Exploring Heat-Response Mechanisms of MicroRNAs Based on Microarray Data of Rice Post-meiosis Panicle by Yan Peng, Xianwen Zhang, Yuewu Liu, Xinbo Chen

“…Then, GO-Slim classification and functional identification of these 178 target genes showed that (1) miRNAs were mainly involved in a series of basic biological processes even under heat conditions; (2) some miRNAs might play important roles in the heat resistance (such as osa-miR164, osa-miR166, osa-miR169, osa-miR319, osa-miR390, osa-miR395, and osa-miR399); (3) osa-miR172 might play important roles in protecting the rice panicle under the heat stress, but osa-miR437, osa-miR418, osa-miR164, miR156, and miR529 might negatively affect rice fertility and panicle flower; and (4) osa-miR414 might inhibit the flowering gene expression by downregulation of LOC_Os 05g51830 to delay the heading of rice. …”

The Effect of Banana Bacteria Wilt on The Socio-Economic Welfare of Farmers in Ruhinda Sub-County Rukungiri District . by Tayebwa, Rameka

“…The highest number of respondents mentioned source of mulch for maintaining and improving soil fertility, the lowest number of respondents mentioned that the disease has led to increased poverty among households and the study continued on possible measures to control banana bacteria wilt in Ruhinda sub-county Rukungiri district, the highest number of respondents mentioned heating garden tools such as hoes, machete, knives and slashers over a fire until the metal is too hot to touch is also effective in killing the bacteria, the lowest number of respondents talked of timely removal of male buds with a forked stick is important in where insect vector that visit the diseased flower parts carry the pathogen. The study recommended that there should be quarantine enforcement by the government agencies to prevent spread of banana bacteria wilt to non-infected areas, there should be policies on the use of clean planting materials and regular inspection/screening for the approved banana nurseries to dispense banana bacteria wilt disease free materials and there should be production of free banana bacteria wilt such as banana tissue culture, train and encourage more banana nurseries producers/tissue culture hardening nurseries to avail clean banana planting materials.…”
