Assessment of RUFORUM member universities in Uganda

Credible quantitative and qualitative information on existing capacities in agricultural higher education agencies in Africa are important for decisionmakers at national, regional, and international levels. Decisionmakers require data and indicators for strategic planning, policy formulation, setting priorities and benchmarks, measuring progress toward benchmarks, and identifying capacity gaps. Decisionmakers need a better understanding of the specifics of existing staffing and student capacities in the higher education sector, as well as in the wider agricultural innovation systems in Africa south of the Sahara. Access to such information will result in better policies addressing capacity issues in agricultural higher education, research, extension, and other areas. The existence of such information, however, remains extremely limited.Non-PRIFPRI2; ASTIEPT

Mitochondrial dysfunction reduces yeast replicative lifespan by elevating RAS-dependent ROS production by the ER-localized NADPH oxidase Yno1

<div><p>Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which is associated with cellular dysfunction, disease etiology, and senescence. Here, we used the eukaryotic model <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>, commonly studied for cellular aging, to demonstrate how defective mitochondrial function affects yeast replicative lifespan (RLS). We show that RLS of respiratory-deficient cells decreases significantly, indicating that the maintenance of RLS requires active respiration. The shortening of RLS due to mitochondrial dysfunction was not related to the accumulation of extrachromosomal ribosomal DNA circles, a well-known cause of aging in yeast. Instead, intracellular ROS and oxidatively damaged proteins increased in respiratory-deficient mutants. We show that, while the protein kinase A activity is not elevated, ROS generation in respiratory-deficient cells depends on RAS signaling pathway. The ER-localized NADPH oxidase Yno1 also played a role in producing ROS. Our data suggest that a severe defect in mitochondrial respiration accelerates cellular aging by disturbing protein homeostasis in yeast.</p></div
