The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is highly dependent on water availability, with physiological sensitivity varying throughout its phenological cycle. In the context of increasing water scarcity and greater climate variability, identifying critical p...

DNA methylation is a conserved and vital epigenetic modification that plays essential roles in plant growth, development, and responses to environmental stress. Cytosine-5 DNA methyltransferases (C5-MTases) and DNA demethylases (dMTases) are key regu...

Sarcomphalus joazeiro (Mart.) is a promising candidate for the formulation of new therapies against parasitic infections. This study aimed to quantify the content of phenolic compounds and evaluate the antioxidant, antileishmanial, and cytotoxic pote...

Crop productivity is severely constrained by abiotic and biotic stresses, necessitating innovative strategies to enhance stress resilience. Glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) is a central metabolite in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, playing crucial roles...

Seed deterioration is an inevitable process during storage, characterized by a gradual loss of germination capacity and eventual seed death, which poses challenges to seed longevity and the preservation of genetic resources. Understanding the molecul...

Urban forests are remnants of forest habitats within urban areas. Their structural alterations create stressful microclimatic conditions that can influence the morphology of sensitive plants, such as ferns. This study analyzed variations in the morph...

Mandarin fruit detection provides crucial technical support for yield prediction and the precise identification and harvesting of mandarin fruits. However, challenges such as occlusion from leaves or branches, the presence of small or partially visib...

Seed quality traits, such as seed size, oil and protein content, mineral accumulation, and morphological characteristics, are crucial for enhancing crop productivity, nutritional value, and marketability. Traditional quantitative trait loci (QTL) map...

High grain quality is a key target in wheat breeding and is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. This study evaluated 94 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from a Pamyati Azieva × Paragon (PA × P) mapping population grown in two...

Drought stress is one of the main factors limiting seed germination and seedling establishment in field crops such as jalapeño peppers (Capsicum annuum L.). Nanopriming, a seed improvement technique using nanoparticle suspensions, has emerged...
