Excessive use of nitrogen (N) fertilizer for sugarcane cultivation is a significant cause of greenhouse gas emission. N use-efficiency (NUE) of sugarcane is relatively low, and considerable effort is now directed to exploit biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in sugarcane. We hypothesize that genetic base-broadening of sugarcane using high-BNF Sacch...

Various abiotic stresses may affect the germination, growth, and yield of direct-seeded vegetable crops. Seed priming with effective antioxidant mediators may alleviate these environmental stresses by maintaining uniformity in seed germination and improving the subsequent health of developing seedlings. Salt-induced stress has become a limiting fac...

Introduction Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is a major threat to food security in East and central Africa. Breeding for resistance against CBSD is the most economical and sustainable way of addressing this challenge. Methods This study seeks to assess the (1) performance of CBSD incidence and severity; (2) identify genomic regions associated w...

As a leaf homologous organ, soybean pods are an essential factor in determining yield and quality of the grain. In this study, a recognition method of soybean pods and estimation of pods weight per plant were proposed based on improved YOLOv5 model. First, the YOLOv5 model was improved by using the coordinate attention (CA) module and the regressio...

Paysonia auriculata (Brassicaceae) produces multiple hydroxy fatty acids as major components of the seed oil. We tracked the changes in seed oil composition and gene expression during development, starting 14 days after flowers had been pollinated. Seed oil changes showed initially higher levels of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (FAs) but li...

Roots are the main organs through which plants absorb water and nutrients. As the key phytohormone involved in root growth, auxin functions in plant environmental responses by modulating auxin synthesis, distribution and polar transport. The Arabidopsis thaliana trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase gene AtTPPI can improve root architecture, and tppi1 ...

Plant pathogenic fungi cause severe yield losses and mycotoxin contamination in crops. The precise and rapid detection of fungal pathogens is essential for effective disease management. Sequencing universal DNA barcodes has become the standard method for the diagnosis of fungal diseases, as well as for identification and phylogenetic analysis. A ma...

Spatial distribution and orientation of pods on the main raceme (stem) and branches could affect rapeseed yield. However, genomic regions underlying the pod orientation were not described in Brassica species. Here, we determined the extent of genetic variation in pod orientation, described as the angles of pedicel on raceme (APR) and angles of the ...

Information provided by population genetic studies is often necessary to effectively protect endangered species. In general, such data is scarce for aquatic plants and this holds also for Luronium natans, an aquatic macrophyte endemic to northwestern and western Europe. It is threatened across its whole distribution range due to human influences, i...

Chemical fertilizer overuse is a major environmental threat, critically polluting soil and water resources. An optimization of nitrogen (N) fertilizer application in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in association with various irrigation scheduling is a potential approach in this regard. A 2-year field experiment was carried out to assess the gr...
