This study identifies *Cytobacillus oceanisediminis* strain PP10, a novel halotolerant rhizobacterium isolated from *Plantago ovata*, as a multifunctional plant growth-promoting agent that produces diverse bioactive metabolites, suppresses fungal pathogens, and significantly enhances crop growth under saline conditions.
This study utilized Mahalanobis D² statistics on 51 linseed genotypes to identify substantial genetic divergence across eight clusters, revealing specific parental groups with superior traits for seed yield and nutritional quality to guide future breeding programs.
Despite moderate nutrition knowledge among participants, the study reveals a high prevalence of low energy availability and inadequate dietary intake in athletes, highlighting the critical role of coaches as mediators and the urgent need for specialized nutrition education programs led by registered dietitians.
This study demonstrates that while irrigation management significantly impacts physiological responses, the choice of rootstock, particularly Flying Dragon and BRS Matta, is the primary determinant of vegetative growth and yield in 'Tahiti' acid lime under varying water availability, with no significant interaction observed between the two factors.
This study establishes a standardized, efficient in-vitro regeneration pipeline for *Phalaenopsis hybrida* cv. 'Big Chili' using leaf explants by optimizing culture media and identifying critical factors like thidiazuron concentration, leaf age, and inoculation orientation to overcome browning and low efficiency, thereby enabling mass seedling production and genetic transformation.
Using a three-round panel dataset from southern Benin and advanced econometric modeling, this study demonstrates that the intensive, combined adoption of certified seeds, improved technical itineraries, and irrigation systems significantly enhances household welfare by increasing per capita expenditure and improving food security, particularly for male-headed households.
This study integrates ethnobotanical surveys and agroecological experiments across Ethiopia to demonstrate that *Pisum sativum* var. *abyssinicum* landraces perform best in mid-altitude regions with neutral pH Nitisol soils, yielding 300–400 kg ha⁻¹, with the Gedober landrace showing superior harvest index.
This study of smallholder farmers in southwestern Ethiopia reveals that while the adoption of diverse Climate-Smart Agriculture packages significantly improves household food and nutrition security, the specific benefits vary across different practice combinations and household characteristics, underscoring the need for targeted, integrated interventions supported by better access to information, credit, and extension services.
This study presents the development of the Saudi Food Composition Database (SFCD), a structured, bilingual web-based platform containing 2,818 locally relevant food items and 322 nutrients, designed to replace reliance on international data and support evidence-based dietary assessment, research, and public health policymaking in Saudi Arabia.
Based on a cross-sectional study of 120 enterprises in Southwest Ethiopia, this paper concludes that dairy and poultry farming are profitable, with productivity significantly driven by education, herd size, veterinary services, and production systems, prompting recommendations to strengthen extension services and infrastructure to further enhance these sectors.
