Abstract Traditional medicinal plants play a crucial role in paediatric healthcare, especially in underdeveloped countries where access to modern medicine is limited. This review synthesizes ethnobotanical, pharmacologic...

Abstract We present a study of the diversity, origin and dispersal syndromes of ruderal plants in an urban area in Central-West Brazil. We recorded 266 species in the urban area of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul state,...

The problem of food waste is one of the most significant global problems that negatively affects many environmental elements. Out-of-date food products, particularly category III animal waste, contribute to this problem....

Abstract Background Viral infections of tomato plants present a significant threat to tomato production and yield. Mixed viral infections are common in field-grown tomatoes and are known to exacerbate disease symptoms; h...

Abstract Chenopodioideae plants are dominant components of desert ecosystems in arid regions of China and Central Asia and play key roles in maintaining ecosystem stability, while also providing valuable systems for unde...

Abstract Background The COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 98/58/EC (1) states that animal owners and care takers must ensure that animals under their care are not subjected to unnecessary pain, suffering and injury. Until now, rendering...

The recent expansion of biodiversity recording through citizen science projects represents a valuable tool for enriching our knowledge of biota. Given the rapid ecosystem changes driven by human activities, plant communi...

Background: Globally, medicinal plants and their health-related products provide significant income and are recognised as important contributors to livelihoods. There still exist challenges in the commercialisation of c...

Uttar Pradesh (UP) is one of the largest states in India. Based on vegetation types, the state is divided into four main regions: the Terai Region, Gangetic Plains, Vindhyan, and Semi-arid Regions. These regions harbour ...

ABSTRACT A systems biology approach was used to characterize Monotropa uniflora, a nonhotosynthetic, myco‐heterotrophic plant. In contrast to autotrophic plants, myco‐heterotrophic plants obtain carbon and other nutr...

Abstract Many African countries are experiencing hunger and poverty due to the Striga spp. problem. This study was conducted to evaluate the agronomic performance of sixteen (17) resistant genotypes and one (1) susceptib...

Abstract High-frequency regeneration through shoot organogenesis and/or somatic embryogenesis is a prerequisite for genetic transformation of plants. Cytokinins have been mainly implicated in shoot organogenesis. The pre...

Abstract Essential oils from Eucalyptus species have broad use in various sectors of health, agriculture, and other industries. This study aimed to identify the predominant constituents in essential oils extracted from l...

BackgroundDry matter accumulation and distribution constitute the essential material basis for crop yield formation, directly impacting both yield and quality development. Nonetheless, the effects of planting density on ...

Abstract Background The use of biostimulants in agriculture has shown fabulous potential in combating climate change induced stresses such as drought. Improving agricultural productivity requires sustainable drought stre...

Abstract Background Laccases (LACs) are multicopper oxidases that play vital roles in lignin polymerization, cell wall formation, and various stress responses in plants. Despite their importance, genome-wide investigatio...

Abstract Melissa officinalis, commonly known as lemon balm, is vulnerable to drought stress and pathogenic diseases, including those caused by Fusarium species, which can significantly affect the plant’s growth and yie...

Plant-scale industrial carbon accounting is critical for developing targeted emission-reduction policies. However, most assessments of carbon-intensive sectors rely on aggregate statistics, which obscure significant hete...

Soil salinity can impair carbon fixation and ultimately decrease crop yield. To counteract this detrimental effect and maintain cellular homeostasis and productivity under stress, plants rely on metabolic and growth adap...

Phytoremediation of areas polluted by heavy metals and toxic metalloids is challenging, particularly in arid regions where limited water availability compromises plant establishment. This study shows that several Atriple...

Abstract Rhizome rot, caused by Pythium myriotylum (P. myriotylum), is a significant constraint on ginger cultivation, necessitating the development of sustainable defense strategies. The present study, therefore, evalua...
