Osmotic stress-induced changes in physiological behavior and metabolites of in vitro cultures of Clerodendrum indicum (L.) O. Kuntze

This study demonstrates that moderate PEG-induced drought stress (up to -0.21 MPa) in *Clerodendrum indicum* callus triggers ROS-mediated stress and impairs organogenesis, yet simultaneously activates antioxidant enzymes and secondary metabolite production, offering a viable in vitro strategy for enhancing pharmaceutical compound recovery without impacting natural habitats.

Exogenous Enzyme Supplementation for Beef Cattle under Dry-Season Nutritional Strategies: Effects on Growth Performance, Nutrient Utilization and Ruminal Fermentation

This study demonstrates that exogenous fibrolytic enzyme supplementation enhances growth performance and ruminal fermentation in grazing beef cattle during the tropical dry season, with its efficacy significantly amplified when integrated into protein–energy supplementation strategies rather than protein-only regimens.

Morphology-dependent efficacy of Chlorella vulgaris biostimulants in alleviating salinity stress in rice

This study demonstrates that immobilized *Chlorella vulgaris* beads in sodium alginate–polyvinyl alcohol matrices are significantly more effective than powder or paste formulations in alleviating salinity stress in rice by enhancing antioxidant enzyme activity, reducing oxidative damage, and improving photosynthetic performance through rhizospheric ion regulation and EPS-mediated chelation.

Development and Standardization of In-House-Made Indirect Elisa Kit for Detection of Antibodies Against Infectious Bursal Disease Virus in Chickens

This study reports the development and validation of a cost-effective in-house indirect ELISA kit using DF-1 cell-adapted Infectious Bursal Disease Virus as an antigen, which demonstrated high sensitivity, specificity, and strong correlation with a commercial kit for detecting antibodies against the virus in chickens.

Effects of nitrogen fertilization on soil phosphorus speciation and soil microbial communities in different rotation cropping systems

Based on an 11-year field experiment in the Yangtze River Basin, this study reveals that balanced dual-season nitrogen fertilization significantly enhances soil phosphorus availability and microbial diversity in rice-oilseed rape rotations by modulating soil properties and microbial communities, with water management serving as the overarching determinant of these effects.

Linking Bark Structure, Chemistry and Functional Properties to Valorisation Pathways: A Systematic Review for Circular Forest Biorefineries

This systematic review synthesizes evidence on tree bark's anatomical and chemical heterogeneity to establish a structure–chemistry–function–process–product framework that guides the development of commercially viable, circular forest biorefineries for valorizing bark into high-value materials, chemicals, and energy.

Cost-Effective Smartphone-Based Computer Vision Pipeline for Actinidia Phenological Stage Mapping

This study introduces the Mobile Phenological Mapping (MPM) framework, a cost-effective smartphone-based computer vision system that generates georeferenced phenological maps for kiwifruit orchards, drastically reducing labor time and costs while enabling targeted pollination interventions to address flowering asynchrony.

Institutional fragility and climatic exposure drive biocultural vulnerability in traditional agricultural knowledge systems

This study synthesizes evidence from 47 studies to demonstrate that institutional fragility, particularly regarding legal land tenure, and climatic exposure are primary drivers of biocultural vulnerability in traditional agricultural knowledge systems, suggesting that safeguarding policies must integrate legal reinforcement, community organization, and climate adaptation strategies.

Toward enhancing biomass growth of the red macroalga Gracilariopsis tenuifrons: effects of harvesting regime, stocking density and nutrient source

This study demonstrates that the red macroalga *Gracilariopsis tenuifrons* achieves optimal biomass growth under low-density cultivation without biomass removal using Forth orchid fertilizer as a cost-effective alternative to conventional laboratory media, thereby offering a viable solution to enhance seaweed production in Brazil.

Effects of long-term successive subculture on phenotype, organogenesis capacity, and genetic stability in pear

This study demonstrates that long-term successive subculture of pear 'Qingzhen D1' induces phenotypic and physiological changes linked to altered hormone levels and a specific non-synonymous mutation in the cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (CKX) gene, while maintaining overall genetic stability and ploidy.
