This study demonstrates that treating argan seeds with a 1 g/L microalgae extract significantly enhances germination performance and seedling vigor under salinity stress by inducing protective priming that optimizes osmotic adjustment and macromolecular protection while reducing oxidative distress.
This study maps the largely unregulated cross-border pig and pork supply chain between Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, revealing significant gaps in veterinary oversight and health inspections that facilitate the transmission of *Taenia solium* to consumers in Haut-Katanga Province.
This study demonstrates that applying humic substances effectively mitigates salt stress in papaya seedlings by enhancing photosynthetic efficiency, membrane stability, and substrate nutrient availability, thereby improving overall growth and seedling quality under saline irrigation conditions.
This study identifies diverse wood-rotting fungi infecting Indian sandalwood and quantifies their severe impact through significant mass loss, chemical degradation of lignocellulose components, reduced thermal stability, and progressive structural deterioration.
This study demonstrates that deep soil re-engineering to simultaneously alleviate acidity, aluminum toxicity, and mechanical strength in duplex soils significantly enhances canola productivity by transforming root-zone functionality, which promotes deeper rooting and superior resource acquisition beyond what root size alone can achieve.
This study investigates the diffusion and penetration of lignohumate into plant leaves using both model hydrogel systems and direct leaf experiments, revealing that while lignohumate comprises both small molecules and larger supramolecules, only the smaller fraction can effectively penetrate the cuticle barrier, with the choice of cuticle isolation method significantly influencing barrier integrity.
This study evaluates the limited accuracy of the Minnesota formula for predicting the body weight of Sunandhini cattle across different life stages and successfully develops new, more accurate regression-based equations and a PCA model to improve weight estimation for this composite breed.
This study comprehensively characterizes 30 indigenous coriander accessions from Madhya Pradesh, India, by integrating morphological and biochemical analyses to reveal significant genetic diversity, identify distinct chemotypes, and pinpoint elite germplasm with high heritability for breeding improved cultivars tailored to industrial needs.
This study demonstrates that *Salicornia lagascae* clones derived from liquid micropropagation systems exhibit superior physiological and metabolic acclimation to high salinity compared to solid-system clones, highlighting in vitro selection as an effective strategy for generating elite halophytic germplasm for saline agriculture and soil restoration.
This study demonstrates that persimmon cultivation in Kullu District, Himachal Pradesh, is a financially viable and resilient enterprise, yielding a high benefit-cost ratio of 2.19, an internal rate of return of 29%, and a net present value of Rs. 17,42,403.62 per hectare, with peak profitability observed in orchards aged 13–20 years.
