Effects of Dietary Bee-Collected Chestnut Pollen on Growth Performance, Innate Immune Responses, and Antioxidant Defense in European Catfish (Silurus glanis) Reared at Different Stocking Densities

This study demonstrates that supplementing the diet of European catfish with 2% bee-collected chestnut pollen significantly enhances growth performance, innate immune responses, and antioxidant defenses while mitigating oxidative stress, even under high stocking density conditions.

Shade partially alleviates drought stress in soybean through genotype-dependent phenylpropanoid regulation and interorgan aglycone redistribution

This study reveals that moderate shade partially alleviates drought stress in soybeans by promoting genotype-dependent phenylpropanoid regulation and the interorgan redistribution of bioactive aglycones, with the shade-tolerant ND12 genotype outperforming the sensitive C103 through enhanced leaf isoflavone accumulation and coordinated physiological maintenance.

Flushed Hybrid Bioreactor Landfill: Innovation for enhancement of rate of biogas generation and reduction in stabilization time of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste in landfill

This study demonstrates that a flushed hybrid bioreactor landfill, specifically optimized with specific operational parameters in reactor FHB3, significantly enhances biogas generation rates by 17.16% and reduces the stabilization time of organic municipal solid waste by 26.16% compared to traditional anaerobic bioreactor landfills.

Combining metabolomic platforms (LC-MS and 1H-NMR) to characterize the metabolic response to feed restriction of European and local Caribbean pigs in a tropical climate

By integrating LC-MS and 1H-NMR metabolomics, this study reveals that while both Large White and Creole pigs primarily rely on amino acid metabolism during feed restriction, the Creole breed exhibits distinct metabolic fuel preferences and muscle deposition mechanisms that likely underpin its superior adaptation to tropical environmental challenges.

Dry Season Chemical Properties and Nutrient Status of Agricultural Soils in Gopalganj District Bangladesh

This study evaluated the dry-season chemical properties and nutrient status of agricultural soils in Gopalganj District, Bangladesh, revealing that while the soils are generally suitable for cultivation, they face moderate fertility constraints due to low organic matter and insufficient nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium levels.

Presumptive Campylobacter occurrence and representative molecular confirmation in poultry and fresh produce from Punjab, India

A survey of poultry and fresh produce in Punjab, India, revealed a high prevalence of presumptive *Campylobacter* contamination (48.5%) across both matrices, with molecular confirmation of representative isolates indicating the presence of *C. jejuni* and *C. coli* markers, though further genomic and resistance studies are needed to establish transmission risks.

White plastic mulch in high and low trellis improves light microclimate, growth, ecophysiological and biomass parameters, and production in hops under tropical conditions climate

This study demonstrates that using white plastic mulch in both high and low trellis systems significantly enhances light reflection, physiological performance, and biomass production of hops grown in tropical climates, thereby improving the crop's viability outside its native temperate regions.
