Cultivated peanut is susceptible to several highly damaging pests, pathogens and abiotic stressors, largely due to its very narrow genetic base. However, a ploidy barrier exists between cultivated and highly resistant wi...

The article presents the results of study of 12 potato cultivars in the Omsk region (2022–2024). The aim of the research was to establish relationships between economically valuable traits of potato cultivars using cor...

Abstract This study analyzes four decades (1980–2019) of cultivar registration in Argentina and its relationship with agricultural production trends, with focus on the complementary roles of the private sector and publ...

Increasing leaf dry matter and phenolic content in tomato has the potential to enhance plant resilience, a key requirement for food security and sustainable agriculture in the context of climate change. However, phenolic...

The integration of underutilised orphan crops into food systems can reduce the reliance on major crops for global food security and support adaptation to climate change. Major crops are increasingly susceptible to climat...

Abstract Background Terpenes and phenolic compounds are multifunctional plant metabolites that contribute to defense, signaling, and ecological interactions, while supporting industrial applications. Here, we implemented...

A study of selected blackcurrant seedlings bred in the Urals was conducted in the Sverdlovsk region (Middle Urals), and the most promising cultivars for mechanized harvesting were identified. The study subjects were 29 s...

Reciprocal crosses and F1 hybrids revealed maternal effects and heterosis, highlighting the role of genetic background and parent selection in enhancing tomato quality. This study assessed ten tomato genotypes, including...

The study was conducted in the Arkhangelsk region using a sample of 430 Kholmogory cows. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between polymorphisms in the mannose-binding lectin (MBL1) gene and milk prod...

Stellaria Radix, known as Yinchaihu (YCH) in traditional Chinese medicine, is derived from the dried roots of Stellaria dichotoma L. var. lanceolata Bge. Despite its clinical importance in treating pediatric febrile cond...

Goats play an essential role in sustaining rural communities in Pakistan by providing milk, meat, and income under diverse production systems. This study compared the morphometric features of exotic Saanen goats with loc...

Abstract Using a half-diallel model, six genotypes of bread wheat were crossed during 2021/2022 season, then in the next season of 2022/2023, parents and their F1 crosses were examined under optimum and late sowing dates...

The HMGA1 (High Mobility Group AT-hook 1) gene is considered a candidate locus for growth- and fatness-related traits in pigs due to its involvement in transcriptional regulation and energy metabolism and its localizatio...

Identification of specific genetic markers that determine interbreed differences and “selection signatures” in commercial pig breeds will allow for the development of more effective strategies for targeted breeding a...

Abstract Bael (Aegle marmelos Correa), an underutilized fruit crop of high nutritional and medicinal value, exhibits wide adaptability to diverse agro-climatic conditions but remains neglected in systematic improvement a...

Abstract Durum wheat breeding increasingly requires tools that can anticipate how genotypes respond to the shifting mix of heat and drought typical of Mediterranean drylands. In this study, we explored whether a multimod...

Abstract Anardana, the dried arils of Punica granatum L., possesses notable culinary, nutraceutical, and medicinal value due to its richness in bioactive compounds. However, wild populations from the Himalayan belts rema...

Intensive technologies for breeding farm animals and poultry are largely determined by the balance of feeding diets based on essential substances. A certain shortage in the domestic feed market and insufficient control o...

Line breeding programs of autogamous crops like barley and wheat are characterized by multiple crosses with high variability in cross means and segregation variances. From theory of order statistics, we derived formulas ...

IntroductionThe African sugarcane stalk borer (Eldana saccharina) is a major insect pest of sugarcane in Sub-Saharan Africa. Because its larvae reside inside sugarcane stalks, conventional measures are less effective. Po...

Application of modern methods of genetic testing allows to supplement traditional breeding with new ways of predicting economically useful qualities in animals. To improve the parameters of meat productivity in sheep of ...

BackgroundMango (Mangifera indica L.) is an economically important tropical fruit crop, yet the genomic diversity of mango germplasm from the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia—the country's primary production hub—remains ...
