This study demonstrates that inoculating sugarcane with a specific bacterial synthetic community (SC3) enhances drought resilience by modulating transcriptomic responses, shifting signaling pathways from hormone reliance to MAPK activation and prioritizing energy allocation toward membrane integrity and lignification over antioxidant production.
This study conducted in Central and Southern Ethiopia from October 2023 to May 2025 revealed a high Foot-and-Mouth Disease seroprevalence of 80.89% among cattle, identified circulating serotypes O, A, SAT1, and SAT2, and highlighted critical gaps in biosecurity practices such as vaccination and quarantine that necessitate urgent intervention.
This study demonstrates that low-dose gamma irradiation (specifically 50 Gy) acts as an effective seed priming strategy to enhance salinity tolerance in canola by activating antioxidant defenses and osmotic adjustment mechanisms, thereby mitigating oxidative stress and improving germination and early seedling growth under saline conditions.
This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover pilot study found that oral cannabidiol oil was well-tolerated by dogs with osteoarthritis but produced only modest and variable pain relief, providing essential effect size data to guide the design of future adequately powered clinical trials.
This scoping review of 67 studies (2015–2025) argues that while *Bacillus* probiotics show promise for improving aquaculture productivity and antibiotic stewardship, their commercial translation requires shifting from genus-level generalizations to strain-specific evaluations of efficacy, biosafety, and environmental stability within a comprehensive translational-readiness framework.
This study of 58 smallholder dairy farmers in Southwestern Uganda reveals that while forage production is dominated by continuous maize monocultures with significant soil nutrient mining risks, operational authority and geographic location—not gender or education—are the primary drivers determining plot scale and fertilizer adoption strategies.
Despite net cropland expansion in Southeast Asia from 2000 to 2022, the study reveals that the conversion of high-quality land to urban areas and the expansion of lower-potential frontier lands have collectively reduced per-capita cereal production potential and increased import dependence, demonstrating that land quantity alone is an insufficient indicator of food security.
This study reveals that onion seed production among smallholder farmers in Ethiopia's Central Rift Valley is hindered by a reliance on informal, unauthenticated seed sources and traditional practices, necessitating strengthened public-private partnerships and formal distribution systems to improve seed quality, reduce losses, and support sustainable development.
A two-year field study at Punjab Agricultural University demonstrated that wheat grown under poplar plantations achieves optimal growth and yield when sown in late October or mid-November to synchronize with the trees' leafless phase and escape terminal heat stress, with foliar application of 2% potassium nitrate or 0.5% zinc sulphate further significantly boosting grain production compared to the control.
This study demonstrates that the invasive grass *Aegilops tauschii* exhibits a colonization-competition trade-off based on seed position, where seeds from higher positions on the spike possess greater colonization potential but reduced competitive ability against wheat, ultimately enhancing the species' adaptability to diverse environments.
