Genetic Diversity and Performance Evaluation of Durum Wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) Genotypes for Grain Yield and Rust Resistance in the Wolaita Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Wheat is the second most produced and consumed cereal crop globally. In Ethiopia, however, its national average yield (2.97 t/ha) remains far below potential levels due to factors such as limited access to improved varieties, prevalence of diseases, recurrent drought, and suboptimal management practices. Moreover, there is limited information available

Unlocking Genetic Variability and Heritability in Ethiopian Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) for Yield and Yield Related Traits Improvement

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is economically valuable oilseed crop known for its industrial and nutritional importance. Ethiopia is both a major producer and a secondary center of diversity for linseed; however, genetic research on the crop remains limited.

Field Validation of a Novel Xa1 Variant in Rice Variety SK20‐28 for Resistance to Bacterial Diseases in the Banfara Lowlands of Mali

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The deployment of varietal resistance remains one of the most effective, economical, and environmentally sustainable strategies for managing bacterial leaf blight (BLB) and bacterial leaf streak (BLS). Two major rice diseases are caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) and X. oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc), respectively. Previous screening identified

Multienvironment Evaluation and Stability of Food Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Genotypes in Northwestern Ethiopia

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Crop breeders are interested in knowing the buffering capacity of genotypes to select those exhibiting low genotype‐by‐environment interaction (G × E) since genotypes possessing good buffering capacity are considered desirable. Accordingly, a multienvironment trial (MET) was conducted in six environments to evaluate the performance and stability of ...

Functional Link Between IRC7 Allelic Variation and Carbon‐Sulfur‐β‐Lyase Activity in Brewing Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strains

Journal of Food Biochemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The IRC7 gene encodes a β‐lyase enzyme critical for the release of volatile thiols during beer fermentation, contributing to aroma development in fermented beverages. In this study, 15 Saccharomyces cerevisiae ale brewing strains were analyzed to investigate IRC7 allelic diversity and its functional implications.

Genetic variability and association of quantitative traits among Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) genotypes in the highlands of eastern Ethiopia

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is an important and genetically variable food crop. In Hirna, eastern Ethiopia, 49 sorghum genotypes were evaluated for genetic diversity, heritability, genetic advance, and correlations throughout the main rainy seasons of 2017 and 2018.

Yield and bunch quality component comparison between two-way crosses and multi-way crosses of DxP oil palm progenies [PDF]

, 2017
Breeding for hybrid DxP oil palm in many commercial seed producers has recently switched from simple two-way crosses to complicated multi-way crosses with the hope of increasing hybrid vigour and thus higher yield potential.

Evaluation of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Monech] genotypes for drought tolerance based on morpho‐physiological traits

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is an important crop in Ethiopia, especially in lowland areas where drought stress is a major issue. Despite its tolerance, sorghum is susceptible to water‐deficit stress during certain growth stages. To identify drought‐tolerant genotypes and traits/mechanisms contributing to drought tolerance, a study ...
