Genome-Wide Association Mapping Identifies Candidate Loci and Genes for Agronomic Traits in the Barley Primary Gene Pool

This study integrates genome-wide association mapping with linkage disequilibrium, haplotype, and candidate gene analyses across 137 barley accessions to identify and prioritize robust genomic loci and biologically plausible genes controlling key agronomic traits, thereby providing valuable resources for marker-assisted breeding and the utilization of wild barley diversity.

Monitoring of Bacterial Cold Water Disease by quantification of Flavobacterium psychrophilum in water by qPCR

This study validates qPCR as an effective monitoring tool for Bacterial Cold Water Disease by demonstrating a correlation between *Flavobacterium psychrophilum* concentrations in water and disease status, identifying a threshold of approximately 20,000 copies/mL as a significant risk factor for infection in salmonid farms.

Processed Pigeon Pea Meal Partially Replaces Soybean Meal in Sasso Chicken Diets: Growth, Feed Efficiency, Carcass Traits, Economic Outcomes

This study demonstrates that while processed pigeon pea meal can partially replace soybean meal in Sasso chicken diets without significantly affecting growth or carcass traits under Ethiopian smallholder conditions, its use at higher inclusion levels reduces feed efficiency and requires careful economic evaluation and amino acid supplementation to mitigate overall losses.

Preliminary investigations of farm residues for the recovery by sorption of critical metals from seawater in a novel flow reactor

This study demonstrates that agricultural residues, particularly potato skin, serve as effective low-cost biosorbents for recovering critical metals like vanadium, nickel, and uranium from seawater in a novel continuous-flow reactor, revealing that flow conditions significantly reduce metal accumulation compared to static systems due to the diminished role of biological and redox-driven processes.

Assessing operational readiness for animal health inspection across Ghana's designated points of entry

A 2025 cross-sectional survey of Ghana's 13 designated points of entry reveals critically low operational readiness for animal health inspection, with only one border meeting the 80% threshold due to widespread deficiencies in infrastructure, quarantine facilities, laboratory capacity, and the complete absence of standard operating procedures.

Effects of weak light and nitrogen on physiological and biochemical characteristics, quality traits and yield of soft wheat

This study demonstrates that while weak light stress during the grain filling period significantly impairs soft wheat yield and starch synthesis while increasing protein content, appropriate nitrogen fertilization effectively mitigates these adverse effects by enhancing photosynthetic capacity, antioxidant defense, and overall grain quality.

Optimizing Urea Use for Dryland Vetch under Minimum and No- Tillage Systems: Nonlinear Yield Responses and Economic Implications

A four-year field study in Iran demonstrates that optimizing urea application for dryland vetch under minimum and no-tillage systems requires balancing nonlinear yield responses with economic returns, revealing that moderate nitrogen rates often provide the most profitable strategy by achieving near-maximum yields while accounting for significant site-specific and tillage-dependent variations.

Temporary immersion bioreactors support proliferation but limit developmental progression and somatic embryo maturation in Pinus radiata D. Don

While Temporary Immersion Bioreactors (TIBs) effectively support the proliferation of *Pinus radiata* embryogenic tissue, they significantly hinder developmental progression and somatic embryo maturation compared to conventional semi-solid cultures, resulting in lower yields of mature embryos despite the ability of the few produced to germinate.

Sugar beet yellowing viruses in Belgium: insights from two complementary field surveys

This study characterizes the epidemiology of aphid-transmitted yellowing viruses in Belgian sugar beets through two field surveys, identifying Beet mild yellowing virus as the dominant pathogen, confirming wild Beta vulgaris as a potential overwintering reservoir, and documenting limited viral genetic diversity to inform integrated management strategies.
