International trade in fresh products is dominated by products capable of long-term refrigerated storage, allowing marketing flexibility. For tropical products, postharvest chilling injury (PCI) is a barrier to long-term storage that limits trade by exacerbating the already-challenging requirements to minimise physical or biotic damage to products. In this review, the practical consequences of PCI in terms of international trade are described. Options for choosing to grow more resistant varieties or to predict the chilling injury risk of batches of fresh products can reduce overall losses by allowing better-informed sequencing of product marketing. Recent advances in technologies that reduce PCI risk or predict its severity, some of which can be used before harvest, are reviewed. At a more fundamental level, there is a growing number of excellent reviews on the potential for gene editing to alleviate postharvest chilling injury in tropical fruits and vegetables. Most are focused on research into ways to alleviate the consequences of chilling injury: i.e. oxidative stress arising from membrane dysfunction. A few recent reports show that reducing membrane dysfunction itself is possible, for example by increasing desaturation of membrane lipids, but this approach comes with a new and predictable problem: increased preharvest susceptibility to heat stress. Refined suggestions for strategies that could produce durable improvements in product quality hold the potential for significant increases in global trade with resulting economic benefits, particularly for developing countries.

The Dorper breed developed in South Africa is used either as a pure breed or crossbred with existing indigenous breeds by many countries across the African continent to improve sheep production. This article presents documented information on the adoption, use, and performance of Dorper sheep across the continent of Africa and opportunities for their more sustainable production under the changing climatic conditions in Africa. Apart from the well-documented information on the Dorper sheep in South Africa, published information on the performance of the sheep is mainly from Eastern Africa. Most countries initially retained purebred Dorpers in nationally owned institutions for multiplication and crossbreeding trials with different indigenous breeds prior to distributing the crossbreds to diverse livestock keepers. The offspring produced through crossbreeding programs with the Dorper have better growth rates than indigenous breeds in the different countries; however, the performance of Dorper sheep in South Africa has not been achieved in any of the other countries. Genomic studies including Dorper sheep have identified regions of interest for resistance to brucellosis and Mycoplasma ovipneumonia that imply adaptability to challenging environments within Dorper sheep. Unfortunately, limitations in systems for guided breeding and monitoring of sheep productivity in Africa have resulted in haphazard crossbreeding of the Dorper. Targeted efforts are required across the different countries to develop breeding programs for improving locally adapted Dorper sheep populations and their crosses with indigenous breeds. New science and technologies need to be innovatively packaged and used to identify and propagate more productive and resilient Dorper and Dorper-based breed-types for the increasingly challenging tropical African range environments.

Background : Dengue, whose severe forms have the potential to be fatal, is the most prevalent and rapidly proliferating vector-borne viral disease worldwide. It is evolving as a significant public health and economic dilemma for both rural and urban communities. Objectives : Given the urgent need for control measures, the purpose of this study is to evaluate both traditional and contemporary preventive strategies. Results : Traditional dengue control measures, while somewhat effective, tend to provide only temporary relief. In contrast, biotechnological innovations such as paratransgenesis, sterile insect technology, and genetically modified vectors have increased the effectiveness of conventional methods. In addition, the novel discovery of vaccines and immunotherapies offers a promising avenue for the management of dengue. Discussion & Conclusion: Integration of time-tested techniques with the most recent biotechnological interventions emerges as a crucial dengue-prevention strategy. While these developments offer cause for optimism, additional research is required to determine the long-term implications and viability of these techniques. Implications : The findings have significant implications for theory, policymaking, and medical practice, highlighting the need for a combined approach to dengue management.

Research into rice-stemborer interactions for pest management has gained renewed attention in the last 10–15 years. However, recent research has tended to overlook essential concepts around the nature of stemborer rice interactions that were developed between the 1960s and early 1990s. This lack of adequate attention to issues such as tolerance, compensation, and vulnerability is apparent from the limited range of bioassays and recorded parameters currently applied during research. Furthermore, aspects of intraspecific interactions between stemborers and between rice plants, and crop-mediated interspecific interactions between stemborers as determinants of crop damage have been almost entirely omitted from recent research. This review categorizes rice-stemborer interactions to help tease apart some of the factors that contribute to differential stemborer damage and yield losses. Furthermore, based on emerging knowledge of the relationship between damage and yield losses as rice plants grow and develop, the review highlights the need for considerably more attention to aspects of plant and crop tolerance, including a need to adequately develop phenotyping methods that assess genotypic differences in the plant’s capacity to compensate for damage. Since stemborers normally occur at low densities in well-managed rice landscapes, such attention to compensation for damage will potentially increase economic thresholds and, thereby, avoid pesticide applications.

The importance of coffee crops in the global agricultural scenario goes beyond economic aspects, also encompassing political and sociocultural factors. Brazil stands out in this scenario as the largest producer and exporter of coffee in the world, with a particular emphasis on the state of Minas Gerais. Coffee production is mainly focused on the Coffea arabica L. species. However, several factors directly impact coffee crop productivity, resulting in significant losses. Among the most relevant factors are adverse climatic conditions, nutritional deficiencies, and the presence of pests and diseases. Therefore, it is essential to seek an efficient metabolic response from coffee crops in the face of biotic and abiotic stresses, developing plants that are more resistant to climate variations. Based on the literature, this review is structured as follows: first, the characteristics and growth habits of coffee crops are presented; second, 18 cultivars of Arabica coffee analyzed in the study are discussed, providing specific agronomic information for each of them; subsequently, the coffee’s phenological cycle and productivity are addressed; finally, radiometric variables such as photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (f APAR ), transmittance, reflectance, and leaf area index (LAI) are treated. The evidence gathered in this review unanimously points to the need for intensified studies on solar radiation interception and LAI in different cultivars of Arabica coffee. The literature highlights the importance of using field-obtained datasets to complement information on the characteristics and growth patterns of varieties, as well as their phenological cycle, in order to understand the plant’s behavior before and after harvesting and its relation to productivity.

