Replacement of Corn by Perennial Cellulosic Bioenergy Crops on Sloping Farmland: Implications for Water Quality and Economic Benefits
06/06/2026 - AbstractPerennial cellulosic bioenergy crops have the potential to control nutrient losses from agriculture while providing biomass for biofuel production. This study employed a rigorously calibrated...
Nano-treatment driven improvements in winter wheat productivity and grain quality in arid agroecosystems
- Efficient nutrient management remains a critical challenge in winter wheat (WW) production, underscoring the need for sustainable alternatives. Nano treatments (NTs) have emerged as promising...
Risk and sustainability dimensions in Nepal's lentil sector: framework for next-generation crop and climate-smart value chains
- IntroductionCommodity value chain sustainability is critical for agricultural growth, especially for lentil (Lens culinaris), an important commercial legume in South Asia that is gaining importance...
Regenerative nutrient cycling in maize–soybean intercropping: biological nitrogen fixation, integrated fertilization, and climate-smart performance in West Africa
- Smallholder maize-based systems in sub-Saharan Africa face persistent constraints from declining soil organic carbon (SOC), low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and increasing climate variability, all...
Spatially-aware unsupervised anomaly detection for soil stress monitoring using graph autoencoders in precision agriculture
- IntroductionEarly detection of crop stress in precision agriculture is hindered by complex multivariate sensor interactions, spatial variability across fields, and the scarcity of labeled anomaly...
Correction to “Corn and Switchgrass Derived Sustainable Aviation Fuel Carbon Intensity”
- A time?explicit framework based on atmospheric impulse–response functions quantifies the CO2 removal required to offset methane warming within 20?years. Constant, variable, and increasing carbon...
Sap-sucking insects associated with medicinal Cannabis sativa L. in Brazil
02/06/2026 - Sap-sucking insects are among the most important pests of Cannabis sativa worldwide; however, there are no formal records of their occurrence in medicinal cannabis crops in Brazil. Field records...
Polyphagozerra coffeae (Lepidoptera: Cossidae)—a wood-boring pest of coffee and other tree crops
01/06/2026 - The red coffee borer, Polyphagozerra coffeae (Nietner) (formerly Zeuzera coffeae)—native to South and Southeast Asia—is a highly polyphagous wood-boring pest. This review summarizes the biology,...
Association of Agro?Morphological Traits With Cup Quality in Accessions of Coffea arabica L. From the INIA Germplasm Bank, Peru
- ABSTRACTIn recent years, Peruvian coffee production has increasingly focused on specialty coffees, with cup quality (CQ) as a key criterion. While previous studies have characterized the Coffee...
Correction to Biosurveillance of Invasive Southern Corn Rust: Insights Into Recent Migration Patterns and Virulence Variation
- The DENN domain?containing protein SsSMD1 is highly conserved across phytopathogenic fungi. Functioning as a putative GEF for RAS GTPase SsYPT1, SsSMD1 orchestrates its activation to regulate cell...
Genome?wide association study identifies genomic regions under selection for domestication and agronomic traits in intermediate wheatgrass
- AbstractIntermediate wheatgrass (IWG) (Thinopyrum intermedium, Kernza) is a perennial forage grass undergoing neo?domestication as a grain crop. IWG provides numerous ecosystem services and has the...
Genomics for next?generation wheat breeding
- AbstractNucleotide?binding leucine?rich repeat (NLR) genes constitute one of the largest families of plant immune receptors and are central to crop disease resistance. Rice (Oryza sativa L.), maize...
Discovering putative novel stem rust resistance loci in wheat genetic resources
- AbstractStem rust (SR), caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), poses a threat to wheat production in Germany. This study evaluated 200 plant genetic resources (PGR) and 50 elite lines...
Mechanisms of Host Jumps in Pyricularia oryzae and Related Pyricularia Lineages: Interplay of Effectors and Climate Change
