Phaseolus vulgaris L. is one of the most important legumes for human consumption due to its contents of proteins, antioxidants, minerals, and bioactive compounds. In the last decade, there has been a growing research interest in increasing yields whi...

Saline environments shape plant metabolism, driving ecological and biochemical adaptations. This study investigated the impact of salinity on Adenosma indiana (Indian scent-wort), a medicinal herb known for its volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and a...

There is limited information on the genetic response of tomato cultivars to pathogens. This study investigated the genetic mechanism of tomato that confers tolerance against Phytophthora infestans (Ph) and Aspergills niger (Asp) infection using diffe...

Changes in the environment have a significant impact on photosynthetic efficiency, which in turn influences plant growth and yield. Consequently, there is a greater focus on methods to enhance photosynthetic efficiency with the goal of raising plant...

“GiSelA 17” (Prunus canescens × Prunus avium) is a novel cherry clonal rootstock with the ability to bear fruit early and resist replant situations, and it has a high tolerance to the menaces of Prunus dwarf virus (PDV) and Prunus n...

Drought and salinity are major factors that hinder crop cultivation and significantly impair agricultural productivity, particularly in (semi)arid regions. These two abiotic constraints cause deterioration in soil structure and reduced fertility and...

Guar is a legume cultivated for its high seed galactomannan content. India is the major guar producer globally and the U.S. has the largest guar market worldwide. Guar is drought-tolerant and suitable as a summer rotational crop in dryland farming sy...

Hoplocampa testudinea, the European Apple Sawfly, is an important pest in apple throughout Canada. Losses can be up to 80% in some areas. Adults of H. testudinea are active during the bloom period and larvae are contained with the developing fruitlet...

Investigating the impact of oxygen-enriched water combined with LED light on lettuce growth for two consecutive cycles is essential for advancing greenhouse cultivation in Mediterranean climates, where summer heat poses significant challenges. This s...

Aquaporins are transmembrane proteins that mediate the transport of water, as well as various ions and molecules. In plants, they play a critical role in numerous processes, including stress adaptation, nutrition, cellular communication, and transpir...
