In this study, we investigated the putative drought tolerance traits of enset, a multipurpose staple crop endemic to Ethiopia that sustains over 20 million people. Our findings reveal that enset's domestication has reduced landrace diversity and trait variability, particularly in drier ...

Ultrasound imaging revealed an enlarged right perirenal lymph node, which was confirmed as lymphoma through incisional biopsy and cytopathological analysis. Despite treatment, the goat succumbed to the
