Genebanks and pre-breeding
The document discusses the establishment and goals of the Crop Trust, an organization founded in 2004 to promote the long-term conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA). It notes challenges facing ex situ conservation like duplication and lack of resources, and opportunities like regional networks and new technologies. The Crop Trust is working to develop a rational global system through strategies for individual crops, regeneration of unique accessions, and safety backups in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. Its vision is a tiered system with active collections, long-term genebanks, and the Seed Vault providing safety. Information systems will also be key to linking collections globally.
Partnering on CWR research at three scales: commonalities for success
The potential for crop wild relatives (CWR) to contribute to crop improvement is growing due to improvements in information on species and their diversity, advancements in breeding tools, and the growing need for exotic genetic diversity to address compounding agronomic challenges. As wild plants, CWR are subject to a myriad of human caused threats to natural ecosystems, and their representation ex situ is often far from comprehensive. Ex situ conservation of many of these wild plants is also technically challenging, particularly in an environment of insufficient resources. Enhancing conservation, availability, and access to CWR requires a spectrum of action spanning basic and applied research on wild species to inform on-the-ground collecting, ex situ maintenance, and germplasm utilization. The development of effective information channels and productive partnerships between diverse organizations are essential to the success of these actions. Here we report on a spectrum of CWR activities involving broad partnerships, at three levels: a) the collaborative compilation and distribution on over 5 million occurrence data records on the CWR of major food crops, b) the analysis of conservation concerns and genetic resources potential of the CWR of potato, sweetpotato, and pigeonpea, and c) ongoing efforts to map the diversity and conservation concerns for CWR in the USA. Although differing in scales and depth of collaborations, the success of these initiatives are largely due to commonalities in research orientation, e.g., inclusiveness, offering clear incentives for involvement, and service providing to the crop science community.

This document summarizes a study on using additional drip lines to improve soil fumigation, irrigation efficiency, and minimize environmental impacts for strawberry production in California. The study found that placing drip lines 12 inches deep and using 4 lines per bed (compared to 2 lines or sprinklers) more effectively delivered water to plant roots, moved salts away from the root zone, and killed soil pathogens like Fusarium oxysporum. Farms using 4 deep drip lines saw reduced plant mortality, greater biomass, higher yields, and water savings of up to 30% compared to standard sprinkler irrigation methods. Based on these results, growers are expanding the use of additional drip lines.

The document summarizes discussions from the 2nd International Wheat Stripe Rust Symposium. Key points include:
1. Surveillance and information sharing are needed between countries to monitor evolving wheat rust pathogens that do not respect borders.
2. National action plans and rapid responses like fungicide application or new resistant varieties are required to control emerging rust strains.
3. A long-term, coordinated global effort is required to develop durable rust resistance through continued crop research and development of new wheat varieties. Regional collaboration on research and capacity building was emphasized.
Cover Crop Education in Ohio
Cover crops can improve soil quality in Ohio by preventing erosion, cycling nutrients, and increasing active organic matter. The Ohio State University Extension is educating farmers on the benefits of cover crops through research projects, field days demonstrating successful systems, publications including factsheets and a purchaseable CD, and presentations. Surveys of over 800 participants in cover crop educational events found knowledge gains ranging from 0.78 to 0.90 on a scale of 1 to 5. As a result, more Ohio farmland is being planted with cover crops.

Novel strategies for using crop diversity in climate change adaptation
Presentation given at the session on 'Seeds of Resilience - Novel strategies for using crop diversity in climate change adaptation' at Tropentag 2016, September 21st, Vienna, by Bioversity International scientist Ronnie Vernooy.
Future impacts of climate change are expected to become more pronounced in many parts of the world, forcing farmers to change their practices and causing them to find crops and varieties better adapted to new weather dynamics. Providing farmers with better access to crop and varietal diversity can strengthen their capacity to adapt to climate change. Under supportive policy and socioeconomic conditions, such strengthened capacity could contribute to greater food availability throughout the year, the production of more nutritious and healthy crops, and income generation. This is easier said than done.
How do we design and implement a comprehensive strategy that will allow farmers to access and use plant genetic diversity more effectively in the context of climate change adaptation? This session responded to this question through an interactive introduction to the challenge of enabling farmers to use climate-adapted germplasm (led by Bioversity International), a practical example from the field to bring new diversity to farmers fields (a case study from Uganda), and a “this is how we support crop diversification for climate change adaptation” exchange among a number of experts from government (development cooperation), private sector and civil society.

