Livelihood heterogeneity in shaping smallholder farms' nutrient management and efficiency: the case of Ioba Province, Burkina Faso in West Africa
Low food productivity and inefficient nutrient management remain the main interrelated problems of sub-Saharan African smallholder farming systems. Understanding the problems is framed by the varying livelihood conditions ...
A Genome-Wide Association Study on the Seedless Phenotype in Banana (Musa spp.) Reveals the Potential of a Selected Panel to Detect Candidate Genes in a Vegetatively Propagated Crop
Banana (Musa sp.) is a vegetatively propagated, low fertility, potentially hybrid and polyploid
crop. These qualities make the breeding and targeted genetic improvement of this crop a
difficult and long process. The ...
Combining Ascochyta blight resistance and high yield in lentil cultivars
Ascochyta blight (AB), caused by Ascochyta lentis Bond and Vassil, is a major disease of lentil (Lens culinaris L. Medik.) causing 30–70% yield losses in

Virus-Induced Gene Silencing in Cultivated Cotton (Gossypium spp.) Using Tobacco Rattle Virus.
The study described here has optimized the conditions for virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) in three cultivated cotton species (Gossypium hirsutum, G. arboreum, and G. herbaceum) using a Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) vector. ...
Diversity in Betasatellites Associated with Cotton Leaf Curl Disease During Source-To-Sink Movement Through a Resistant Host
Cotton leaf curl is devastating disease of cotton characterized by leaf curling, vein darkening and enations. The disease symptoms are induced by DNA satellite known as Cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite (CLCuMuB), ...
How to successfully publish interdisciplinary research: learning from an Ecology and Society Special Feature
What are the factors that hinder or support publishing interdisciplinary research? What does a successful
interdisciplinary publishing process look like? We address these questions by analyzing the publishing process of ...
Representation of decision-making in European agricultural agent-based models
The use of agent-based modelling approaches in ex-post and ex-ante evaluations of agricultural policies has been progressively increasing over the last few years. There are now a sufficient number of models that it is worth ...
