Sorghum [
Sorghum bicolor
(L.) Moench] is a vital cereal crop in dry regions worldwide. However, in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), grain yields from currently grown varieties remain low (< 1 ton/ha) and exhibit variable nutrient composition. Therefore, the objective of this study was to undertake a genetic analysi...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) is a nutritious crop widely adapted to grow in arid and semi-arid agro-ecologies, supporting millions of households, and it has the potential to enhance soil health. However, extreme drought and heat stress conditions curtail its yield potential, requiring global efforts to develop...

The aim of this review is to present integrative techniques for hybrid breeding in Eucalyptus based on conventional methods such as phenotypic selection and controlled hybridization, and modern genomic-assisted approaches to guide product development.
Groundnut, or peanut, is an industrial oilseed crop that serves the food and feed industries and provides income along the value chain. Pre‐ and post‐harvest aflatoxin contamination, caused by
Aspergillus
spp., hinders the food and feed value and market opportunities of groundnut products. Developing and deployin...

Maize streak virus (MSV) is a major constraint on maize production in the dry and hot tropics, where susceptible cultivars suffer complete yield loss. The objective of this study was to assess the response of tropical-environment-adapted maize inbred lines for MSV resistance and major agronomic traits to identify p...
