This study demonstrates that increasing stand age in mulberry plantations enhances the temperature sensitivity of soil microbial respiration by altering soil substrate availability and microbial community structure, thereby providing critical insights for the sustainable management of sericulture ecosystems.
This study demonstrates that essential oils from *Camphora officinarum*, *Camellia sinensis*, and *Allium sativum* exhibit potent repellent, fumigant, and antifeedant activities against the sweet potato weevil (*Cylas formicarius*), positioning them as promising eco-friendly alternatives for integrated pest management.
This study utilizes QTL mapping and genomic analysis in a wheat doubled haploid population to identify 179 stable and environment-responsive loci, along with 170 prioritized candidate genes involved in heat signaling and metabolism, thereby elucidating the complex genetic architecture underlying terminal heat-stress tolerance in wheat.
This study successfully established an efficient in vitro protocol for inducing autopolyploidy in three *Mandevilla* genotypes using colchicine, achieving up to 57.1% polyploidization frequency and demonstrating that this strategy effectively enhances ornamental traits for future breeding programs.
This study demonstrates that incorporating Lippia origanoides essential oil nanoemulsions into carboxymethyl cellulose films creates active packaging with enhanced UV-blocking, dose-dependent antioxidant, and selective antimicrobial properties, making it a promising solution for preserving refrigerated or fresh foods.
Controlled bioassays demonstrate that *Cannabis sativa* exhibits superior tolerance to and accumulation of cadmium, while *Medicago sativa* shows greater capacity for zinc accumulation, suggesting distinct species-specific roles in phytoremediation strategies.
This study characterizes nine Apulian chickpea landraces using an integrated multidisciplinary approach, revealing that red and black seed varieties possess superior antioxidant profiles and a stress-responsive gene expression pattern that collectively suggest enhanced drought tolerance and nutritional value for future breeding programs.
This study reveals that while stem forking in loblolly pine is under significant additive genetic control at the family level, making family-based genomic selection effective for reducing the defect, its expression in individual trees is strongly influenced by environmental factors, resulting in low individual heritability and challenging prediction accuracy.
This study reveals that phosphorus deficiency-induced heading delay in rice is a genetically distinct trait influenced by specific genes (notably Ef7), pairwise gene interactions (particularly Ghd7 × Hd1), and significant environmental context, providing key insights for breeding rice with optimized phenological adaptation to phosphorus stress.
By integrating archaeological evidence with a dynamic diffusion model, this study reveals that Holocene crop dispersal in China was not a uniform expansion but a multicentred, mechanism-specific process shaped by distinct spatial opportunity structures for millet, rice, and wheat/barley.
