Generation of Herbicide?Resistant Alfalfa Germplasm via Prime Editing

- ABSTRACTAlfalfa (Medicago sativa) is the most widely cultivated forage crop worldwide, owing to its high protein content, balanced amino acid profile, and abundance of vitamins and minerals. However,...

Comparative Genome?Wide Association Studies of Metabolites and Grain?Related Traits in Common Wheat

- ABSTRACTThe metabolome is highly diverse and the closest layer to phenotype; therefore, it is commonly regarded as a bridge between the genome and phenome in plants. Here, we performed large?scale...

Plain language summary of the Re?evaluation of salt of aspartame?acesulfame (E 962) as food additive

- AbstractIn accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Gowan Crop Protection Limited submitted a request to the competent national authority in Germany to set an import...

Integrative Physiology and Transcriptomics Reveal the Adaptive Mechanisms of Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica) in Response to LiCl Stress

- ABSTRACTWith the ubiquity of lithium?ion batteries, lithium has emerged as a critical environmental contaminant, yet the mechanisms of its toxicity and tolerance in plants remain poorly understood....

Proteomic Determinants of Fluctuating Light Sensitivity in Soybean: Comparative Analysis of Tolerant and Sensitive Cultivars

- ABSTRACTFluctuating light (FL), caused by cloud movement, canopy dynamics, and intercropping, is a pervasive stress affecting crop productivity, yet the molecular basis of FL responses in different...

Variety?Specific Nutrient Management Influenced the Productivity and Profitability of a Rice?Black?Gram Cropping Sequence in the Coastal Lowland Ecosystem of Odisha, India

- ABSTRACTA rice?black?gram?cropping sequence?based field experiment was conducted at the farmer's field of Niali, Cuttack, Odisha, India, from 2019 to 2020 and 2020 to 2021, with a split?plot design,...

Carbon trading and agricultural green total factor productivity: evidence from China’s pilot carbon market and the mediating role of mechanization

- Agriculture is both a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and highly vulnerable to climate-related risks, yet the implications of carbon pricing for agricultural sustainability remain...

Trichoderma Mobilizes Phosphorus and Cobalt While Excluding Sodium in the Foliar Ionome of High?Andean Grasses Enriched With Biochar

- This graph shows how guinea pig manure biochar raises the pH in high?Andean soils (4150?m). Although biochar improves soil quality, nutrient uptake depends on the microorganism: Trichoderma sp....

GmERF109 Positively Enhances Soybean Resistance to Phytophthora sojae by Transcriptionally Activating GmG4DT?Like to Promote Glyceollin I Accumulation

- GmERF109 is strongly induced in P. sojae?resistant but not susceptible soybeans. GmERF109 functions as a nuclear AP2/ERF transcription factor, P. sojae directly binding the GCC?box to activate...

Systematic Identification and Functional Characterisation of Colletotrichum fructicola Effectors During Camellia oleifera Colonisation

- Five novel effectors were identified in Colletotrichum fructicola required for full virulence. They suppress host immunity, modulate antioxidant enzymes and reprogramme metabolism in Camellia...

Sparse phenotyping for wheat grain yield enabled by multiomics prediction

- AbstractGrain yield is a central target in wheat breeding, yet accurately predicting it remains challenging because it depends on many genes and responds strongly to environmental variation. Genomic...
