This study demonstrates that incorporating up to 40% Jerusalem artichoke puree into dehydrated potato pastes, stabilized by xanthan-pectin and post-printed with calcium chloride, enables the successful 3D printing of gluten-free, prebiotic-rich foods with tunable mechanical properties and high structural integrity.
This two-year pot study demonstrates that relay cropping tobacco with gramineous or leguminous crops alters rhizosphere soil properties, microbial communities, and metabolite profiles to regulate plant growth, with silage corn emerging as the most effective treatment for enhancing soil enzyme activities and beneficial microorganisms despite generally reducing tobacco biomass compared to monoculture.
This study demonstrates that applying a 7% sucrose pulse treatment before storage is most effective for maintaining the quality of 'Magnum' cut roses during up to 21 days of wet storage, while a post-storage pulse also enhances vase life, though overall performance declines as storage duration increases.
Foliar application of trehalose effectively mitigates chromium-induced stress in pea plants by enhancing growth parameters, boosting antioxidant enzyme activity, reducing oxidative damage, and improving ion homeostasis, thereby offering a promising strategy for cultivating crops in heavy metal-polluted soils.
This study utilizes a participatory approach to identify that Maefur goat farmers prioritize productivity, survival, and adaptability traits, providing essential baseline data for designing sustainable community-based breeding programs tailored to local extensive production systems.
This study demonstrates that chitosan-coated iron oxide nanoparticles exhibit concentration-dependent effects on *Zea mays* L., inducing beneficial hormetic responses at moderate doses while causing severe oxidative stress at high levels, thereby establishing a safe application ceiling of 600 µg L⁻¹ for sustainable precision agriculture.
This study demonstrates that green-synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles, particularly at a 200 ppm concentration, effectively promote vegetative growth and provide complete protection against downy mildew in grapevines, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional chemical fungicides.
This study reveals that despite widespread awareness of Eucalyptus's negative impacts on crop productivity and social harmony, farmers in South Wollo, Ethiopia, are increasingly converting croplands to Eucalyptus plantations driven by economic necessity, labor shortages, and defensive planting strategies, a trend significantly influenced by demographic and land-use factors that necessitates urgent policy interventions for sustainable livelihood diversification.
This study demonstrates that a novel, modular thermoformed plastic mass production cage significantly enhances the scalability, operational efficiency, and reproducible egg productivity of *Aedes albopictus* adult rearing for Sterile Insect Technique programs across diverse European strains.
This study provides the first molecular evidence in Iraq of multiple *Fasciola* species, including the newly detected *Fascioloides magna*, coexisting in cattle and identifies the F200Y mutation in *F. hepatica* as a marker for benzimidazole resistance.
