Abstract A two-year field experiment was conducted to quantify the influence of spatial configuration on soil organic acids, agronomic traits, competitive indices, and economic returns in faba bean-garlic intercropping. ...

IntroductionMaize is a global commodity crop cultivated under monocropping systems and diverse environmental conditions. While different genotypes exist with various abilities to store carbon into tissues and into the so...

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...

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...

A field experiment was conducted during the summer growing season of 2025 at one of the fields of the Agricultural Research and Experimentation Center, College of Agriculture, University of Kirkuk, Iraq. The study aimed ...

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 ...

Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), propagated vegetatively, harbors limited genetic variability for breeding, prompting exploration of rare seed-derived half-sib progenies to generate novel recombinants. The present study inve...

Abstract Female ear development during the pre- and post-silking period is critical for maize yield. Although plant growth regulators can enhance yield, their specific effects on ear morphogenesis and underlying mechanis...

This study examined the effects of different irrigation methods, water quality, and irrigation levels on yield components and water-use efficiency of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under semi-arid climate conditions. The m...

Drought stress limits wheat productivity at terminal stage by disrupting physiological activities, impairing cellular homeostasis, and decreasing grain yield. Present study elucidated the role of potassium silicate (K2Si...

A field experiment was conducted during the summer season of 2024 in Al-Boaitha district, Anbar province, with the aim of determining the response of several genotypes of cotton to plant densities and its effect on some ...

Abstract To investigate the long-term creep behavior of deep granite in geological repositories for high-level radioactive waste under coupled temperature and stress conditions, a full-time temperature–stress coupled c...

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.), a valuable essential oil plant, is cultivated mainly in the south of Russia. A comparative analysis of productivity parameters and biochemical indicators of 'Mertsishor' and 'Oksamit Cr...

Abstract The relationship between the built environment and human emotional experience has received increasing attention in architectural and urban research. This study aims to collect fundamental background data from a ...

Abstract Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that causes motor and cognitive impairments, affecting approximately 1% of individuals over 60 years of age. Speech impairments are among th...

Laminate composites offer an effective strategy to overcome strength-ductility trade-off by harnessing the synergistic properties of constituent metals. In the TA1/304 steel composite, a unique nano-scale heterostructure...

Agricultural landscapes in the tribal regions of Central India are dominated by smallholder, low-input, and highly diversified farming systems integrating crops, trees, and livestock. However, despite increasing promotio...

Abstract Background Primary healthcare (PHC) is essential for achieving universal health coverage in Nigeria, yet chronic underfunding limits its effectiveness, with only 20% of facilities nationwide operational. This st...

BackgroundFibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitors (FGFRis) benefit selected cholangiocarcinoma (CHOL) patients, yet responses remain heterogeneous and are not fully explained by canonical FGFR alterations. Cl...

In this study, dopamine (DA) was covalently grafted onto graphene oxide (GO) to form a functionalized nanofiller, onto which calcium ions were subsequently coordinated, yielding GO–PDA–Ca nanocomposites for epoxy coa...

We demonstrate how controlling the heat affected zone during laser powder bed fusion may be used to optimise the phase composition of additively manufactured (AM) components in-situ to reduce post-processing heat treatme...

Abstract The extraction of cellulose from bamboo residues remains challenging because lignin and hemicellulose are strongly integrated within the fibre matrix. Green pretreatment using a two-step DES method allows effici...

Linking Bees, Biodiversity, and Breadwinners highlights the complex and essential relationship between Bees and the survival of rural livelihoods. Although the role of bees in advancing sustainable development objectives...

Abstract Objective Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are associated with a high risk of progression to leukemia, highlighting the critical need to explore novel therapeutic agents. Based on network pharmacology predicti...
