One of the efforts to increase rice production can be done by utilizing land between plantation crops. However, obstacle faced intercrops among crops is low light intensity received plants. The solution that use new high yielding varieties are shade tolerant. This study aims produce several have good adaptation growth and yield in shaded conditions under coconut stands. used a Randomized Block ...

Adapting to climate change in vulnerable coffee regions is crucial maintain rural livelihoods. Among the solutions, breeding strategies aim produce varieties with higher output performance than traditional while reducing competition for land. This paper investigates of hybrid (e.g., Starmaya and Centroamericano – H1), introgressed Marsellesa obatá) Caturra Villa Sarchi) varieties. By using plot...

Rice is the fourth most important crop in Italy with a growing area under organic management. We conducted participatory evaluation of 21 rice cultivars (10 old, 10 modern and mixture) four organic/biodynamic farms, for two cropping seasons, to assess extent varieties × farms years within farm interactions farmers’ preferences. There were significant differences between varieties, as well large...

The argan tree (Argania spinosa) occurs in a restricted area of Southwestern Morocco characterized by low water availability and high evapotranspirative demand. Despite the adaptation of the argan tree to drought stress, the extent of the argan forest has declined markedly due to increased aridity, land use changes and the expansion of olive cultivation. The oil of the argan seed is used for co...

Local adaptation of plant species is a central issue for survival during global climate change, especially for long-lived forest trees, with their lengthy regeneration time and spatially limited gene flow. Identification of loci and/or genomic regions associated with local adaptation is necessary for knowledge of both evolution and molecular breeding for climate change. Cryptomeria japonica is ...
