Evaluation of Ratooning Potentials of Some Selected Rice Cultivars under Boro– Fallow−T. Aman Cropping Pattern

This study conducted at Bangladesh Agricultural University evaluated fifteen rice cultivars under a Boro–Fallow–T. Aman cropping pattern to identify key anatomical and physiological traits, such as vascular bundle count and water-soluble carbohydrate storage, that determine ratoon potential, ultimately highlighting BRRI dhan102 and four other cultivars as the most promising for sustainable ratoon rice production.

Unveiling the Potential of Non-Rhizobial Microorganisms to Improve Faba Bean Growth

This study characterizes diverse non-rhizobial endophytes within faba bean nodules from Aït Ourir and demonstrates that co-inoculating these bacteria with efficient rhizobia significantly enhances plant growth, supporting the development of multifunctional biofertilizers for sustainable agriculture.

Screening for Chlamydiaceae in Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) reveals a case of ocular infection

This study screened 34 free-ranging Eurasian lynx from Romania, Slovakia, and Croatia for ocular Chlamydiaceae, identifying a single asymptomatic carrier of *C. felis* that later developed mild eye symptoms, thereby highlighting the importance of including Chlamydia testing in health-screening protocols for conservation translocations.

Effect of nano-silicon priming on germination dynamics, morpho-physiological changes, osmotic adjustment and yield responses of late sown Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) var. Kesari Gold and TBM-143

This study demonstrates that priming Indian mustard seeds with 25–50 mg/L nano-silicon significantly mitigates late-sowing stress by enhancing germination dynamics, morpho-physiological traits, osmotic adjustment, and overall yield, with the Kesari Gold genotype showing superior performance compared to TBM-143.

Impact of Processing Vernonia amgdalina (Del) leaves to reduce bitterness on the nutrient profile and Medicinal Properties

This study evaluated four processing methods for reducing the bitterness of *Vernonia amgdalina* leaves and found that while boiling and salt washing significantly altered carotene profiles, washing with water alone offered the best overall retention of nutrients and minerals, making it the most effective method for preserving the plant's medicinal value.

Genetic architecture of soluble arabinoxylan fibre in elite genotypes of bread wheat revealed by genome-wide association analysis

This study utilized genome-wide association analysis on 384 elite UK wheat genotypes to identify seven genetic loci, including major stable effects on chromosomes 1B and 6B, that regulate water-extractable arabinoxylan content, demonstrating that breeding for enhanced soluble dietary fibre is achievable by pyramiding existing favourable alleles.
