Split injection with BNI breaks the trade-off between NH3 and greenhouse gas emissions in rice-wheat rotations

A two-year rice-wheat rotation study demonstrates that split injection of water-soluble fertilizers combined with the biological nitrification inhibitor MHPP simultaneously eliminates ammonia volatilization, significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and enhances grain yield and economic returns, thereby resolving the traditional trade-off between environmental protection and agricultural productivity.

Foliar nutrient-induced modulation of yield, juice quality and biochemical traits in Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) cv. Malta

This study demonstrates that foliar application of specific nutrients, particularly 1.0% K₂SO₄ for maximizing yield and 2.0% ZnSO₄ or 1.0% H₃BO₃ for enhancing specific quality traits, significantly improves fruit production, juice quality, and biochemical attributes in sweet orange cv. Malta under West Bengal conditions.

Valorization of crude glycerol from heterotrophic microalgae cultivation: optimization and characterization of bioproducts

This study demonstrates that optimizing the heterotrophic cultivation of *Chlorella vulgaris* using crude glycerol enables the simultaneous production of high-quality biodiesel precursors and valuable extracellular polymeric substances with emulsifying and rheological properties, effectively valorizing biodiesel industry waste.

Environmental Screening of Dewatered Fish-Processing Wastewater Sludge for Land Application: Species-Specific Phytotoxicity and Exposure Limitations

This study reanalyzes historical data to demonstrate that while dewatered fish-processing wastewater sludge shows no consistent phytotoxicity in cucumber and arugula, heterogeneous responses in lettuce and the absence of critical exposure-matched data necessitate a tiered assessment approach before the sludge can be deemed safe for land application.

Deciphering the Phenotype and Metabotype Shifts in Nellore Calves Sired by Bulls Selected for Meat Tenderness

This study demonstrates that genetic selection for meat tenderness in Nellore calves is associated with distinct phenotypic traits and serum metabotype shifts detectable from birth through weaning, revealing underlying differences in energy, antioxidant, and amino acid metabolism.

Dynamics of mycorrhization in agroforestry systems based on the Guiera senegalensis shrub in Sanghaïe (Commune of Niakhar) in Senegal

In Sahelian agroforestry systems in Senegal, the study reveals that while *Guiera senegalensis* shrubs enhance root mycorrhization in millet, organic soil management is the primary driver of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal activity and crop resilience, rather than the spatial proximity to the shrubs.

Integrating Thermal Adaptation and Fatty Acid Quality: Functional Differentiation among Six Isochrysis Strains and Its Application to Precision Strain Selection for Aquaculture Hatcheries

This study characterizes the distinct thermal adaptation ranges and fatty acid nutritional profiles of six *Isochrysis* strains, establishing a functional differentiation framework that enables precision strain selection to match specific aquaculture hatchery temperature conditions and nutritional requirements.

Exploring genetic polymorphism in exon 1 region of PGLYRP-1 gene and its association with age at first calving and production traits in Sahiwal cattle

This study identified a rare G/C polymorphism in exon 1 of the PGLYRP-1 gene in Sahiwal cattle but found no statistically significant association between the detected genotypes and production or reproductive traits, likely due to the limited sample size of the rare GC genotype.

Morphological and Molecular Identification of Toxocara cati in cats from Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province of China

A study of 155 cats in Taizhou City, China, identified a 12.9% prevalence of *Toxocara cati* infection—significantly higher in kittens, strays, and untreated animals—and confirmed the parasite's molecular identity through *nad1* sequencing, highlighting the need for targeted deworming and One Health interventions to mitigate zoonotic risks.

Leucine-Rich Repeat Receptor-Like Kinases Are Important Regulators of Cold Tolerance in Sainfoin

This study identifies four leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases (LRR-RLKs) as key regulators of cold tolerance in the high-yielding sainfoin cultivar 'Lanhong No.1', demonstrating their role in enhancing survival and forage yield through improved stress response mechanisms and offering a promising target for molecular breeding of cold-hardy forage legumes.
