"Potato microtuber (MT) development through in vitro techniques are ideal propagules for producing high quality potato plants. MT formation is influenced by several factors, i.e., photoperiod, sucrose, hormones, and osmotic stress. We have previously developed a protocol of MT induction in medium with sucrose (8% w/v), gelrite (6g/L), and 2iP as cytokinin under darkness. To understand the molecular mechanisms involved, we performed a transcriptome-wide analysis. Here we show that 1715 up- and 1624 down-regulated genes were involved in this biological process. Through the protein–protein interaction (PPI) network analyses performed in the STRING database (v11.5), we found 299 genes tightly associated in 14 clusters. Two major clusters of up-regulated proteins fundamental for life growth and development were found: 29 ribosomal proteins (RPs) interacting with 6 PEBP family members and 117 cell cycle (CC) proteins. The PPI network of up-regulated transcription factors (TFs) revealed that at least six TFs–MYB43, TSF, bZIP27, bZIP43, HAT4 and WOX9–may be involved during MTs development. The PPI network of down-regulated genes revealed a cluster of 83 proteins involved in light and photosynthesis, 110 in response to hormone, 74 in hormone mediate signaling pathway and 22 related to aging."

Predicción fenológica del cultivo de papa mediante tiempo térmico

Phenological prediction of potato crop by means of thermal time

Hector Flores Magdaleno HILARIO FLORES GALLARDO WALDO OJEDA BUSTAMANTE (2014, [Artículo])

El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar tres métodos para predecir la fenología en el cultivo de papa (Solanum tuberosum L.) mediante tiempo térmico, para lo cual se trabajó con un total de 15 parcelas a nivel comercial sembradas con la variedad ‘Alpha’ en el norte de Sinaloa, México. Los métodos comparados fueron: temperatura media, grados día (°D) y días fenológicos de papa (P-days), los tres calculados con los datos obtenidos mediante el monitoreo en campo de cada fase fenológica durante los ciclos agrícolas otoño-invierno 2005-2006 y 2006-2007. Los resultados indicaron que el mejor método para predecir la fenología de esta variedad de papa con base en el tiempo térmico fue el P-days, porque presentó los menores valores de coeficiente de variación con 0.07 y de desviación estándar con 18.03 para todas las etapas fenológicas analizadas.

The objective of this research was to evaluate three methods to predict potato crop (Solanum tuberosum L.) phenology by means of thermal time, which were applied on 15 commercial plots sowed with the variety ‘Alpha’ in northern Sinaloa, México. The compared methods were: average temperature, degree days (°D) and potato days (P-days), all of them calculated with data obtained by field monitoring of each phenological stage during two crop seasons, Autumn-Winter seasons 2005-2006 and 2006-2007. Results showed that the best method to predict the phenology of this potato variety by means of thermal time was the P-days technique because it produced the lowest values of variation coefficient with 0.07 and of standard deviation with 18.03, for all the analyzed phenology stages. To compare the errors in thermal requirements obtained with each method in the plots, other plots were used for validation, and so it was confirmed that the P-days method showed the smallest errors, with 3.6 and 3.2 % for the root mean square error RMSE and the mean absolute error MAE, respectively.

COVID-19 and family participation in school activities.: Teaching experiences around the Learn at Home program

Evangelina Cervantes Holguín Pavel Roel Gutiérrez Sandoval (2022, [Artículo, Artículo])

The article analyzes, from the qualitative method, the participation of families and teaching staff of the first cycle of primary education in the state of Chihuahua (Mexico) to carry out the various activities of the Learn at Home program implemented in March 2020 as a response to the resulting health confinement by COVID-19. It is concluded that the participation of families in school emergency situations implies improving the relationship between teachers, families, and the community in the implementation processes of educational programs with greater support to organize study times, take advantage of the different cultural capitals and promote family co-responsibility.

Remote sensing of quality traits in cereal and arable production systems: A review

Zhenhai  Li xiuliang jin Gerald Blasch James Taylor (2024, [Artículo])

Cereal is an essential source of calories and protein for the global population. Accurately predicting cereal quality before harvest is highly desirable in order to optimise management for farmers, grading harvest and categorised storage for enterprises, future trading prices, and policy planning. The use of remote sensing data with extensive spatial coverage demonstrates some potential in predicting crop quality traits. Many studies have also proposed models and methods for predicting such traits based on multi-platform remote sensing data. In this paper, the key quality traits that are of interest to producers and consumers are introduced. The literature related to grain quality prediction was analyzed in detail, and a review was conducted on remote sensing platforms, commonly used methods, potential gaps, and future trends in crop quality prediction. This review recommends new research directions that go beyond the traditional methods and discusses grain quality retrieval and the associated challenges from the perspective of remote sensing data.
