Native genotypes of fruit species are an important source of phenotypic variability for breeding and provide valuable material for the creation of new cultivars. Therefore, the present study was conducted to characterize and decipher the phenotypic v...

Anthracnose is recognized as a significant agricultural disease. This study investigates the disease symptoms characterized by black dots on walnut fruits observed in the walnut orchards of Longnan City, Gansu Province, China, in June 2022. These sym...

Organic agriculture has few tools against pests and diseases and is constantly looking for effective and sustainable products such as geomaterials, i.e., zeolite. This study evaluates the physiological and morphological responses of olive plants (Ole...

Accelerated urbanization has intensified nitrogen deposition and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution. While urban landscape plants play a vital role in atmospheric remediation, systematic exploration of their adaptation strategies to these dual...

Analyzing the transmission dynamics of airborne disease spores is crucial for advancing early warning and control strategies for crop diseases. This study introduces a novel approach utilizing the HYSPLIT-5 model to investigate the spore transmission...

Calcium (Ca2+) plays a fundamental role in metabolic processes, and it is involved in several structural functions at the cell level, such as vacuole osmotic regulation, cell wall strengthening, and plasma membrane stability, as well as acting as a s...

This study investigated the extraction and quantification of specific phenolic compounds, including chlorogenic acid and several pyranocoumarin derivatives, from the leaves and roots of Peucedanum japonicum. Using high-performance liquid chromatograp...

Zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) is a crop of global economic importance. Therefore, there has been a continuous search for alternative cultivation methods that contribute to improving its growth and development. In the context of sustainable agriculture...

The drip emitter is a fundamental component of the drip irrigation system, and its performance directly influences the efficiency of water–fertilizer–gas (WFG) coupling irrigation. However, the precise mechanism through which WFG coupling...

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) involves the formation of embryo-like structures from somatic cells without fertilization and is widely used for clonal propagation and genetic transformation. However, in olive (Olea europaea sp. europaea), SE remains chal...
