Generation mean analysis of the key earliness related traits in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp)

Scientific African, 2022
The nature of gene action controlling agronomic traits enables plant breeders to execute a successful crop improvement programme. To elucidate the type of gene action governing the key earliness related traits in cowpea, seven populations of the six ...

Adaptive Responses of Tropical Crops: A Multi‐Scale Omics Integrated Perspective

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tropical crops integrate genomic, morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations to thrive under extreme and variable environments. This review highlights how natural selection, domestication, and breeding shape stress resilience, resource‐use strategies, and productivity in sugarcane, banana, cassava, rubber and oil palm, offering new routes

Determining the optimal inoculant rate to maximize soybean productivity in the Guinea Savanna agro-ecological zone of Ghana

Scientific Reports
Soybean productivity in sub-Saharan Africa is often constrained by low soil fertility and limited biological nitrogen fixation (BNF). This study evaluated the effects of different rhizobial inoculant rates (0, 5, 7.5, 10, and 12.5 g kg−1 seed) on growth,

Garryanalyzer: A morphometric workflow and open‐source ImageJ plug‐in for quantitative morphological analysis of Pacific Northwest Quercus leaves

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Accurate species identification is crucial for ecological restoration and can be especially challenging for understudied non‐model species. Quercus garryana is the only native oak species in the Pacific Northwest and is an important component of the endangered oak savanna ecosystem.
