Polycentric governance: Evaluating the relevance of traditional authorities in good governance in South Africa by Samson Faboye, Trynos Gumbo, Jackson Sebola

“…The study argues that good governance is defined by its ability to meet the needs of the broader populace, not simply select groups. It proposes a formalised polycentric governance framework that elevates traditional authorities as key actors in local government, with a focus on areas such as administrative hierarchy, development planning, land governance, and natural resource management. …”

Multi-Locus GWAS Mapping and Candidate Gene Analysis of Anticancer Peptide Lunasin in Soybean (<i>Glycine max</i> L. Merr.) by Rikki Locklear, Jennifer Kusumah, Layla Rashad, Felecia Lugaro, Sonia Viera, Nathan Kipyego, Faith Kipkosgei, Daisy Jerop, Shirley Jacquet, My Abdelmajid Kassem, Jiazheng Yuan, Elvira de Mejia, Rouf Mian

“…The mapping panel of 144 accessions was gathered from the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection, encompassing diverse geographical origins and genetic backgrounds, and was genotyped using SoySNP50K iSelect Beadchips. The lunasin content in soybean seeds was measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method, with lipid-adjusted soybean flour prepared from seeds obtained from the Germplasm Resource Information Network (GRIN) of USDA-ARS in 2003 and from North Carolina in 2021, respectively. …”
