Genome-wide discovery of lincRNAs with spatiotemporal expression patterns in the skin of goat during the cashmere growth cycle
Background: Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) have been recognized in recent years as key regulators
of biological processes. However, lincRNAs in goat remain poorly characterized both across various tissues ...
Screening faba bean (Vicia faba L.) germplasm for resistance to persistently aphid transmitted viruses
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important, high protein food and feed crop in many countries mainly in Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA), East Africa and East Asia. The crop is affected by a number of virus ...
Influence of Rearing Substrates and Nontarget Hosts on the Bionomics of the Tachinid Parasitoid Nemorilla maculosa (Diptera: Tachinidae)
The tachinid Nemorilla maculosa Meigen (Diptera: Tachinidae) was introduced from Taiwan to Benin for evaluating its potential as a biocontrol candidate against the cowpea pest Maruca vitrata (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: ...
Cassava Market Update and short-term outlook
The regional cassava market has experience a rapid recovery from the low prices of 2016-17 in the last 12 months. By the second half of 2017 a supply shortage became apparent and prices rapidly increased, with starch price ...
Phylogenetic diversity correlated with above‐ground biomass production during forest succession: Evidence from tropical forests in Southeast Asia
1. Enhancing knowledge on the role of evolutionary history during forest succession and its relationship with ecosystem function is particularly relevant in the context of forest landscape restoration for climate change ...
Annual Cropland Mapping Using Reference Landsat Time Series—A Case Study in Central Asia
Mapping the spatial and temporal dynamics of cropland is an important prerequisite for regular crop condition monitoring, management of land and water resources, or tracing and understanding the environmental impacts of ...
Analysis of genetic variability and genotype 3 environment interactions for iron and zinc content among diverse genotypes of lentil
Deficiencies of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are major problems in developing countries especially for woman and preschool children. Biofortification of staple food crops is a sustainable approach to improve human mineral intake ...
Integrated transcriptome, small RNA and degradome sequencing approaches provide insights into Ascochyta blight resistance in chickpea
Ascochyta blight (AB) is one of the major biotic stresses known to limit the chickpea production worldwide. To dissect the complex mechanisms of AB resistance in chickpea, three approaches,namely, transcriptome, small RNA ...
Efficient and sustainable production of faba bean
Faba bean is mainly grown under rain-fed conditions, although irrigated production is important in Egypt, parts of China and Central Asia. China is the leading producer with a wide range of intensive rotation and inter-crop ...
