Section: News from Around the World
 The
International Food Policy and Research Institute (IFPRI) and its
partners released the Global Nutrition Report 2014, the first-ever
comprehensive narrative on health and country-level progress toward
reducing malnutrition across the globe. The report contains a global
profile and country profiles on nutrition for each of the United
Nations' 193 member states, with accounts on the specific developments
happening for each country. It will be a centerpiece of the 2nd
International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) in Rome on November 19-21,
2014. Furthermore, the report includes case studies from Bangladesh, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Indonesia, and India. Country profiles provide dashboards of more than 80 indicators of nutrition outcomes, determinants, program coverage, resources, and political commitment. For more information about the report, visit http://www.ifpri.org/ |

 The
US Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) has granted non-regulatory status to event KK179, with commercial name HarvXtraTM, a genetically engineered low-lignin alfalfa
variety from Monsanto and Forage Genetics International developed in
cooperation with the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation and the U.S. Dairy
Forage Research Center. The cells of the biotech alfalfa were manipulated to reduce the production of lignin, increasing digestibility and widening the harvest window for the alfalfa. The U.S. Dairy Forage Research Center says increased digestibility would mean more beef and milk produced per pound of feed and less manure from those animals. The alfalfa is not currently available for sale and is still pending regulatory approvals from key export markets with functioning regulatory systems.

 A team of Mexican researchers and crop advisers studied the main pests causing reduction in maize production and the main methods used to combat the pests from 2010-2013. The researchers found the diversity of growing conditions to be the greatest problem in the implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) programs for Mexico's 2 million maize growers. They also pointed out that another obstacle is the lack of insect resistant Bt maize varieties which are grown in 90 percent of maize fields in the U.S. and produce yields three times larger than Mexican yields. "According to our estimates, 3,000 tons of organophosphate active ingredient is sold in Mexico each year to control only fall armyworm, only on corn," said Professor Urbano Nava-Camberos of the Universidad Juárez del Estado de Durango, and one of the authors of the study. "In addition, applications are also made to cutworms, corn rootworms, borers, and corn earworms that do not necessarily coincide with the fall armyworm applications. However, all of these insect pests can be effectively controlled with Bt corn and integrated pest management programs." The study is published in the Journal of Integrated Pest Management.

 Scientists from the University of Arkansas have found out that they can harness photosynthesis to increase rice yields by up to 30 percent. Led by Andy Pereira, the research group examined a protein that acts as a "switch" to activate genes that can enhance the photosynthesis activity of rice plants. The researchers discovered that the protein, known as higher yield rice (HYR), could enable the plants to survive stress, thrive and increase productivity. Pereira said "The regulator HYR does regulate photosynthesis, a complex process. I saw in the greenhouse that the plants using the HYR regulator were much greener than any others. It was because of more chlorophyll, hence, higher photosynthesis." Plants under stress shut down photosynthesis to stop producing reactive oxygen, which is damaging to them. This is where the HYR regulator protein comes in by keeping the whole photosynthesis machinery active and maintaining productivity, Pereira explained. The research showed that HYR increases photosynthesis, which increases sugars, increases biomass and finally leads to more grain yield among normal rice cultivars.
