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 ...
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 ...
Mapping paddy rice planting area in northeastern Asia with Landsat 8 images, phenology-based algorithm and Google Earth Engine
Area and spatial distribution information of paddy rice are important for understanding of food security, water use, greenhouse gas emission, and disease transmission. Due to climatic warming and increasing food demand, ...
Effect of post-emergence herbicide metribuzin application on morpho-physiological traits, yield and yield components in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik)
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is an important cool season grain legume cultivated extensively in India, Canada, Turkey, Bangladesh, Iran, China, Nepal and Syria. It is the second most important cool season food legume ...