While the impacts of invasive plants are commonly researched and described within the context of agriculture and restoration ecology, they receive less attention within the specific context of forestry. Forestry operations are both vulnerable to and could exacerbate the spread of invasive plants through all aspects of silviculture, all of which can lead to reduced profitability and negative impacts to the sustainability and resiliency of the ecosystems they operate within. The purpose of this review article was to synthesize the current academic and gray literature pertaining to invasive plants and forestry to inform prevention and management approaches and identify gaps in the research. We incorporated a case study from interviews with major forestry company professionals in British Columbia, Canada managing invasive species within their operations to provide critical and often overlooked perspectives and experiences. Our review provides key insights into the risks invasive plants pose to forest community and tree health, operations, economic value, and ecosystem health and identifies the need for research specific to the impacts of invasive plants and their management strategies within the context of forestry operations.

The study of intraspecific genetic variation in plant traits for use in tropical forest restoration has broad potential for increasing our ability to achieve multi-functional objectives during this era of climate change. Developing seed-sourcing guidelines that optimize phenotypic characteristics best suited to a particular planting site as well as to future conditions imposed by environmental change could be useful for effective reforestation. Because evolution operates differently across tree species, this is an especially cumbersome task in tropical forests that contain thousands of species. Partially due to this high plant diversity, research and application of intraspecific variation in genetics, plant traits, and plant function in tropical forests wane far behind less diverse forest biomes. To examine the potential for improving reforestation efforts in tropical forests by considering intraspecific variation in plant traits and functions, we review the state of knowledge on intraspecific variation in South-east Asia as a case study. We focus on the dipterocarp family ( Dipterocarpaceae ), a highly diverse family of 16 genera with approximately 695 known species that often dominate lowland tropical rainforests of South-east Asia with many of these forests in a degraded state and in need of restoration. We found that there is research accumulating to understand genetic variation in approximately 10% of these 695 species. Intraspecific molecular variation exists at different spatial scales among species with 74% of species having moderate to high population differentiation (Fst > 0.10) and 92% of species with evidence of fine-scale genetic structure. Although this suggests a high potential for trait variation, few studies associated molecular with phenotypic variation. Seventeen tree species across 11 studies revealed intraspecific variation in traits or functions. Research indicates that intraspecific variation in growth may vary two-fold and drought tolerance four-fold among genotypes highlighting the possibility to pre-adapt trees to climate change during reforestation and to use intraspecific variation to promote the use of native species in commercial forestry. Our review presents opportunities and ideas for developing seed-sourcing guidelines to take advantage of intraspecific variation in traits and function by identifying how to locate this variation, which species would benefit, and how to test for trait variation. We also highlight an emerging area of research on local adaptation, common garden studies, and adaptive drought conditioning to improve reforestation during climate change.

Sheep farming constitutes an important part of animal husbandry in underdeveloped and developing countries. In these countries, products obtained from sheep (lamb, meat, milk, wool) constitute the main source of income for breeders with low economic status. Scientific research on ruminant animals mostly focuses on cattle, but studies on sheep are limited. However, with the increasing importance of sheep breeding in recent years, the number of studies in this field has also increased. Lamb and milk yield, which is the main source of income for sheep breeding enterprises, is affected by feeding during pregnancy. Some feed additives used during pregnancy in sheep can support the health of the mother and the offspring, as well as the milk yield in the next lactation. This review is aimed to give extensive information about some substances that are used as feed additives during pregnancy in sheep and to contribute to the literature.

The whole natural complex, the system of using natural renewable natural resources depends on the state of the forestry sector of the national economy. Over the years of land reform, the area of the forest fund of Kazakhstan has more than doubled, as a result of which the search for ways to develop forestry enterprises in the country is becoming increasingly urgent. The purpose of the study is to consider the forest management and forestry units in the Republic of Kazakhstan. In the course of the study, the main indicators of the forest fund of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the period from 2015 to 2019 were analyzed. The study concludes that forestry in Kazakhstan should be aimed at protecting forests, increasing their area, and moving away from interest in forests as a source of forest resources.

The study concludes that forestry in Kazakhstan should be aimed at protecting forests, increasing their area, and moving away from interest in forests as a source of forest resources.","PeriodicalId":399225,"journal":{"name":"CABI Reviews","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130575298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abiotic factors pose a significant constraint for food security and agricultural production worldwide, and the issue has been exacerbated by extreme and rapid climate change. Heat and drought are the most important limiting factors that have a significant influence on crop growth and production. For better management, it is critical to understand the biochemical, ecological and physiological responses to these stresses. Plant responses to these challenges may be divided into three categories: phonological, physiological and biochemical. This review gives a thorough description of plant adaptations towards drought and heat stress, with a particular emphasis on identifying similarities and variations. As a result of physical damage, biological disruption and biochemical abnormalities, suboptimal water supplies and unusual temperatures negatively impact crop development and yields. However, both of these stressors have a wide range of impacts and are thus complex to explain in terms of mechanics. More profound knowledge of how plants respond to various challenges can lead to more practical solutions and management. A distinctive aspect of the phenomenon is comparing fundamental behaviour with abiotic stresses.
