The genus Allium L. includes economically significant crops such as Chinese chives (Allium tuberosum Rottler ex Spreng.) and onions (Allium cepa L.), and is utilized in diverse agricultural applications, with numerous cultivars developed to date. How...

This study aimed to elucidate the genetic variation patterns of hybrid larch during generational transitions, providing a theoretical basis for targeted genetic improvement and advanced hybrid breeding of pulpwood. Seven hybrid larch families and the...

For centuries, plants have been central in human medicine, food/nutrition, and culture [...]

Sunflower seeds have been reported to be a healthy natural source of polyphenols. This study aimed to explore the mechanisms of potential compounds in sunflower seed extract involved in wound healing; major compounds were investigated through network...

Understanding the community assembly mechanisms and stability of artificial sand-fixing forests is critical for the management of desert ecosystems. This study investigated the understory vegetation of four artificial sand-fixing shrub forests in the...

Polystigma amygdalinum the causal agent of Red Leaf Blotch (RLB), is responsible for one of the most important foliar diseases affecting almond [Prunus dulcis (Miller) D.A. Webb] in the Mediterranean Basin and the Middle East. The study is aimed at i...

Peaches are a fruit crop with global importance due to their economic value. Fruit quality (e.g., weight, soluble solids content (SSC)) and phenology traits (e.g., maturity date) are essential for generating novel varieties. Nevertheless, modern germ...

The typification of five names in the genus Olea (Oleaceae), viz. O. europaea subsp. cerasiformis, O. europaea var. maderensis, O. cuspidata, O. laperrinei, and O. sylvestris is discussed. These taxa are currently classified within O. europaea at the...

Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized through biologically mediated reduction of metal ions using biomolecules derived from microorganisms, algae, or plants are attracting growing attention in plant biotechnology due to their multifun...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of stress attenuators on the tolerance and antioxidant activity of watermelon cultivars under water deficit. The experiment was conducted in two stages, Stage I corresponding to water deficit levels (N1 = 0; N2...
