A review of varietal change in roots, tubers and bananas: consumer preferences and other drivers of adoption and implications for breeding

Graham Thiele et al.

Summary: Insufficient priority given to consumer-preferred traits by breeding programmes contributes to limited uptake of modern varieties, while the impact of gender differences in consumer preferences and the informal seed system on varietal change remains unresolved and inconsistent.

Suitability of root, tuber, and banana crops in Central Africa can be favoured under future climates

Rhys Manners et al.

Summary: Climate change is projected to negatively impact food systems in Sub-Saharan Africa, especially root, tuber, and banana crops in the Great Lakes Region. Research demonstrates that shifting planting schedules and utilizing different crop varieties can improve crop suitability under future climates.

Increases in extreme heat stress in domesticated livestock species during the twenty-first century

Philip Thornton et al.

Summary: The study examines the impact of anthropogenic climate change on domesticated livestock worldwide, particularly the increase in extreme heat stress risk for outdoor animals. By the end of this century, it is projected that the risk of heat stress will significantly increase in many parts of the tropics and some temperate zones.

Target Population of Environments for Wheat Breeding in India: Definition, Prediction and Genetic Gains

Leonardo Abdiel Crespo-Herrera et al.

Summary: The study defined target population of environments for wheat breeding in India, estimated correlated response to selection and prediction ability in SEs in Mexico, and calculated grain yield gains in different TPEs. Results showed varied response and yield gains across the three TPEs, with prediction accuracy affected by genotype-environment interaction and meteorological information. These findings can help optimize wheat breeding efforts to develop elite germplasm with stable yields, reducing farmers' risk from annual environmental variations in India's wheat lands.
