Light serves as the unique driving force of photosynthesis in plants, yet its intensity varies over time and space, leading to corresponding changes in the photosynthetic rate. Here, the photosynthetic induction response under constant and fluctuatin...

Studying climate change’s impact on vegetation canopy growth and senescence is significant for understanding and predicting vegetation dynamics. However, there is a lack of adequate research on canopy changes across the lifecycles of different...

Traditional maize possesses low concentrations of provitamin-A and vitamin-E, leading to various health concerns. Mutant alleles of crtRB1 and vte4 that enhance β-carotene (provitamin-A) and α-tocopherol (vitamin-E), respectively, in maize...

Soil amendments combined with low cadmium (Cd)-accumulating crops are commonly used for remediating Cd contamination and ensuring food safety. However, the combined effects of soil amendments and the cultivation of faba beans (Vicia faba L.)—kn...

Although epiphytes and lianas share the same habitat, most research has treated these two groups independently. This study aimed to evaluate the co-occurrence of vascular epiphytes and lianas in the subtropical montane forests of northwestern Argenti...

To ensure food and feed security, modern maize hybrids must not only perform well under changing climate conditions but also consistently achieve higher and stable yields, exhibit maximum tolerance to stress factors, and produce high quality grains....

Supplementation with far-red light in controlled environment agriculture production can enhance yield by triggering the shade avoidance syndrome. However, the effectiveness of this yield enhancement can be further improved through intermittent far-re...

Grapevines are subjected to many physiological and environmental stresses that influence their vegetative and reproductive growth. Water stress, cold damage, and pathogen attacks are highly relevant stresses in many grape-growing regions. Precision v...

Rice is exposed to attacks by the three most destructive pathogens, Magnaporthe oryzae (M. oryzae), Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), and Rhizoctonia solani (R. solani), which cause substantial yield losses and severely threaten food security. To...

Based on field observation at the north coast of the Zhanjiang Bay in southern China, the characteristics of wave attenuation due to the drag force of one mangrove species, Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Viern., were quantitatively analyzed. The results d...
