This study demonstrates that low concentrations of lead and cadmium nitrates effectively induce genetic variability and improve agronomic traits in grain amaranth, with lead nitrate showing superior mutagenic efficacy and the resulting M3 lines exhibiting high heritability suitable for future genetic and transcriptomic analysis.
This paper outlines the evolution of bioinformatics education in India from early short-term training to structured degree programs, with a specific focus on the curriculum integration, opportunities, and challenges within the undergraduate agricultural biotechnology program at Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour.
This study demonstrates that harvesting *Cichorium intybus* var. Chico at 40 days yields comparable biomass and emission intensity to a 60-day harvest, while incorporating the forage into thin-tailed sheep diets at up to 45% of dry matter significantly enhances nutrient digestibility, growth rates, and feed efficiency, thereby supporting sustainable tropical sheep production.
This study demonstrates that cultivating *Psychotria viridis* in shaded agroforestry systems, rather than full sun, promotes morphological uniformity, enhanced drought resilience, and robust fruiting by replicating the species' native understory conditions, thereby offering a sustainable framework for its cultivation.
This study characterizes the starch digestibility, predicted glycemic index, and microstructural properties of North Indian maize genotypes, revealing that high amylose content correlates with increased resistant starch and lower glycemic potential, with the ADHAM 15 mutant identified as a promising candidate for developing low-glycemic maize hybrids.
The paper introduces WiDiPo, a publicly accessible collection of over 200 clonally maintained wild diploid potato genotypes characterized by their genetic and phenotypic traits, to facilitate their effective use as a resource for enhancing potato breeding germplasm.
This study demonstrates that the Cation Ratio of Soil Structural Stability (CROSS) is a superior indicator to the traditional Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) for predicting soil structural degradation and permeability hazards under recycled water irrigation by more accurately accounting for the dispersive effects of potassium and the flocculating roles of calcium and magnesium.
This paper proposes an optimized multi-class rice leaf disease classification framework that integrates a Recursive Feature Elimination-based "RiceFS" mechanism with ensemble machine learning, demonstrating that an Optimized SVM classifier achieves superior performance (92.10% accuracy) to support sustainable agriculture through timely disease intervention and resource optimization.
This study reveals that intercropping *Asparagus cochinchinensis* under *Pinus massoniana* enhances medicinal saponin quality by decoupling morphological growth from metabolic activity, driven by rhizosphere-enriched *trans*-cinnamic acid and GA4 that modulate endogenous salicylic acid and cis-OPDA signaling pathways.
This study demonstrates that supplementing agricultural residue substrates with calcium carbonate effectively reduces toxic metal accumulation in *Pleurotus ostreatus*, ensuring that the resulting mushrooms pose negligible non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks for human consumption.
