Screening for Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) Resistance in Early‐Maturing Tropical Maize Adapted to Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Early‐Stage Phenotypic Variation, Repeatability and Multivariate Profiling of Macauba (Acrocomia spp.) Hybrids

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Macauba (Acrocomia spp.) is an underutilised palm, native to Brazil and other tropical regions of the Americas, with substantial potential for vegetable oil and bioenergy production. However, its long juvenile phase delays the identification of promising parents and hybrid combinations. This study characterised the early vegetative performance

Agreement of Hematologic Measurements Between Jugular and Coccygeal Puncture Sites in Cattle

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In bovine medicine, venipuncture is commonly performed at either the jugular or coccygeal vein. Although the coccygeal site is often preferred for practical reasons, sampling sites are inconsistently standardized in scientific studies.

Variability and Character Association in F2 Segregating Population of Different Commercial Hybrids of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2010
The F2 segregating generations of exotic tomato hybrids were studied to measure variability, character association and path coefficient analysis. Analysis of variance for each trait showed significant differences among the genotypes.

Genetic diversity in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] genotypes based on agro‐morphological traits using univariate and multivariate statistical techniques

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is a versatile leguminous crop that plays a vital role in biodiesel production, livestock feed, and enhancing global food security. Soybean production and productivity in Ethiopia are low compared to the national potential, mainly due to the lack of high‐yielding genotypes.

Genetic variability, heritability, and trait associations for growth and yield characters in kola [Cola nitida (Vent) Schott. & Endl.]

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Genetic enhancement of crop plants such as kola [Cola nitida (Vent) Schott. & Endl.] can be made effective and efficient via estimates of genetic parameters. Our study evaluated genetic parameters to provide insights into heritable variability and character associations in kola to guide variety development.

Genetic variability, heritability, and trait associations for yield and grain dimensions in diverse rice genotypes

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a critical staple crop, necessitating continuous genetic improvement to enhance yield and quality traits to meet global food demands. This study aims to identify high‐yielding genotypes with desirable quality traits and elucidate the relationships among traits to inform breeding strategies. Twenty‐seven rice genotypes
