Perceptions of the ‘good farmer’ and social licence to operate in Aotearoa New Zealand
Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1589-1609, December 2025.ABSTRACT Over the past 50 years, farming practices and public perceptions of farming in Aotearoa New Zealand (AoNZ) have changed substantially. These changes raise questions over the future relationship between farming communities and the public. Recent research challenges the assumption that perceptions of farming differ significantly between farmers ...

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 42, November 13, 2025.Marker metabolite‐based multi‐omics (genome, transcriptome, and metabolome) analysis is conducted firstly to unravel the genetic basis of thousand seed weight (TSW) in Brassica napus. The released metabolite‐QTL‐gene network represents a valuable genetic resource, and the newly validated BnaTGA6 is a promising target for the improvement of TSW in ...

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.Abstract Host resistance, using qualitative genes with major effects, such as resistance (R) genes, is one of the most effective disease control strategies. However, because major gene‐derived resistance wanes over time, breeders must increasingly focus on quantitative trait loci and minor effect genes, which, when pyramided together, can confer ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Tide‐topography interactions, key drivers of upwelling and mixing, remain poorly understood within the Cape Verde area (CVA) and the Senegalo‐Mauritanian upwelling regions. Therefore, a three‐dimensional numerical model, initialized with horizontally uniform stratification and driven by barotropic tidal forcing only, is employed to study the ...

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2025.ABSTRACT Sclerotinia Stem Rot (SSR) disease is one of the most serious diseases affecting the yield and quality of oilseed rape (Brassica napus). Understanding the genetic basis of the resistance trait in oilseed rape to SSR and microbiome composition for enhanced resistance is crucial for developing resistant varieties and sustainably mitigating the ...

Predicting rainfall kinetic energy under forest canopies—A pilot study using ULS
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 11, 15 September 2025.We applied the vegetation splash factor to predict the effect of vegetation on kinetic energy of rainfall and validated it with field data for the first time. Abstract Rainfall erosivity, expressed in kinetic energy, is determined by intensity, velocity and drop size distribution. In natural precipitation, these properties vary and can be substantially

Evaluation of Governance Sustainability of Bulgarian Agriculture
Social Science Research Network, 2020 A need to include “the fourth” Governance pillar in the concept for understanding and the assessment system of (overall and) agrarian sustainability is increasingly justified in academic literature and finds place in the frameworks of government ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 9, Page 3934-3948, September 2025.Summary Seed weight (SW), which is directly influenced by silique length (SL), is a critical agronomic trait significantly affecting both the quality and yield of rapeseed. In this study, a shorter silique length (ssl) mutant was generated through ethyl methane sulfonate mutagenesis, exhibiting reduced SL and SW compared to the wild type.

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 39, Issue 16, 30 August 2025.ABSTRACT Rationale We describe a new simplified sample preparation technique, based on dual chromatography for the analysis of 87Sr/86Sr in liquid agri‐food samples. We applied this approach for authenticating the origin of maple syrup products in Quebec, characterizing the 87Sr/86Sr of soil profiles from geologically distinct maple groves, including ...

Land Use and Season Interactively Affect Honeybee (Apis mellifera) Body Size and Fat Stores
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.Habitat fragmentation and loss due to anthropogenic activities have impacted the foraging success of many animals, including pollinators. In this study, we found that summer honeybees in urban and mixed habitats were smaller and had greater wing wear but had larger fat stores compared to those in agricultural areas, where fat stores dropped during the ...
