Dissecting conserved cis-regulatory modules of Glu-1 promoters which confer the highly active endosperm-specific expression via stable wheat transformation
(Elsevier, 2019)
Wheat high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) determine dough elasticity and play an essential role in processing quality. HMW-GS are encoded by Glu-1 genes and controlled primarily at transcriptional level, ...

Importance of considering technology growth in impact assessments of climate change on agriculture
(Elsevier, 2019)
Many assessments of climate change impacts on global crop yields project declines as early as the 2020s. Losses are projected to increase with time, up to 50% by the 2080s. We carry out a systematic global review and compare ...

Collaborative research on Conservation Agriculture in Bajío, Mexico: continuities and discontinuities of partnerships
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
Agricultural technologies are debated and contested. Studying the socio-political life of agricultural research can help us to understand why some particular technologies or pathways are favoured (and others not) and ...

Determinants of sorghum adoption and land allocation intensity in the smallholder sector of semi-arid Zimbabwe
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2019)
Sorghum is important for sustainability of smallholder farmers' subsistence, social and economic livelihoods in semi-arid and arid environments of Southern Africa. However, production of the crop has been on the decline ...

Does caste determine farmer access to quality information?
(Public Library of Science, 2019)
This paper explores the social inclusiveness of agricultural extension services in India. We estimate the probability and frequency of farmers’ access to extension services and resulting changes in crop income across ...

Estimation of physiological genomic estimated breeding values (PGEBV) combining full hyperspectral and marker data across environments for grain yield under combined heat and drought stress in tropical maize (Zea mays L.)
(Public Library of Science, 2019)
High throughput phenotyping technologies are lagging behind modern marker technology impairing the use of secondary traits to increase genetic gains in plant breeding. We aimed to assess whether the combined use of ...
