Disease-suppressive soils confer fitness advantages to plants after a disease outbreak due to the subsequent assembly of protective microbiota in natural environments. However, the role of ecological effects on the assemblage of a protective soil mic...

A bench test apparatus was developed to address the impact of varying terrain undulation on sowing depth in multi-row wheat sowing machines. In addition, a real-time sowing depth control model was proposed and implemented, enabling automatic adjustme...

Short fruiting branch cotton (SFBC) has a compact plant architecture suitable for dense planting. Plant population density (PPD) and topping are important agronomic practices to achieve high yielding by optimizing cotton plant structure. However, the...

Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is a cornerstone forage species in temperate dairy systems worldwide, valued for its high yield potential, nutritive quality, and grazing recovery. However, current regional evaluation systems face challenges in...

Cadmium (Cd) contamination in agricultural soils severely threatens rice production and food safety. To address this issue, this study developed transgenic rice lines co-expressing three Vitis vinifera genes: the ABCC transporter Vvmrp1 and metalloth...

Raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) is a high-value horticultural crop recognized for its significant economic importance and exceptional nutritional profile. We analyzed 76 raspberry accessions (wild and cultivar) using simple sequence repeat (SSR) and sequ...

Land-based bioenergy systems are increasingly promoted for their potential to support climate change mitigation and energy security. Building on previous productivity and efficiency analyses, this study applies the MiscanFor and SalixFor models to ev...

Plant tissue culture has been recognized as an essential technology in plant science research. This process is widely used to regenerate and conserve phenotypically and genetically identical plant resources. The advancements in tissue culture methods...

Despite the essential role of phosphorus (P) in rice growth, P-use efficiency (PUE) remains low due to limited bioavailable P in soils and an over-reliance on chemical fertilizers, leading to resource waste and environmental risks, such as eutrophica...

Accurately extracting large-scale apple orchards from remote sensing imagery is of importance for orchard management. Most studies lack large-scale, high-resolution apple orchard maps due to sparse orchard distribution and similar crops, making mappi...
