Application of AMMI and GGE biplot to analyse the stability and G X E interaction of buckwheat genotypes in Prayagraj

This study utilized AMMI and GGE biplot analyses to evaluate 15 buckwheat genotypes across three environments in Prayagraj, identifying genotype G15 as the ideal high-yield performer for favorable conditions and G14 as the most stable and broadly adaptable variety for diverse agro-climatic settings.

Potentially toxic elements in per urban agricultural soils and vegetables with soil to plant transfer pollution assessment and human health risks in Wudil Kano State Nigeria

Although Wudil's peri-urban agricultural soils are generally unpolluted, the study reveals that Cadmium accumulation in vegetables poses a significant non-carcinogenic health risk to consumers, necessitating targeted monitoring and intervention despite low overall soil contamination levels.

Gliricidia sepium hay a potential replacement for cotton seed cake concentrate as a source of protein: Effects on serum, rumen metabolites and nutrient digestibility of young bunaji bulls

This study demonstrates that replacing up to 50% of cottonseed cake with *Gliricidia sepium* hay in the diets of growing Bunaji bulls improves metabolic status, nitrogen retention, and rumen fermentation while maintaining nutrient digestibility, establishing it as a viable and sustainable alternative protein source.

Effects of Rht-B1p, Ppd-D1b and Vrn-B1 on agronomic traits in a family-structured spring wheat population across multiple years and environments: an open and reproducible workflow combining mixed models and multivariate analyses

This study utilizes an open and reproducible workflow combining mixed models and multivariate analyses on a large spring wheat population to demonstrate that the Rht-B1p allele is the strongest multivariate discriminator for agronomic traits, while emphasizing the critical need to account for family structure to obtain unbiased effect estimates for marker-assisted selection.
