Mid- and better-parent heterosis for yield and its components within anthocyanin pigmentation classes in the F2 generation of a cowpea cross

Akinrinade Akanni Olunloyo, Samson Oguntola Ogunjinmi and Noah Olugbemiga Olla

DOI: https://doi.org/10.46909/alse-592214

Article preview: Anthocyanin pigmentation may provide a useful morphological marker for selecting high-performing cowpea plants. In an F2 population, pigmentation classes were significantly associated with flowering, pod and seed traits, while 100-seed weight showed strong positive heterosis, highlighting potential applications in cowpea improvement.

Winter triticale grain yield response to preceding crop and genotype under contrasting growing seasons

Andreea-Sabina Pintilie, Alexandra Leonte, Doru Stanciu, Simona-Florina Isticioaia, Cosmin Muraru, Andreea Enea and Teodor Robu

DOI: https://doi.org/10.46909/alse-592213

Article preview: A two-year field experiment shows that winter triticale grain yield is significantly influenced by both genotype and preceding crop. Utrifun outperformed Haiduc, while soybean was the most favourable preceding crop, providing practical evidence for climate-resilient crop rotation strategies.

Perceived impact of social media usage on poultry production: evidence from poultry farmers in Ogun State, Nigeria

Toyin Femi Ojo, Michael Famakinwa, Sunday Ismael Salawu, Ebunoluwa Oyindamola Faniyi, Blessing Anenechukwu Akinola and Oluwabori Ayanbanjo

DOI: https://doi.org/10.46909/alse-592212

Article preview: Evidence from smallholder poultry farmers in Nigeria suggests that social media supports knowledge exchange, market access, and poultry production despite persistent infrastructural constraints, highlighting its potential contribution to more sustainable poultry systems.

Proximate composition analysis of the mudskipper Boleophthalmus boddarti from Cox’s Bazar, Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh

Md. Simul Bhuyan, Abu Jahan Mohammed Morshed, Mohammad Rokan Uddin and Sanjida Jahan Farjana

DOI: https://doi.org/10.46909/alse-592211

Article preview: Often overlooked despite its ecological importance, the mudskipper Boleophthalmus boddarti may represent an underutilised source of high-quality protein. This study presents the first baseline assessment of its proximate composition from the Cox’s Bazar–Teknaf coast, Bay of Bengal, opening new perspectives for nutrition research and sustainable coastal resource management.
