The secondary, substitute habitats are becoming more important for the survival of many valuable plant species, including medicinal plants—for example, bearberry Arctostaphylos uva-ursi. The aim of the conducted research is to compare the abili...

Fruit firmness in sweet cherries (Prunus avium L.) is a critical quality parameter highly valued by consumers as it is associated with fruit freshness. In general, firm fruit also cope better with storage and handling. Gibberellic acid (GA) is common...

The impact of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) corn straw returning on the soil ecosystem has attracted significant attention. In this study, taking the homologous conventional corn 5422 as a control, we explored the effects of Bt corn (5422Bt1 and 5422CB...

Purple acid phosphatases (PAPs) are multifunctional proteins implicated in various aspects of plant biology, including flowering, seed development, senescence, carbon metabolism, and the response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Although PAPs have bee...

Climate change and the increasing demand for food necessitate innovative agricultural methods. Relay intercropping, where one crop is sown into another already-grown crop, offers a promising alternative to traditional systems. In the 2021/22 and 2022...

Smart farms are crucial in modern agriculture, but current object detection algorithms cannot detect chili Phytophthora blight accurately. To solve this, we introduced the YOLOv8-GDCI model, which can detect the disease on leaves, fruits, and stem bi...

The genetic basis controlling the content of two essential amino acids (isoleucine and leucine) in rapeseed meal was investigated through a replicated trial of the two BC1F1 populations from a two-way backcross between 202 TN DH population strains an...

To investigate the precise and efficient symbiosis between Sinorhizobium meliloti LL2 and different alfalfa varieties, we conducted experiments using eight alfalfa varieties along with the S. meliloti LL2. Our objective was to identify highly effecti...

Phosphorus (P) is critical for maximizing agricultural production and represents an appreciable input cost. Geologic sources of P that are most easily mined are a finite resource, while P transported from agricultural land to surface waters contribut...

Cocoa tree genotypes (Theobroma cacao L.) were studied and characterized in terms of their morphoanatomical and physiological attributes in a non-stressful environment, as these attributes are of fundamental importance to understanding the plant&rsqu...
