Dioecious hemp cultivation faces significant productivity challenges, as approximately 50% of plants (males) produce no seeds whatsoever, functioning exclusively as pollen donors, creating substantial resource inefficiency in commercial production. T...

The intensification of rice–livestock systems has encouraged the integration of forage species into rice cultivation. However, the use of imidazolinone-tolerant rice cultivars (imazapyr + imazapic, IMIs), essential for weedy rice control, may h...

The conservation of native blueberries (Vaccinium spp.) from Andean and Amazonian ecosystems faces challenges from climate change, habitat fragmentation, and land use. In this context, this review article provides a comprehensive analysis of the most...

Platonia insignis Mart. is a native Amazonian fruit tree with considerable agro-industrial potential, yet it remains underutilized due to limited domestication efforts and the absence of breeding programs or improved genetic lines. This study aimed t...

Following publication, concerns were raised to the Editorial Office relating to a potential conflict of interest between the authors and the Academic Editors that supervised the peer-review of this article [...]

Glyphosate (N-phosphonomethylglycine) is a broad-spectrum, foliar-applied herbicide that inhibits 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) in plants. EPSPS catalyzes a crucial step in the shikimate pathway for the biosynthesis of folates a...

Chloroplast genomes are valuable tools for exploring plant evolution, photosynthesis, and molecular systematics due to their relatively conserved structure and gene content. Here, I present a comprehensive comparative analysis of complete chloroplast...

The application of plasma technology in agriculture has emerged as a promising approach to enhance plant health and manage microbial interactions, offering potential solutions for sustainable crop production and disease control. This study contribute...

Exploring microbial resources from coastal environments is crucial for enhancing food security; however, current knowledge remains limited. This study aimed to isolate and molecularly characterize bacteria associated with maize and groundnut, and to...

Lilium species produce some of the most commercially valuable ornamental flowers in the world, characterized by their attractiveness and high demand in cut flower markets. However, it is necessary to strengthen the competitiveness of this sector in t...
