Landraces are important genetic resources that have a significant role in maintaining the long-term sustainability of traditional agro-ecosystems, food, nutrition, and livelihood security. In an effort to document landraces in the on-farm conservation co
However, “Nori” popularized by the Japanese is the single most valuable marine crop grown by aquaculture with a value in excess of 1US billion $. The red algae kappaphycus and Betaphycus are now the most important sources of carrageenan, a commonly used ingredient in food, particularly ...
Recently, plant extracts were largely investigated as a practical approach to improve specific crop production sustainability and in particular to produce biostimulants. Despite its economic relevance, evidence on the large use of plant extracts to replace synthetic products like fungicides, pesticides, an...
Farmers throughout Mesoamerica continue to grow maize in variants of the milpa system in a range of agro-ecologies from arid and semiarid zones to the temperate highlands and tropical lowlands. In addition to being intercropped with common beans and squash, maize may be grown with faba beans ...
[65]. The quality of the gene set was evaluated using BUSCO (RRID: SCR_ 015008). Furthermore, BLAST (version 2.10.0) with a threshold e-value of 1e−5was used to annotate the molecular functions of predicted protein-coding genes using five databases, including the nonredundant protein ...

We use an Input–Output model to quantify to what extent the Norwegian seafood industry has created appreciable effects both in the core industries of the value chain, as well as in supplier industries through ripple effects. Although the I–O methodology dates back to the work of Leontief [9...
Each metric was scored individually, and these scores were converted to z-scores and summed to produce one overall score for husbandry quality. Although it is useful to understand the effect of individual factors, such as boma wall height or width, considering these metrics in isolation can ...
Cereals constitute a major source of human and animal nutrition. In spite of the extensive production of numerous cereal species, some information is unavailable in terms of lipid composition. Due to...
these goods are called complements in production. This occurs when the production of one good automatically produces another good as a byproduct or a kind of side-effect of the production process. Sometimes one product might be a byproduct of another, but have value for use by...
