The Landscape of Long Non‐Coding RNAs Provides Insights Into the Domestication and Improvement of Pear Fruit

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that long non‐coding RNAs represent important regulatory components underlying pear domestication and improvement. Integrative multi‐omics analyses identify selected lncRNAs associated with fruit traits, while functional validation uncovers a lignin‐related lncRNA, lncRNA‐pys, that promotes lignin accumulation.

Conditionally Significant eQTL and TWAS Analyses Identify MsRD26 as a Major Candidate Positive Regulator of Salt Tolerance in Medicago sativa L

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Salt stress significantly impacts plant growth. Through population transcriptome, eQTL and TWAS analyses, we identified several candidate genes potentially associated with salt stress response. Functional assays suggested that some of these genes may contribute to salt tolerance.

Aflatoxin B1 occurrence and risk estimation to human health associated with agricultural practices in peanut production systems

Food Safety and Risk
Aflatoxin contamination in peanuts is a significant health risk to consumers due to its carcinogenic nature. In this study, the concentration of Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in peanut kernels and the associated risk of hepatocarcinoma were evaluated across ...

What Does Undergraduate Enrollment in Soil and Crop Sciences Mean for the Future of Agronomy?

Agronomy Journal, 2007
Soil and crop science programs at land‐grant colleges have historically relied on appropriated funding from state and federal sources and tuition to support the tripartite mission of research, extension, and teaching. However, due to declining funding from state and federal sources, tuition and fees are becoming increasingly important sources.

Drought Stress Mediated Changes in Food Crops: Mechanisms and Remediation Strategies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a multi‐scale framework for flavonoid‐mediated drought tolerance in staple food crops, integrating ROS redox regulation, antioxidant defense, rhizosphere microbial interactions, and sustainable agronomic practices. This interdisciplinary model provides core insights to develop climate‐resilient cropping systems and enhance global ...

Comparing the reliability of maize variety data from on-farm trials and experimental stations

Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2014
While current variety recommendations are based on replicated small-plot trials in a specific region for which the trial is thought to be representative, genotype × envi­ronment interactions, genotype × management interactions, and increasing weather ...

Influence of tillage and cropping systems based on plants cover (Arachis glabrata and Bracharia ruziziensis) on performance of maize and soil properties in the Western Highland agro-ecological zone of Cameroon

Open Agriculture
A study was conducted at the University of Dschang’s Application and Research Farm to evaluate the impact of three types of tillage combined with sole and intercropped systems on maize production and soil properties.

The Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase GhNTF3 Modulates the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis‐Immunity Trade‐Off in Cotton by Regulating Salicylic Acid Biosynthesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
AM symbiosis induces GhWAK13 to promote fungal colonization. GhNTF3 negatively regulates symbiosis by promoting SA biosynthesis. GhWAK13 sequesters GhNTF3 at the membrane, limiting its nuclear translocation and relieving SA‐mediated suppression. Under Verticillium stress, GhNTF3 enters the nucleus and interacts with GhJAZ6 to activate SA signaling ...

Molecular Bases and Genetic Design of Rice Disease Resistance for Optimized Yield and Sustainable Agriculture

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study integrates rice immune perception, signal transduction, and resistance output into a multi‐omics framework. By combining high‐throughput sequencing, phenomics, and AI‐assisted design with marker‐assisted selection, gene editing, and rapid domestication, we aim to accelerate the precise breeding of disease‐resistant rice varieties by ...
