Lavender has been cultivated in Bulgaria for over a century. The high essential oil content and quality of Bulgarian lavender varieties have established the country as a leading global producer. Studies into the crop’s genetic diversity are ess...
Micronutrients, particularly boron (B), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn), are pivotal for cotton (Gossypium spp.) growth, reproductive success, and fiber quality. However, their critical roles are often overlooked in fertility programs focuse...
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are essential for identifying genomic regions associated with agronomic traits, but Linear Mixed Model (LMM)-based GWAS face challenges in capturing complex gene interactions. This study explores the potential o...
Speed breeding technologies offer a promising avenue for accelerating crop improvement, yet their application to biennial crops like sugar beet remains constrained by extended generation cycles. This study examined the effects of supplemental phospho...
Systems favoring cross-pollination, such as male sterility and female flowering type, are of great importance in the development of new hybrid cultivars and their seed production. The advantages of male sterility are expressed in the production of ch...
Purple corn (Zea mays L.) is a nutraceutical crop of increasing economic importance in Peru, yet its productivity is highly influenced by genotype × environment (G × E) interactions across heterogeneous agro-ecological zones. Therefore, s...
The increasing environmental challenges facing modern agriculture necessitate development of sustainable, eco-friendly alternatives to chemical inputs. This study aimed to isolate and characterize rhizophilic bacterial strains from the rhizosphere of...
(1) Background: In the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Cameroon, which is affected by drought and forest decline, Vachellia nilotica leaves and seeds are fodder for livestock. (2) Methods: A provenance and progeny study on growth performance and heritability...
