Adapting legume crops to climate change using genomic approaches

Our agricultural system and hence food security is threatened by combination of events, such as increasing population, the impacts of climate change, and the need to a more sustainable development. Evolutionary adaptation may help some species to overcome environmental changes through new selection pressures driven by climate change. However, success of evolutionary adaptation is dependent on various factors, one of which is the extent of genetic variation available within species. Genomic approaches provide an exceptional opportunity to identify genetic variation that can be employed in crop improvement programs. In this review, we illustrate some of the routinely used genomics‐based methods as well as recent breakthroughs, which facilitate assessment of genetic variation and discovery of adaptive genes in legumes. Although additional information is needed, the current utility of selection tools indicate a robust ability to utilize existing variation among legumes to address the challenges of climate uncertainty

On Geoneutrinos

Experimental data on geoneutrinos allow to admit that masses of U, Th and K in the Earth can be up to mU = 1.7 · 1017 kg, mTh = 6.7 · 1017 kg and mK/mEarth ~ 2%. These values correspond to intrinsic Earth heat flux in ~300 TW. The most part of this flux goes up in rift zones as a heated gases. Argo Project results and the measurements of the Moon intrinsic heat flux support the existence of such a big flux. So large of U, Th, K abundances were predicted by Adjusted Hydridic Earth model
