Denitrification and phosphorus removal efficiency of different pretreated qingke straw carbon sources and microbial response mechanisms

This study demonstrates that using acid-base pretreated qingke straw fermentation broth as an external carbon source in plateau SBR reactors alters microbial community structure and shifts nitrogen metabolism pathways, thereby enhancing nitrogen fixation and nitrification while inhibiting denitrification and necessitating improved phosphorus removal strategies.

Phosphorus Optimization in Canola (Brassica napus L.) Using Integrated Soil Foliar and Fertigation Approaches Under Greenhouse Conditions

This study demonstrates that integrating foliar sprays and fertigation with phosphoric acid allows for a 50% reduction in basal triple superphosphate fertilizer in phosphorus-deficient canola production while maintaining optimal growth and phosphorus uptake comparable to full soil application.

First report of Colletotrichum fructicola causing anthracnose on Rosa sp. in Thailand and the control strategies

This study reports the first identification of *Colletotrichum fructicola* as an anthracnose pathogen on roses in Thailand and demonstrates that the biocontrol bacterium *Bacillus amyloliquefaciens* TU-Orga12, which produces surfactin and specific volatile organic compounds, offers superior disease control compared to the chemical fungicide mancozeb in both greenhouse and commercial production settings.

In utero hyperthermia impacts the histological and transcriptomic signature of the mammary fat pad of newborn heifers

Maternal heat stress during the final 54 days of gestation alters the histological and transcriptomic profiles of newborn heifer mammary fat pads by suppressing adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism, potentially compromising future mammary gland development and lactation performance.

Mitigating Cadmium Stress in Milk Thistle through Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria and Radiated Achenes: A Biochemical and Physiological Perspective

This study demonstrates that combining plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) inoculation with 4 Gy gamma-radiated achenes effectively mitigates cadmium stress in milk thistle by enhancing growth, photosynthetic efficiency, antioxidant defense, and silymarin yield while reducing oxidative damage.

Identification and Haplotype Diversity Analysis of DVL Family Genes in Rice

This study identifies five OsDVL genes in rice, characterizes their stress-responsive expression patterns and haplotype diversity across 3,010 accessions, and reveals that specific haplotypes are significantly associated with yield-related traits, suggesting their potential as targets for marker-assisted breeding to enhance stress tolerance and productivity.

Milk Marketing Pathways, Producer Share and Market Constraints among Dairy Farmers in Assam: Evidence from Golaghat District

Based on primary data from 200 dairy farmers in Golaghat, Assam, this study reveals that while direct sales dominate milk marketing channels and yield the highest producer share, the sector is constrained by weak infrastructure and perishability, necessitating strengthened cooperative governance and cold-chain facilities to improve farmer welfare.
