Beneficial bacteria are recognised for their antimicrobial compounds, making them valuable for disease control in agriculture. Bacillus species stand out for their stability, versatility, and selectivity as biocontrol agents. This study aimed to iden...

(1) Background: Juglans neotropica Diels, native to the Andes, is highly valued for its quality wood, medicinal uses, edible fruits, and natural dyes. However, its population has been greatly reduced due to overexploitation, becoming threatened and r...

Drought poses a significant challenge to cowpea growth and productivity, necessitating the development of drought-tolerant cultivars through detailed morpho-physiological and molecular analyses. This study evaluated drought stress responses in cowpea...

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa (Korth.) Havil.) is a tropical evergreen species native to Southeast Asia, widely recognized for its medicinal properties. Recent legal changes in Thailand permitting its cultivation and commercial use have increased intere...

Mangrove ecosystems are globally significant for their biodiversity and ecosystem services but face persistent threats from invasive species and anthropogenic disturbances. This study investigates the interactions between Cyperus rotundus, a widespre...

Phytophthora cinnamomi is a major plant pathogen that affects economically important crops and natural ecosystems, posing a threat to global biodiversity. While gene editing has emerged as a powerful tool for functional genomics in various Phytophtho...

Verticillium wilt of olive (VWO), caused by Verticillium dahliae (Vd), represents a significant threat to olive cultivation, particularly to the Moroccan cultivar “Picholine Marocaine”, by reducing yield, tree survival, and overall produc...

An indigenous consortium of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) from the Figuig oasis in southern Morocco, comprising Rhizophagus sp., Funneliformis sp., Acaulospora sp., Sclerocystis sp., and Scutellospora sp., was evaluated for its effects on the gr...

The seeds of some chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) accessions are prone to sticking in twos or threes in a pod in the course of their maturation. Such seeds are usually easy to detach although their coats often become damaged due to forcible separation....

Morphological, anatomical, and molecular information facilitates the identification and inference of the relatedness of plant species. In this study, the macromorphological, micromorphological, and anatomical characteristics of nine species from the...
