Ecosystem Services: What they are, why they are important and how do we value and manage them
Our health and wellbeing depends upon the services provided by ecosystems and their components: water, soil, nutrients and organisms. Ecosystem services are the processes by which the environment produces resources utilized ...
Spatiotemporal patterns of paddy rice croplands in China and India from 2000 to 2015
Due to rapid population growth and urbanization, paddy rice agriculture is experiencing substantial changes in the spatiotemporal pattern of planting areas in the two most populous countries—China and India—where food ...
Climate Smart Agriculture for Building Resilience and Improving Livelihoods in Rainfed Areas
The biggest challenge, human kind facing in the 21st century is to cope up with the impacts of the climate change which is affecting
the sustainable development globally. The IPCC (Inter Governmental Panel on Climate Change) ...
Analysis of genetic diversity and population structure of peanut cultivars and breeding lines from China, India and the US using simple sequence repeat markers
Cultivated peanut is grown worldwide as richsource
of oil and protein. A broad genetic base is needed for
cultivar improvement. The objectives of this study were to
develop highly informative simple sequence repeat ...
Modeling gross primary production of paddy rice cropland through analyses of data from CO2 eddy flux tower sites and MODIS images
Accurate information on the gross primary production (GPP) of paddy rice cropland is critical for assessing and monitoring rice growing conditions. The eddy co-variance technique was used to measure net ecosystem ex- change ...
Food legume production in China
Food legumes comprise all legumes grown for human food in China as either dry grains or
vegetables, except for soybean and groundnut. China has a vast territory with complex
ecological conditions. Rotation, intercropping, ...

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 ...
Transcriptomewide sequencing provides insights into geocarpy in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
A characteristic feature of peanut is the subterranean fructification, geocarpy, in which the
gynophore (‘peg’), a specialized organ that transitions from upward growth habit to
downward outgrowth upon fertilization, drives ...
Wheat
Wheat is one of the most important staple crops of global food and nutritional security. The demand for wheat has been increasing substantially with the increasing human population pressure. Wheat genetic resources including ...
