respect) of local communities’ value‐systems, a key factor towards environmental justice, is not often achieved in ...

Germplasm Bred for Resistance to Striga hermonthica Exhibited High Resistance Levels to Striga asiatica Compared to Commercial Checks

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Parasitic weeds belonging to the Orobanchaceae family are a menace in Sub‐Saharan African (SSA). Specifically, the two witchweeds from the genus Striga, S. hermonthica and S. asiatica, are jointly responsible for land abandonments and cereal yield reductions in the SSA.

Genome‐Wide Association Studies for Striga asiatica Resistance in Tropical Maize

International Journal of Genomics, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Striga asiatica L. is a parasitic weed in cereal crops including maize leading to tremendous yield losses up to 100% under severe infestation. The available S. asiatica control methods include cultural control options such as uprooting and burning the Striga plants before they flower, field sanitation, crop rotation, intercropping, organic matter usage,
