The oasis agricultural system is facing challenges due to water scarcity, aridity, and salinity. Conventional date palm pollination remains costly under these conditions. This study evaluated the pollination of Mech Degla, a dry cultivar, using liqui...
Ionizing radiation can impair maize germination, growth, membrane integrity, and chlorophyll-related traits. Zn-containing seed treatments may modify stress responses, but organic-ligand-containing Zn preparations remain poorly characterized under ir...
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used for their antimicrobial properties, and their release into the environment has raised concerns about their effects on plant growth. We previously showed that AgNP inhibits primary root elongation in Arabid...
The Bidah pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is an elite landrace native to Wadi Bidah in the Al-Baha region of Saudi Arabia. This cultivar is distinguished by its unique taste, high yield, genetic component, and phytochemical profile. In addition, its...
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is a major food-security crop in developing countries, but its productivity is constrained by the accumulation of viral pathogens through repeated vegetative propagation. In vitro culture, combined with virus indexin...
Intraspecific variation in Tanacetum vulgare L. has been documented, but it remains unclear which morphological and anatomical traits differ among localities in Kokshetau State National Nature Park and whether the principal stem and leaf organization...
Wild plant populations in mountain ecosystems often depend on specific combinations of soil, vegetation and microsite conditions. Alcea nudiflora (Lindl.) Boiss. is a poorly studied Malvaceae species in Central Asia, and its population structure acro...
The genus Populus L. includes ecologically important woody species that occupy diverse floodplain habitats and exhibit considerable morphological and anatomical variation. The aim of this study was to comparatively assess the morphological, anatomica...
Bidens pilosa L. is a widespread weed that invades grasslands, agricultural fields, and roadsides, and outcompetes indigenous plant species for resources, posing significant challenges to sustainable agricultural management. The study investigated th...
Drought tolerance testing of various soybean varieties under specific regional conditions is important, but it has never been conducted on the rainfed soils of Gunungkidul, Indonesia. This study aims to assess the drought-tolerance responses of Demas...
Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are the most economically important group of plant-parasitic nematodes worldwide. We tested whether foliar elicitors induce defense enzymes in leaves and reduce nematode reproduction in the roots of the same pla...
Effective banana sucker management is essential for plantation renewal because physical removal may allow regrowth from viable rhizome buds. This study compared localized pseudostem application of glyphosate (480 g a.e. L−1; 1.8 mL shoot−...
Ensuring sustainable wheat production is crucial for food security, particularly in regions facing plant diseases and environmental challenges. In the Middle East, wheat powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, significantly threat...
The present study based in Jupiter, Florida, was a near-first look at urban native plant ecology in southern Florida. There were three objectives: 1. produce a ranked tally of native species in the urbanized environment; 2. assess the prevalence of h...
