Targeted Knockout of CYP79A1 Reduces Cyanogenic Potential in Grain Sorghum
- ABSTRACTUnderstanding how numerous heterotic quantitative trait loci (hQTL) shape heterosis and shifting from hQTL to candidate genes are central challenges. To address these challenges, we performed...
Groundnut Improvement for Aflatoxin Resistance: Progress and Opportunities
- ABSTRACTGroundnut, or peanut, is an industrial oilseed crop that serves the food and feed industries and provides income along the value chain. Pre? and post?harvest aflatoxin contamination, caused...
Valorisation of Prosciutto di Parma PDO by-products for the development of protein-rich snacks
- IntroductionThere is a growing demand for high-protein products from people who play sports, want to lose weight, or need to gain muscle mass. Among the most useful protein sources are meat-processed...
Interdependence of adoption decisions of agroecological vegetable cropping systems among smallholder farmers in eastern Africa
- Vegetable production plays a vital role in enhancing nutrition and generating income in Kenya, where it is an important component of the agricultural sector. Among the most widely grown vegetables...
Agricultural machinery capacity and input intensities in China: evidence across fertilizer categories, diesel, pesticide, and plastic film
- Total agricultural machinery power records installed capacity rather than utilization or engineering efficiency. We examine its association with eight input intensities across 31 provincial-level...
Physio-biochemical and morphological screening of F4 vegetable-type soybean progeny lines under water-limited stress conditions
- Vegetable-type soybean (Glycine max L.) has emerged as a high-protein crop of increasing importance in South Africa; however, its production is constrained by drought associated with semi-arid...
Organically enriched water from an integrated agri-aquaculture system enhances antioxidant defense and secondary metabolism in blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius cv. Tupy)
- IntroductionIntegrated agri-aquaculture systems can improve water-use efficiency and nutrient recycling in semiarid and arid regions increasingly affected by climate change; however, the...
Effect of Root Inducing Biostimulants on Vegetative Recovery, Establishment and Phenological Development of Globe Artichoke Under Field Conditions: Preliminary Results
- ABSTRACTGlobe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus L. var. scolymus (L.) Fiori) is a perennial crop widely cultivated in Mediterranean regions. Spinoso sardo, a Sardinian varietal type propagated agamically...
Correction to “Nitrogen?Starved Wheat: A Multi?Omics Perspective from Epigenome Regulation to Grain Quality”
- ABSTRACTSoil organic carbon (SOC) is central to soil health, crop productivity, and agroecosystem resilience because of its influence on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties and...
Genomic and evolutionary analysis reveals dynamic variations of MKK3 gene, a key regulator for seed dormancy in barley
- AbstractBarley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important crop in the world, and its seed dormancy is primarily controlled by a mitogen?activated protein kinase kinase 3 (MKK3) gene. Although kinase...
Biological Products Precondition Field Soil and Induce Changes in Bacterial Communities to Reduce Root?Knot Nematode Symptoms in Tomato Crops
- Commercially available biological products, Popul8 (microbial), Eco?Humate (organic acid) and Eco?Vital (fish?+?seaweed) preconditioned field soil and increased the abundance of beneficial bacteria...
Smart fertigation: Automated fertilizer application based on plant growth using digital sensors with IoT capability
