Cold stress is a major abiotic constraint to wheat production in temperate regions, particularly in the Kashmir Valley of north-western Himalayas, India, where prolonged low temperatures delay growth, reduce yield, and disrupt the rice–wheat cropping system. To address this challenge, we evaluated a panel of 340 nested synthetic hexaploid wheat introgression lines, developed by introgressing allelic diversity from Aegilops tau...

This study examines changes in flooding characteristics in Lagos, Nigeria, through comparative analysis of major flooding events in July 2011 and July 2021. Satellite data from NASA’s IMERG and MODIS platforms were used to analyse precipitation patterns, aerosol concentrations, and land surface temperatures through spatial autocorrelation and regression analysis. The comparison reveals substantial changes in flood characterist...
