Topical application of dsRNA derived from the ZYMV P1 gene significantly enhances resistance in zucchini against the virus, achieving 62% protection and outperforming previous dsRNA strategies targeting other viral cistrons.
This study demonstrates that calcium supplementation mitigates drought stress in mulberry seedlings by enhancing photosynthetic gene expression and activating phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathways, as revealed through integrated physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analyses.
This study demonstrates that organic and natural farming systems significantly enhance soil microbial biomass, activity, and diversity compared to conventional farming in the Indo-Gangetic Plains' rice-wheat agroecosystem, thereby promoting nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, and long-term agricultural resilience.
This study demonstrates that integrating municipal solid waste vermicompost with 80–100% recommended NPK doses effectively mitigates soil co-contamination by toxic metals and pesticides while enhancing *Tagetes erecta* flower yield, with machine learning models identifying soil enzymes as key regulators of pollutant translocation dynamics.
This study demonstrates that indigenous Nguni goats preferentially select *Searsia lancea* over *Celtis africana*, a choice that significantly mitigates seasonal declines in protein digestibility and sustains nutrient supply during drought stress, though dry-season feeding still necessitates additional protein supplementation.
This paper analyzes extensive global data to reveal that negative potassium balances, driven by low fertilizer use and residue removal, threaten crop yields in many regions and necessitate a significant increase in potassium inputs to sustain future food production.
This study evaluates five Penman-Monteith-based models using four years of eddy covariance data in a Southwest China citrus orchard, revealing that the Hybrid-Dual Source (H-D) model generally outperforms others across temporal scales and growth stages while highlighting the critical sensitivity of evapotranspiration estimates to canopy resistance and soil water content.
This study characterizes the allometric growth dynamics and pod variability of ten *Moringa oleifera* genotypes and their progenies to identify elite lines, specifically classifying MO-11 for vegetable yield and MO-16/P-16 for industrial oil and silvicultural applications based on robust bio-morphological markers.
This study comparing Rhode Island Red hens in individual cages, colony cages, and deep-litter systems under tropical conditions found that while deep-litter housing reduced fear responses and improved specific physical traits like claw length, it also elevated corticosterone levels, highlighting the complex and non-uniform nature of welfare outcomes across different housing systems.
This study elucidates the physiological and transcriptomic mechanisms underlying IBA-induced adventitious root formation in three peach rootstocks by identifying optimal IBA concentrations, characterizing hormone and oxidative stress dynamics, and revealing the dominant role of auxin signaling and specific transcription factors in regulating rooting efficiency.
