Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are essential for identifying genomic regions associated with agronomic traits, but Linear Mixed Model (LMM)-based GWAS face challenges in capturing complex gene interactions. This study explores the potential o...

Speed breeding technologies offer a promising avenue for accelerating crop improvement, yet their application to biennial crops like sugar beet remains constrained by extended generation cycles. This study examined the effects of supplemental phospho...

Systems favoring cross-pollination, such as male sterility and female flowering type, are of great importance in the development of new hybrid cultivars and their seed production. The advantages of male sterility are expressed in the production of ch...

Purple corn (Zea mays L.) is a nutraceutical crop of increasing economic importance in Peru, yet its productivity is highly influenced by genotype × environment (G × E) interactions across heterogeneous agro-ecological zones. Therefore, s...

The increasing environmental challenges facing modern agriculture necessitate development of sustainable, eco-friendly alternatives to chemical inputs. This study aimed to isolate and characterize rhizophilic bacterial strains from the rhizosphere of...

(1) Background: In the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Cameroon, which is affected by drought and forest decline, Vachellia nilotica leaves and seeds are fodder for livestock. (2) Methods: A provenance and progeny study on growth performance and heritability...

Preserving Peruvian cacao germplasm requires preventing the spread of pathogens such as viruses, yet cacao viral diseases in Peru remain poorly studied. In this study, we characterized the viral sequences associated with native cacao trees from the d...

The tea plant (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) is a globally important crop, yet its cultivation is continually challenged by a range of viral pathogens that can compromise plant health and product quality. In this study, eighteen symptomatic leave...

Zingeria biebersteiniana, a grass species with the lowest known chromosome number among angiosperms (2n = 2x = 4), offers a distinctive platform for cytogenetic and grass research. Despite its unique karyotype and potential for molecular and educatio...

Commiphora leptophloeos, a native Caatinga species with economic and medicinal potential, faces propagation challenges due to seed dormancy and extractive use. The germination test, the official method for seed quality assessment, is time-consuming,...
