Tomato crop resilience via grafting by improving the yield stability and nutritional quality under drought conditions

- IntroductionWater scarcity is a major abiotic stress that restricts tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) productivity and fruit quality, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Grafting, by combining...

Functional Dissection of a Wheat NLR Protein Reveals a Minimal Active Region and Key Regulatory Sites for Immune Signalling

- The coiled?coil domain functions as the core signalling module of wheat NLRMoro, with residues 62–116 forming a minimal active region whose activity is fine?tuned by intramolecular NBS and LRR...

Unravelling vicious circles of land use competition and food insecurity in agropastoral rangelands

- AbstractIn many regions of the world, the adoption of new livelihood strategies that compete with traditional strategies is one driver of competition over land, resulting in unforeseen impacts on the...

Plant species and field site shape root endosphere microbiomes of wild inoculum plants used in traditional cereal?based fermentation

- Traditional fermented foods worldwide depend on naturally occurring microbes, yet the environmental sources shaping these microbes and their effects on food quality remain poorly understood. We...

Harnessing the nutritional potential of Cape wild edible plants: Insights, gaps and priorities
