TL;DR: AFLP and SSR markers proved to be efficient tools in assessing the genetic variability among Sorghum genotypes, and they can be used for designing breeding programmes, conservation of germplasm and management of sorghum genetic resources.

TL;DR: The objectives of this study were to analyse the amount of genetic diversity in C. moschata landraces grown in south-central Africa and classify the landraced to assist in selection of parent genotypes for improvement of fruit characteristics.

TL;DR: In this paper, two bread, one durum-and one biscuit wheat were exposed to extreme low (−5.5°C for 3h) and high (32°C/15°C day/night for three days) temperatures for two consecutive seasons.

TL;DR: The narrow genetic basis among the Ethiopian pungent elongated-fruit cultivars suggests that the pepper breeding program of Ethiopia should focus on enriching its germplasm through local collection and introductions from other parts of the world.

TL;DR: Genetic gain under optimal conditions, managed drought, random drought, low N, and MSV were estimated to have increased by 109.4, 32.7, 20.9 and 141.3 kg ha−1 yr−1, respectively, which are comparable with genetic gain in maize yields in other regions of the world.
