Aluminum toxicity in acidic soils threatens rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivation, hindering agricultural productivity. This study explores the potential of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as a novel and sustainable approach to mitigate alum...

The yellow pitcher plant, Sarracenia flava, is an insectivorous perennial distributed extensively in southeastern North America. In Virginia, it is restricted to a few wetland ecosystems, with only one natural site known to remain. To uncover whether...

Drought is among the stress factors that, on a global scale, have direct negative effects on plant growth, yield, and quality. Great efforts are directed towards water shortage adaptation. Exploring the genetic diversity of landraces often tolerant t...

Pico Island is one of the islands of the Azores archipelago located in the North Atlantic Ocean, where there are very specific conditions for vine cultivation. In this context, there is scarce knowledge related to grape ripening under these condition...

Tropical ferns are underrepresented in demographic studies, despite their ecological importance in forest ecosystems. This study investigates the mortality rates of terrestrial ferns along an elevational gradient (500–4000 m a.s.l.) in Ecuador,...

Drought is becoming more prevalent and negatively affects the growth and development of barley. To explore the genetic variation in barley under drought stress, ten breeding genotypes were tested using polyethylene glycol-6000 to simulate drought con...

This study aimed to detect an impact of water–ethanol extracts of different microalgae species—Spirulina platensis, Dunaliella salina and Chlorella vulgaris—on the accumulation of bioactive compounds in tomatoes. A treatment with th...

Cultivation is advocated as a solution for the sustainable exploitation of medicinal plants. Understanding environmental factors influencing plant species distribution will eliminate the indiscriminate introduction of medicinal plants to inappropriat...

Plant sterols (STs) are essential for the regulation of fluidity and permeability of cell membranes, which have a wide structural diversity. The dynamics of changes in sterol molecular species in leaves of a valuable cereal crop, spring oat (Avena sa...

Magneto-priming (MP) has been reported as a sustainable method to enhance crop yield and resistance to adverse environmental conditions; however, any physiochemical basis for these findings remains unavailable. In the present study, soybean (Glycine...