Master's research proposal presentation to the department of Horticulture and Crop Science at The Ohio State University.
Abstract: Chile peppers (Capsicum annuum), which grow in southern Mexico on a environmental gradient from warm and humid coastal areas to the cool, dry highlands, present a unique opportunity to study the range of environmental tolerance and adaptation. Understanding how chile peppers have adapted to local conditions will provide insight into the importance of specific environmental factors in organizing diversity across the landscape, and highlight traits with potential for future crop improvement. Over recent years, our international research team has sampled more than 200 plants from wild, semi-wild and domesticated populations across southern Mexico. Seed from these original collections will undergo one generation of increase in the greenhouse to eliminate maternal environmental effects in seeds used for planned phenotyping experiments. Genome-wide genotyping (GBS) will be conducted on these parent plants. I will conduct two experiments aimed at assessing short-term and long-term resistance to abiotic stress. I will study short-term resistance to drought and heat stress in seedlings by overlaying factorial environmental treatments (simulating the interaction between cool highland/warm lowland temperatures and moist coastal/drier inland environments of Oaxaca, Mexico) onto chile pepper accessions from our collection. I will assess long-term (i.e. full life cycle) drought resistance by comparing the effect of a field capacity treatment with an empirically determined water stress treatment across accessions in factorial combination. Habitat drought stress indices based on the Thornthwaite potential evapotranspiration (PET) model and the Hamon estimator will be assessed as drought resistance predictors. Using a genome wide association study (GWAS) approach, I will identify significant associations between genetic markers and observed values of gas exchange, as well as plant morphology, growth characteristics and overall fitness. Information gathered through this study will provide evidence for the genetic basis of both adaptive variation and phenotypic plasticity, therefore furthering the understanding of genetic diversity in chile peppers.

Abstract: Chile peppers (Capsicum annuum), which grow in southern Mexico on a environmental gradient from warm and humid coastal areas to the cool, dry highlands, present a unique opportunity to study the range of environmental tolerance and adaptation. Understanding how chile peppers have adapted to local conditions will provide insight into the importance of specific environmental factors in organizing diversity across the landscape, and highlight traits with potential for future crop improvement. Over recent years, our international research team has sampled more than 200 plants from wild, semi-wild and domesticated populations across southern Mexico. Seed from these original collections will undergo one generation of increase in the greenhouse to eliminate maternal environmental effects in seeds used for planned phenotyping experiments. Genome-wide genotyping (GBS) will be conducted on these parent plants. I will conduct two experiments aimed at assessing short-term and long-term resistance to abiotic stress. I will study short-term resistance to drought and heat stress in seedlings by overlaying factorial environmental treatments (simulating the interaction between cool highland/warm lowland temperatures and moist coastal/drier inland environments of Oaxaca, Mexico) onto chile pepper accessions from our collection. I will assess long-term (i.e. full life cycle) drought resistance by comparing the effect of a field capacity treatment with an empirically determined water stress treatment across accessions in factorial combination. Habitat drought stress indices based on the Thornthwaite potential evapotranspiration (PET) model and the Hamon estimator will be assessed as drought resistance predictors. Using a genome wide association study (GWAS) approach, I will identify significant associations between genetic markers and observed values of gas exchange, as well as plant morphology, growth characteristics and overall fitness. Information gathered through this study will provide evidence for the genetic basis of both adaptive variation and phenotypic plasticity, therefore furthering the understanding of genetic diversity in chile peppers.

This document summarizes a coordinated research network studying the impacts of 4R nutrient stewardship practices on crop yields, soil health, and nutrient losses across sites in North America. The network included 8 research sites across 6 states/provinces from 2017-2020. Treatments included different fertilizer application timings, placements, sources, and rates. Standardized data collection allowed comparisons across sites. Preliminary findings showed 4R and advanced 4R practices improved nutrient use efficiency and reduced nitrogen losses while maintaining crop yields. Nitrous oxide emissions and nitrate leaching losses decreased under improved nutrient management, though impacts varied between sites and years. Ongoing research aims to further quantify environmental benefits and optimize fertilizer practices.

No till pumpkin production - presley
This study evaluated the effects of different cover crop treatments on soil health and pumpkin yields in no-till systems in Kansas. Soil samples were taken over three years to measure aggregation and microbial biomass. Cover crops generally improved soil aggregation compared to conventional tillage after 2-3 years. Pumpkin yields were not reduced in 4 of 5 site-years when planting directly into rolled cover crops compared to tilled plots. The results indicate cover crops can benefit soil health in pumpkin production without lowering yields when managed appropriately.

Jauhar ali. vol 4. screening for abiotic and biotic stress tolerances
This document summarizes screening methods for salinity tolerance in rice. It describes different types of salinity stress based on electrical conductivity and sodium levels. It outlines salinity screening procedures using nutrient solutions of increasing salinity in greenhouses as well as on saline farm sites. Symptoms of salinity stress in rice are shown at different growth stages. Mechanisms of salinity tolerance in plants include ion exclusion, compartmentalization in tissues and cells, and secretion of salts. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with salinity tolerance were identified in introgression lines selected for drought tolerance, indicating shared genetic regions for these stresses.

