Early warning and advisory can contribute to enhanced wheat stem and yellow rust management in Ethiopia

Abstract Wheat rusts are major constraints for global wheat production, leading to substantial yield and economic losses. To mitigate rust related production risks, disease forecast models generate time and location-specific information on the emergence and spread of wheat rusts....

Comparative analysis of African cattle, sheep and goat genomes reveal convergence and divergence to contrasting environments

African livestock have co-existed and co-adapted to Africa’s diverse eco-climates which have likely impacted their genomes. Such impacts however remain poorly investigated across multiple livestock species. Using whole genome sequences of African cattle, sheep, and goats in Ethio...
