Abstract Rice-based cropping systems remain dominant in Bangladesh’s agricultural landscape, yet their long-term sustainability and profitability are increasingly constrained by high input requirements, ecological pres...

IntroductionThe study was conducted to respond to the growing need for standardized and comparable tools for assessing the sustainability of farms in the European Union, given that the green transition, the reform of the...

This research develops a water-centric nexus assessment framework for Thailand's major crops: rice, sugarcane, and cassava, within shared cultivation areas. The framework examines interaction among water use, agricultura...

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 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...

Agriculture in Iran operates under acute water scarcity, climate stress, and reliance on input-intensive practices that amplify environmental pressures. This study presents the first long-term, spatially explicit life cy...

Indoor hydroponics offers a promising pathway toward sustainable urban agriculture, but its effectiveness depends on precise environmental control. This study presents a compact, energy-efficient hydroponic system that u...

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...

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...

Abstract Improving cacao yield, a key objective in post-domestication crop improvement, remains a primary goal for breeders, but progress is often hindered by the confounding effects of population structure. To overcome ...

Plants frequently encounter diverse abiotic stresses, which require precise transcriptional regulation to maintain basic survival plasticity. The BES1 transcription factor family, a key component of brassinosteroid (BR) ...

Abstract Background Induced mutation through physical mutagens, such as gamma irradiation is an effective and complementary breeding tool to enhance crop improvement by increasing genetic variation and creating heritable...

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of plant development, physiology, and environmental stress adaptation. Despite exhibiting limited primary sequence conservation across the plant kingdom, ...

Abstract The unambiguous identification of individual chromosomes is fundamental to studying genome organisation and evolution. Sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvel), a perennial tetraploid grass closely related to...

IntroductionMicronutrient fertilisation is a promising strategy for agronomic biofortification of tomatoes. Yet, its effects on yield formation and fruit quality remain insufficiently clarified, particularly when multipl...

Abstract Allium cepa, commonly known as onion, is a valuable crop worldwide for its medicinal and culinary uses. However, its growth is highly sensitive to temperature changes during the early stages, limiting its yield ...

Abstract Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is a vital cash crop and a cornerstone of rural economies in South Asia, yet its cultivation remains highly resource-intensive, with heavy demands for irrigation and nitrogen...

Ecosystem-based adaptation practices among smallholder farmers in drought-prone areas provides a positive response strategy to the increasing challenges posed by climate change, particularly declining crop yield under dr...

The AINTEGUMENTA-LIKE (AIL) family is a current research hotspot in plant molecular biology, primarily focusing on its potential applications in crop genetic improvement. It plays roles in plant embryogenesis, meristem m...

ABSTRACT Plant diseases are the cause of heavy losses of crop production and, therefore, a big contributor to food shortages. Identifying these diseases as early as possible is important to limit the negative effects tha...

Abstract Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) transforms wet or dry biomass into hydrochar, generating a nutrient-rich process water, hereafter termed HTC-PW, which is often overlooked as waste. This review synthesizes curre...

Disease Diagnosis in crops is a very expensive and lengthy process, as it often involves the need for few experts to make observations, leading to delayed diagnosis, viral spread of diseases, and thus, massive economic l...

ABSTRACT Nitrate (NO3−) is a major nutrient promoting plant growth and crop yield. Vacuolar nitrate storage is essential for nitrate acquisition and remobilization within the plant. However, the transcriptional regulat...

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 ...
