Understanding the interactions of genotype with environment and management (G×E×M) to maize productivity in Conservation Agriculture systems of Malawi.

Summary

Research in Malawi compared maize genotypes and management practices, finding hybrids yield better overall, but open pollinated varieties show more stability in specific conditions. Conservation Agriculture is recommended for improved outcomes. Farmers should weigh hybrid advantages and OPV adaptability based on their climate.

Identification and expression analysis of SBP-Box-like (SPL) gene family disclose their contribution to abiotic stress and flower budding in pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan).

Summary

In this study, the researchers identified and analyzed the SPL gene family in pigeon pea. They found that certain genes were upregulated under salt stress conditions and performed molecular docking to predict their binding affinity with three ligands. This research may lead to improved abiotic stress resistance and developmental traits in pigeon pea.
