Background Sucrose accumulation in sugarcane is affected by several environmental and
genetic factors, with plant moisture being of critical importance for its role in the synthesis …

Sugarcane crop-cycle length and yield are largely determined by the ratoon crops and drive
economic returns for farming operations. A number of factors affect ratooning ability (RA-the …

The genotype× environment interaction (G× E) influences the values of genetic gains
attained by plant breeding programs when breeding materials are evaluated in diverse agro …

In south Florida sugarcane is cultivated on muck and sandy soils. The cane yield (CY) of
varieties grown on sandy soils is substantially lower than on muck soils due to water and …

Sugarcane breeders are often faced with the problem of differential response of promising
cultivars across different environments in evaluation stages of selection. The present study …

Smallholder maize farmers in Africa experience pre-and post-harvest production stresses
either individually or in combination at different stages of the crop cycle. The maize weevil is …

Genotypes are tested in several environments to evaluate the influence of genotype×
environment interactions prior to their release as cultivars. The objective of this study was to …

Genotype× environment interactions (G× E) can reduce the genetic contribution to the
phenotype and increase minimum detectable differences, which eventually reduce selection …

In sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids) breeding, knowledge of progeny performance and
adaptability increases crossing and selection efficiency. Family evaluation across …

Abstract Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas Lam) is a staple food globally, but it has remained
underutilised resource in Ghana due to lack of consumer preferred cultivars. There is the …
