Continuous cropping in greenhouse cultivation often leads to increased pest and disease problems, reducing crop quality and yield. Crop rotation is a common strategy to address these issues. This study compared the growth of Chinese cabbage (Brassica r…
Peach gummosis, a devastating disease caused by Neofusicoccum parvum, significantly shortens peach tree lifespan and reduces the yield of peach trees. Despite its impact, the molecular mechanism underlying this disease remains largely unexplored. In th…
Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are molecular chaperones that are widely present in plants and play a vital role in the response of plants to various environmental stimuli. This study employed transgenic Arabidopsis to investigate the impact of the n…
In wine grape, the multi-functional cytochrome P450 enzyme VvCYP76F14 sequentially catalyzes the formation of linalool-derived compounds, including (E)-8-hydroxylinalool, (E)-8-oxolinalool, and (E)-8-carboxylinalool, which are crucial precursors for th…
Bioregenerative food systems that routinely produce fresh, safe-to-eat crops onboard spacecraft can supplement the nutrition and variety of shelf-stable spaceflight food systems for use during future exploration missions (i.e., low earth orbit, Mars tr…
The duration of flowering and maturity is an important agricultural trait determining the suitability of a variety for cultivation in the target region. In the present study, we used genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) to search for loci associated…
IntroductionDue to limited arable land resources, intercropping has emerged as an efficient and sustainable production method for increasing total grain yield per unit land area. Maize–soybean strip intercropping (MSSI) technology is being widely promo…
Exploring how environmental changes induce alterations in the phenology matching between plants and pollinators is significant for predicting species’ reproductive output and population dynamics. Our study focused on the invasive poisonous weed Steller…
Limited research in Saudi Arabia has devolved into the prevalence and genetic diversity of begomoviruses. Utilizing Illumina MiSeq sequencing, we obtained 21 full-length begomovirus sequences (2.7–2.8 kb) from eight cucumber plants grown in fields and …
Protein elicitors can induce plant systemic resistance to pathogens. The recognition of a potential elicitor activates intracellular signaling events, leading to plant resistance against pathogens. In this study, a novel protein elicitor was isolated f…