Warming temperatures are a challenge and concern for many Oregon grape growers. Taking a proactive approach and staying current on irrigation and canopy management strategies will help vineyard managers assimilate to change. Taking a closer look at the warming climate and the long term consequences on phenology will help grape growers understand how to manipulate phenology and minimize water stress. Specific strategies on irrigation management will be shared, including how to assess soil moisture, determining soil water availability, vine water status and how canopy types affect vine water use.
Wildflower growth response to construction site
1) The study evaluated the growth of three wildflower species (partridge pea, lanceleaf coreopsis, and California poppy in Trial 1; blanketflower replaced partridge pea in Trial 2) in soils with different compaction levels to determine their suitability for use on construction sites.
2) In Trial 1, coreopsis exhibited the most growth overall and was slightly sensitive to increasing soil density, while partridge pea and poppy were less affected.
3) In Trial 2, all three species showed limited sensitivity to increasing soil compaction, with coreopsis continuing to exhibit the most growth, suggesting wildflowers could provide erosion control with minimal soil preparation.

This document summarizes a national project to coordinate the assessment of dynamic soil properties (DSPs) across different soils and management systems. The project involves multiple research institutions measuring a common set of soil health indicators to develop reference values for different soil types and evaluate their usefulness. Standardized field and lab methods are used to measure indicators like aggregation, organic matter, and microbial activity. The results will help link research to soil survey databases and products by providing soil health benchmarks and analyzing which indicators best distinguish management practices. Future work includes finalizing the database, summarizing benchmarks, linking microbial data, and incorporating findings into soil survey reports.

This document discusses soil health and water quality improvement efforts through demonstration farms in Northeast Wisconsin. It notes that the Fox River is the top contributor of phosphorus to Lake Michigan. Demonstration farms were started with the acknowledgement that improving soil health through practices like maintaining soil cover and plant diversity could help achieve water quality goals. The farms receive technical support from various partners and conduct monitoring of fields before and after implementing conservation practices to study their impact. They have seen success with practices like cover cropping, manure application into growing cover crops, and "planting green" directly into living cover crops.

1615 Ecological Intensification - Lessons from SRI from Green Revolution to...SRI-Rice, Dept. of Global Development, CALS, Cornell University
Willem A. Stoop presents on ecological intensification lessons learned from the System of Rice Intensification (SRI). He discusses two approaches to intensification - conventional using modern varieties, dense planting, irrigation, and chemicals, and ecological using local varieties, low seeding rates, and organic inputs. SRI is presented as an example of an agro-ecological approach using practices like young seedlings, wide spacing, and alternate wetting and drying of soils. SRI results in increased growth, yields, and resilience through enhanced root and soil biology. However, SRI challenges conventional agricultural sciences' focus on increasing planting densities and fertilizer use over soil health and plant spacing.Integrating Cover Crops into Specialty Crops Production; Gardening Guidebook ...

This document summarizes research on using sensors and remote monitoring via RFID tags to track environmental conditions like temperature during transport and storage of perishable foods like strawberries. By monitoring temperature histories, models can automatically estimate remaining shelf life. The research validated models against physical inspections of strawberry quality, finding differences of up to 9.5 hours between predicted and observed shelf life over 7 days. Accounting for first expired products using FEFO decision making was estimated to reduce retail shrink by 30% compared to FIFO. Overall, the research aims to reduce waste in the postharvest supply chain by intelligently managing distribution based on real-time shelf life estimates.
Winter Production of Nebraska Strawberries
The document discusses a research project to establish winter strawberry production in a heated high tunnel in Nebraska. The objectives are to test the feasibility of commercial winter strawberry production through tracking costs, yields, and profitability. Startup costs for constructing the high tunnel and initial plants totaled $29,471. Water and fuel usage was monitored. Yields were higher in the winter compared to the university's greenhouse. While losses were incurred in the first year, the researchers believe winter strawberry production could be profitable with adjustments to production timing and utilizing the high tunnel for other crops or transplants. The project involves collaboration between university researchers and a specialty crop grower.

This document summarizes research on improving strawberry production and postharvest quality in the mid-Atlantic states. It describes trials conducted across four North Carolina locations testing different planting dates and row cover use to maximize yields. Preliminary results found row covers advanced harvest and increased yields by 1-13% depending on location and cultivar. Postharvest trials evaluated fruit from two cultivars treated pre-harvest with different solutions, finding treated fruit remained marketable after one week of storage. The project aims to provide grower education and economic analyses to help address issues like reduced production, postharvest losses, and inconsistent profits for small growers.

Deep Software Variability and Frictionless Reproducibility
Deep Software Variability and Frictionless ReproducibilityUniversity of Rennes, INSA Rennes, Inria/IRISA, CNRS
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
