Dissecting Cowpea Genetic Variability under Moisture Stress Conditions and Implications for Drought Tolerance Breeding by Mary Singini, Michael M. Chipeta, Keston Njira, Lameck Fiwa

“…Nine drought tolerance indices (MP = mean productivity index, GMP = geometric mean productivity index, HM = harmonic mean, STI = stress tolerance index, YI = yield index, YSI = yield stability index, TOL = tolerance index, Yrr = yield reduction ratio, and SSI = stress susceptibility index) were calculated based on grain yield under water stress and nonstress conditions. …”

Hydrogen Cyanide in Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) from 3.4 mm Wave Spectra by Juncen Li, Jianchun Shi, Yuehua Ma, Jixian Sun

“…From the observed spectra, the hydrogen cyanide (HCN)( J = 1–0) spectra lines was detected. The mean production rate of HCN is (8.30 ± 1.14) × 10 ^25 molec. ​s ^−1 in mid January and (3.91 ± 0.84) × 10 ^25 molec. ​​​s ^−1 in early February. we also estimated the upper limit of the production rate of HCO+. …”

Performance Evaluation and Stability of Maize (Zea mays L.) Genotypes for Grain Yield Using AMMI and GGE Biplot by Berhanu Bilate Daemo, Getahun Bore Wolancho, Zeleke Ashango Arke, Dawit Dalga Wakalto, Mesele Haile Onu

“…Genotypes BH-661, BH-549, and BH-546 demonstrated superior performance and stability, surpassing the national maize mean productivity and indicating broad adaptability. The AMMI analysis, GSI, and GGE biplot confirmed their robustness and high yield potential, especially for BH-661 and BH-549, making them optimal for variable conditions. …”
