This study elucidates the physiological and transcriptomic mechanisms of drought tolerance in *Citrus reticulata* 'Hong Mei Ren', revealing a phase-dependent adaptive strategy that shifts from coordinated antioxidant defense, osmotic adjustment, and ABA-mediated growth suppression under mild-to-moderate stress to broad photosynthetic and hormonal suppression under severe drought.
This study identifies 5 days post-anthesis as the critical developmental window for drought-induced ovule abortion in cotton and reveals that the disruption of carbon-nitrogen assimilate allocation, driven by ABC transporter-mediated metabolic imbalances, serves as the underlying trigger for this reproductive failure.
This study evaluated seven machine learning and deep learning models using 12,544 rice field-seasons in Acadia, Louisiana, finding that Gradient Boosting achieved the highest predictive accuracy (R² = 0.960) and that the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) was the dominant predictor of rice vegetation condition, far surpassing other environmental variables.
This study demonstrates that selenium nanoparticles green-synthesized using the native Saudi Arabian succulent *Aizoon canariense* significantly enhance salinity tolerance in maize and soybean by coordinating osmotic adjustment, ion regulation, antioxidant defense, and photosynthetic recovery, with a concentration of 1.0 mg Se L⁻¹ proving most effective.
This study demonstrates that protein isolates from *Sargassum tenerrimum* seaweed, when processed via freeze, vacuum, or spray drying, yield high-quality, safe, and bioactive proteins with distinct structural and functional properties, where spray drying offers superior emulsifying and foaming capabilities while freeze drying preserves higher phenolic content.
This study constructs and preliminarily characterizes a multi-parent sorghum population derived from eleven diverse founders, demonstrating that it retains substantial genetic and phenotypic diversity, exhibits transgressive segregation for flowering time, and contains significant marker-trait associations, thereby establishing a valuable resource for climate-adaptive breeding and genetic dissection of complex traits.
This study demonstrates that alginate-based active packaging incorporating antioxidant-rich extracts from pequi fruit residues effectively preserves olive oil quality by maintaining peroxide and acidity levels within legal limits during storage.
This paper proposes an asymmetric deep texture and morphological feature fusion framework that combines handcrafted geometric metrics with CNN-derived deep features to achieve robust, overfitting-resistant coffee bean classification, successfully demonstrating its effectiveness and industrial feasibility through a lightweight embedded edge inference prototype.
This eleven-year regulatory surveillance study in Malawi reveals that 37.6% of commercial food samples exceeded national aflatoxin limits, with processed products—particularly peanut flour and infant foods—showing significantly higher contamination levels and posing a substantial public health risk through elevated liver cancer exposure.
This case report describes the first documented instance of fatal septicemia and acute necro-purulent glomerulonephritis in a captive smooth-coated otter caused by *Neisseria zoodegmatis*, likely entering through severe periodontitis, highlighting the bacterium's systemic pathogenic potential and One Health implications for wildlife management.
