Climate changes will have an impact on food production and will require costly adaptive responses. Adapting to a changing environment will be particularly challenging in sub-Saharan Africa where climate change is expected to have a major impact. However, one important phenomenon that is often overlooked and is poorly documented is the ability of agro-systems to rapidly adapt to environmental va...

A study was conducted on maize incorporating a total of 28 single crosses, eight parental lines and two standard checks to determine the combining ability gene action. Among eleven traits that were studied, analysis variance revealed mean squares due genotypes, parents hybrids highly significant for all traits, except 100 grain weight in case parents, indicating presence an adequate amount gene...

In Burkina Faso, little information is available on morphological variability of amaranth and the association different genetic traits. This has been a constraint to its improvement for yield potential, whereby necessity this study which aimed at assessing 80 accessions collected in three agro-climatic zones Faso. The was conducted 2019 during rainy season. experimental design Randomized comple...

The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health data were used to test predictions from life history theory. We hypothesized that (1) in young adulthood an emerging life history strategy would exist as a common factor underlying many life history traits (e.g., health, relationship stability, economic success), (2) both environmental harshness and unpredictability would account for unique v...

The COVID19 pandemic has inflicted unprecedented global unrest to every sector of mankind. Likewise, the research and development had its own share disturbances due complete lockdown condition for a year. During this period, minimum or no activities could be carried out in lemongrass trial treatments were left uncared Comparative analyses seventeen understand impact eight agro-economic traits. ...

Excessive consumption of nitrogen (N) to enhance production, which may lead to environmental pollution. While sustainable production is threatened due to low soil fertility and organic matter. This study was carried out as a factorial experiment in the randomized complete block design and three replications at the research field of the University of Jiroft in 2018-2019. The present study invest...

The Response of Morphological and Physiological Traits Grain Yield Corn to Planting Method Sugarcane Residue Compost

Throughout tomato domestication, a large increase in fruit size was associated with a loss of dry matter and sugar contents. This study aims to dissect the contributions of genetic variation and the physiological processes underlying the relationships between fruit growth and the accumulation of dry matter and sugars. Fruit quality traits and physiological parameters were measured on 20 introgr...
