Radiosensitivity and early-stage morpho-physiological profiling of M1V1 sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) vine cuttings to different doses of gamma irradiation: breeding for mutants with virus resistance, nutritional quality, and high yield

Abstract Background Induced mutation using physical mutagens like gamma irradiation is an efficient strategy for broadening genetic diversity in vegetatively propagated polyploid crops like sweet potato ( Ipomoea batatas L. ) , where conventional breeding is constrained by high h...

The effect of drought on physiological and agronomic traits of tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter]

Increased intensity and duration of drought as a consequence of global warming is resulting in increased crop failure and food insecurity. This is particularly prevalent in regions where agriculture is rain fed, as the resultant water deficit in crop tissues as a consequence of i...
