Prevalence, Antimicrobial Susceptibility, and Hygienic Practices of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Raw Meat, Bahir Dar City, Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Escherichia coli O157:H7 was detected in 28.4% of raw meat samples from Bahir Dar City, with 47.6% of isolates carrying at least one stx1 or eaeA virulence gene. Poor hygiene practices and antimicrobial resistance highlight the need for strengthened meat safety surveillance and intervention. ABSTRACT Introduction Escherichia coli O157: H7 is a globally

Spatial Spillovers and Green Growth: Decoding Environment‐Adjusted Agricultural Productivity Dynamics

Agricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper develops a novel production function framework that accounts for spatial spillovers in environment‐adjusted agricultural productivity and its components, namely technical change, scale efficiency change and environmental efficiency change, in a single‐stage setting, with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions incorporated as an undesirable ...

Trend analysis of pests and diseases complex in Bt cotton

Journal of Crop Protection, 2015
The significant reduction of bollworm infestation by the implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in Bt Cotton as a component of IPM led to reduction in bollworm infestation and increase in yield. However, these alterations have brought in many

Optimizing the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) protein concentration in cotton: Coordinated application of exogenous amino acids and EDTA to reduce spatiotemporal variability in boll and leaf toxins

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
During the boll formation stage, cotton bolls exhibit the lowest expression of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) insecticidal proteins. Resistance to insects varies notably among different organs, which poses challenges for controlling cotton bollworms ...

Revisiting the Molecular Roadmap for Sugar Crops: Genome Reading, Trait Writing and Variety Redesigning

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 9, Page 5013-5040, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

Integrated Multi‐Omic Analyses Uncover a Regulatory Link Between Photosynthesis and Drought Tolerance in Field‐Grown Sorghum

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 6748-6764, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Global warming and increasing water scarcity pose major challenges to agriculture, emphasising the need to translate stress‐biology insights into the development of drought‐resilient cultivars. In this study, we evaluated a panel of six diverse sorghum (Sorghum bicolour) accessions grown under field‐imposed drought conditions in central ...
