Resistance and Recovery of Crop Productivity From Contrasted Soil Fertility

13/06/2026 - AbstractThe balance between crop production and environmental sustainability depends on an adequate supply of soil nutrients, although changes in nutrient supply may initially have little effect on...

Safety evaluation of the food enzyme subtilisin from the genetically modified Bacillus licheniformis strain NZYM?PD

- AbstractThe food enzyme subtilisin (EC 3.4.21.62) is produced with the genetically modified Bacillus licheniformis strain NZYM?PD by Novozymes A/S. The production strain met the requirements for the...

Effects of pre-harvest brackish water exposure on leafy green growth in aquaponic systems

- Growing interest in brackish or saline aquaponics (also known as haloponics) has highlighted the need for production strategies that enable growers to utilize saltier, more nutrient rich, water...

Compost as a sustainable tool for greenhouse horticultural productivity: benefits, limitations, and state of the art

- Greenhouse horticulture plays a vital role in modern agriculture, offering a controlled environment for the cultivation of high-value crops while mitigating the adverse effects of climate...

Augmenting nitrogen and zinc fertilization to enhance productivity, nutrient uptake, and nutrient use efficiency in rice

- Rice production depends heavily on nitrogen fertilizers; however, excessive and inefficient nitrogen use has raised concerns regarding production costs, nutrient losses, and environmental...

Genome-wide association studies in horticultural crops: decoding genetic diversity for precision breeding

27/02/2026 - Horticultural crops, including fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants, and tea plants, are vital for economic and nutritional sustainability, yet their cultivation is severely hampered by abiotic...

Integrated circadian regulation in horticultural plants: light-environment mechanisms governing growth and development

23/02/2026 - The circadian clock enables plants to synchronize physiological and developmental processes with daily and seasonal light fluctuations. In horticultural crops, this endogenous oscillator interacts...

Recent progress in unraveling the molecular mechanisms of anthocyanin biosynthesis and regulation in tomato

23/02/2026 - Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the most economically important vegetable crops worldwide. Fruit quality is a critical determinant of consumer preference and market value, with color being...

Polyploidization enhances plant resistance to Alternaria alternata via DNA hypomethylation activated WRKYs

19/02/2026 - Polyploidization is a major driver of plant evolution and stress adaptation, yet its role in modulating biotic stress resistance through epigenetic mechanisms remains poorly understood. This study...

Reducing recalcitrance of black pepper to Agrobacterium-mediated transformation: an efficient way through nucellar apomixis to establish transgenic and genome-edited plants at high frequency and scale-up through bioreactor

28/02/2026 - Nucellar apomixis is truly clonal and is a powerful tool for broadening the genetic base of crops. Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.), the ‘King of Spices’ is difficult to improve through...

A SlERF4–SlTPP1 module enhances drought tolerance in tomato by increasing the root/shoot ratio

02/03/2026 - Drought tolerance is a pivotal trait for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) genetic improvement, and enhancing the root/shoot ratio (R/S) serves as a core adaptive strategy for plants to cope with water...

A high-resolution 3D genome map of kiwifruit provides insights into chromatin architecture and transcriptional activity

02/06/2026 - Comprehensive 3D genome maps are essential for understanding transcriptional regulation, yet such resources remain limited for perennial woody crops. Here, we present a high-resolution,...

Transcription factor SlbHLH70 enhances drought tolerance in tomato

05/03/2026 - Drought stress profoundly impacts plant productivity worldwide. The roles of basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factors are critical in processes of plant growth, development, and stress...

Seed and Soil Inoculation With a Bacillus Consortium in Durum Wheat. Part I: Soil Phosphorus Content and Plant Morphological and Physiological Performance

- ABSTRACTReducing synthetic fertilizer inputs in durum wheat while maintaining crop performance is a key challenge for Mediterranean cereal systems, where soil constraints frequently limit nutrient...

Supplementation of Corn Stover With Oak Leaves and Wheat Bran for the Cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus

- ABSTRACTThe use of wheat bran (WB) as a supplement in mushroom cultivation presents economic and sustainability concerns due to its competition with human food and livestock feed. This reliance...

Copper?Regulated Modulation of the MdbZIP11–MdHAT5 Transcriptional Module Enhances ABA?Mediated Immunity in Apple
