Tef as a case for investment in orphan crop breeding and seed systems development Open
Orphan crops are crops that are of substantial importance to food security and economic growth at a local or regional scale, yet lacking investment in crop improvement and seed systems development. Tef is an example of such an orphan crop.…

Translating theory into practice: A flexible decision-making tool to support the design and implementation of climate-smart agriculture projects Open
CONTEXT: Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is a conceptual framework for responding climate-related risk in agriculture across the three pillars of Mitigation, Resilience, and Production. Existing tools have been developed which seek to oper…

New protocol for rapid cassava multiplication in field conditions: a perspective on speed breeding Open
Despite the economic and social importance, high-yielding cassava cultivars are only released after extensive research, mainly due to the low multiplication rate. This study aimed to assess the impact of using smaller-sized seed cuttings t…

Looking BAK again: Is an old acquaintance of innate immunity involved in the detection of herbivores? Open
The membrane-based receptor-like kinase BAK1 has been reported to interact with a number of other membrane-based receptors to contribute to a variety of signaling responses to exogenous and endogenous cues. These include brassinosteroid ho…
