Phys.Org: A team of researchers, including FIU biology professor Eric von Wettberg, has identified the gene responsible for giving white chickpea its light seed and flower color. This genetic finding can help breeders create varieties of chickpea that will fare better against debilitating diseases, yield a higher number of seeds on the same amount land, and fetch a higher price per seed. In developing countries in Africa and Asia, farmers earn more money for selling light chickpea for their desired appearance...

Shifting monsoons to hit tea crops, researchers warn
2016-04-25 08:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Home: Slow changes in the annual monsoon season may be reducing yields in one of the worlds most important crops and gradually watering down the tea in China. Scientists in the US have used a new approach to examine harvests of Camellia sinensis the evergreen bush whose leaves and leaf buds are used to produce tea - in southern Yunnan and other regions of China, and have identified a decline that could only be linked to the retreat of the monsoon, along with greater levels of downpour. That...
