Dissertation
Physiological attributes of drought-adaptation and associated molecular markers in the seri/babax hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum, L.) population.
TL;DR: The next generation of politicians and decision-makers will have to consider climate change in a more holistic way than in the past, which had to be considered in the context of the Cold War.

Priority indigenous fruit trees in the African rainforest zone: insights from Sierra Leone
Amadu Jusu,Aida Cuni-Sanchez +1 more
TL;DR: A new approach was successfully used to identify the IFTs with greatest potential for agroforestry in Sierra Leone and this simple cost-effective approach could be used elsewhere in the tropics to establish a baseline for future domestication programs.

The Triumphant Cassava Chronicled by Foresight, Political Will and Accountability
TL;DR: A detailed account of the cassava development, particularly the varietal improvement and trends in area, production and productivity in the recent years, the political will and foresight of the pioneers in cassava research and the accountability of researchers are discussed in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tracing the domestication of the Andean root crop arracacha (Arracacia xanthorrhiza Bancr.) : a molecular survey confirms the selection of a wild form apt to asexual reproduction
Eduardo Morillo,Gérard Second +1 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that arracacha domestication started from the wild perennial form is confirmed, following this scenario of domestication followed by an unsuspected introgression in the cultivation, resulting in two cryptic genetic groups well distinguished at the molecular level.
Particular Qualities of Micro Evolutionary Adaptation Processes in Cenopopulations Medicago L. On Carbonate Forest-steppe Soils in European Russia
TL;DR: Specific adaptations and mutations in natural populations of alfalfa allow considering chalky south of the Central Russian Upland as a secondary (anthropogenic) genetic center as a result of unprogressive hybridization and adaptive processes.
