Anthropometric Failure and Associated Factors Among Infants Aged 6–8 Months in West Gojjam Zone, Ethiopia

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
This community‐based cross‐sectional study assessed undernutrition among 789 infants aged 6–8 months in West Gojjam Zone, Northwest Ethiopia, using composite index of anthropometric failure (CIAF). Nearly one‐third of infants experienced anthropometric failure, with stunting being the most common form.

Potential of Pornunça Hay to Improve the Fermentation Profile, Yield, and Chemical Composition of Spineless Cactus‐Based Silage

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study evaluated the fermentation profile, losses, aerobic stability, microbial populations, and nutritional value of silages produced from spineless cactus forage with increasing levels of pornunça hay. A completely randomized design with five treatments (0%, 7.5%, 15.0%, 22.5%, and 30.0% pornunça hay on a natural matter basis) and five replicates

The Impact of the Long-Distance Transport of a BEL1-Like Messenger RNA on Development [PDF]

, 2012
BEL1- and KNOTTED1-type proteins are transcription factors from the three-amino-loop-extension superclass that interact in a tandem complex to regulate the expression of target genes.

Bilateral laparoscopic ovariectomy in Dexter heifers under general anaesthesia: A description of two cases

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract This article presents two clinical cases of bilateral laparoscopic ovariectomy in Dexter heifers used as leisure animals to eliminate problematic sexual behaviour. Initial standing flank laparoscopy in one heifer failed due to anatomical limitations.

A 50‐year perspective on the use and potential of artiodactyl calcanei in bone adaptation studies

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 437-485, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Sheep and deer calcanei are important models for studying cortical (compact) and trabecular (cancellous) bone adaptation because they are amenable to direct strain measurement (due to lack of surrounding muscles), experience relatively simple/unidirectional bending, exhibit osteon remodelling, and have the most pronounced regional variations ...

The symptom and genetic diversity of cassava brown streak viruses infecting cassava in East Africa [PDF]

, 2012
The genetic and symptom diversity of six virus isolates causing cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) in the endemic (Kenya, Mozambique, and Tanzania) and the recently affected epidemic areas (Uganda) of eastern Africa was studied.

Assessment of genetic diversity of six Nigerian states’ African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa (Hochst ex. A. Rich) Harms) landraces using agronomic traits and DArTseq‐SNP markers

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract African yam bean (AYB), or sphenostylis stenocarpa (Hochst. Ex. A. Rich) Harms, is a leguminous crop with potential to enhance food security and agricultural sustainability. A total of one hundred Africa yam bean accessions from six Nigeria states were planted for agronomic evaluation.

Best Morpho-Physiological Parameters to Characterize Seed-Potato Plant Growth under Aeroponics: A Pilot Study

Agronomy
Although plant characterization under the International Potato Center’s (CIP’s) aeroponic system requires many morpho-physiological parameters to evaluate a cultivar, there is no method to evaluate the best parameters or the most suitable cultivation ...

Genome sequence and analysis of the tuber crop potato [PDF]

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world’s most important non-grain food crop and is central to global food security. It is clonally propagated, highly heterozygous, autotetraploid, and suffers acute inbreeding depression.

Toward an art of genomic selection in vegetable breeding

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Genomic selection (GS) is a powerful strategy for accelerating genetic gain in plant breeding. While in recent years GS has been widely adopted in breeding programs for agronomic crops, its implementation in vegetable breeding has been comparatively limited.
