Characteristics of the BMP7 Promoter in Hu Sheep
The BMP7 gene is involved in the growth and development of hair follicles but its regulation mechanism is unclear. We studied the regulation mechanism of the BMP7 promoter by cloning the proximal promoter of BMP7 for ...
Harnessing the potential of family farming in India and China
Ninety per cent of the world’s farmers are in developing countries and 85 per cent of farms worldwide are less than 2 hectares.
Presently, family farming feeds up to 80 per cent of the population in Asia and subSaharan
Africa, ...
Genetic Resources Unit Annual Report 1990
In addition to the germplasm collected during GRU/ICARDA collecting missions, 3889 cereal, 234 food legume,s and 264 forage germplasm accessions were received from other institutions in 1989/90.
The total number of new ...
Do faba bean (Vicia faba L.) accessions from environments with contrasting seasonal moisture availabilities differ in stomatal characteristics and related traits?
Drought is a major constraint to faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production, and there are many mechanisms by which leaves can regulate water loss. Our primary objective was to test if the origin of the faba bean accessions, ...
Genome‑wide comparative analyses reveal selection signatures underlying adaptation and production in Tibetan and Poll Dorset sheep
The identification of genome-wide selection signatures can provide insights on the mechanisms of natural and/or artificial selection and uncover genes related to biological functions and/or phenotypes. Tibetan sheep are ...
The genome of cultivated peanut provides insight into legume karyotypes, polyploid evolution and crop domestication
High oil and protein content make tetraploid peanut a leading oil and food legume. Here we report a high-quality peanut genome sequence, comprising 2.54 Gb with 20 pseudomolecules and 83,709 protein-coding gene models. We ...
Tracking the dynamics of paddy rice planting area in 1986–2010 through time series Landsat images and phenology-based algorithms
Agricultural land use change substantially affects climate,water, ecosystems, biodiversity, and humanwelfare. In
recent decades, due to increasing population and food demand and the backdrop of global warming, croplands
have ...
Food Legume Nurseries: International Nursery Report 1991/92
The main objective of the program is to provide a mechanism for the multi-location testing of the genetic material of chickpea, faba beans, and lentils originating from national and International programs.
The testing aims ...
2015 - 2016 Technical Report - Food Resilience Through Root and Tuber Crops in Upland and Coastal Communities of the AsiaPacific (FoodSTART+)
The Food Resilience Through Root and Tuber Crops in Upland and Coastal Communities of the AsiaPacific (FoodSTART+) project is a 3-year research grant funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Fund (IFAD). Implemented ...
