Wild Edible Greens Heritage in Western Crete and Its Resilience Across Greek Islands: The Role of Small-Scale Farming, Biodiversity, and Isolation

This study demonstrates that the richness of local ecological knowledge regarding wild edible greens across Greek islands is more strongly driven by the prevalence of small-scale farming than by plant biodiversity or geographical isolation, highlighting the critical role of agroecological livelihoods in preserving this biocultural heritage.

Effects of Foliar Application of Prohexadione- Calcium and Gibberellin on Photosynthetic Performance and Sucrose Metabolism in Rice under Salt Stress

This study demonstrates that foliar application of prohexadione-calcium enhances rice salt tolerance by synergistically optimizing PSII stability and promoting sucrose accumulation, whereas gibberellin increases PSII burden and depletes carbon reserves, highlighting their contrasting regulatory mechanisms on photosynthetic performance and carbon metabolism.

Structure-function design of 3D-printable whole lotus root-Schizophyllum commune composite gels for dysphagia foods with reduced starch digestibility

This study demonstrates that incorporating *Schizophyllum commune* powder into 3D-printable whole lotus root gels effectively balances printability, IDDSI Level 5 dysphagia texture, and reduced starch digestibility by modifying the composite's microstructure and molecular interactions to lower the glycemic index.

Land snail diversity and reproductive biology of the major pest Acusta tourannensis (Souleyet, 1842) (Gastropoda, Camaenidae) in Vietnamese orange (Citrus sinensis (L.)) orchards

This study documents the gastropod diversity in Vietnamese orange orchards and characterizes the reproductive biology of the primary pest, *Acusta tourannensis*, revealing that while higher temperatures accelerate growth, optimal embryonic viability and fecundity occur at 25°C with protein-rich diets, providing critical data for integrated pest management strategies.

Evaluation of the DSSAT–CERES-Wheat Model for Simulating Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Under Different Irrigation Scenarios in the Egyptian Nile Delta

This study demonstrates that the DSSAT–CERES-Wheat model accurately simulates winter wheat yields in the Egyptian Nile Delta when calibrated with specific irrigation thresholds, particularly a 50% soil water depletion trigger, thereby highlighting the critical role of efficient irrigation management in addressing water scarcity.

Multi-cation irrigation water composition affects strawberry growth, yield, and fruit quality beyond SAR-based sodicity assessment

This study demonstrates that the specific multi-cation composition of irrigation water, rather than sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) alone, significantly influences strawberry growth, yield, and fruit quality, with the Cation Ratio of Soil Structural Stability (CROSSf) serving as a more accurate predictor of crop performance than traditional SAR-based assessments.

Integrated Use of Vermicompost and NPSB Fertilizer Rates on Growth, Yield, and Yield Components of Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Gimbo District, Southwest Ethiopia

A field experiment in Gimbo District, Southwest Ethiopia, demonstrated that the integrated application of 7 t ha⁻¹ vermicompost and 100 kg ha⁻¹ NPSB fertilizer significantly maximizes the growth, yield, and economic returns of the common bean variety Nasir compared to sole or control treatments.
