Synergistic effects of maize defoliation and common bean relay cropping in Western Ethiopia

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Maize defoliation is practiced to enhance crop management by improving light penetration, nutrient allocation, controlling weeds, and providing supplementary feeds for livestock. A rapid decline in soil fertility and low crop yields associated with maize‐based monocropping has prompted the recent introduction of maize common bean ...

Screening Maize Cultivars Enables Concurrent Safe Crop Production and Phytoremediation of Cd‐Contaminated Agricultural Soil: A Field Experiment

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventional management of heavy metal contaminated soil faces a dual challenge. Safe utilization maintains agricultural production without removing pollutants, whereas phytoremediation cleans the soil but cannot guarantee the planted crop safety.

Straw Return Combined With Nitrogen Fertilizer Application Improve Nitrogen Utilization Efficiency by Regulating Soil Physical and Chemical Properties in Spring Maize

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Straw return (SR) and controlled‐release nitrogen fertilizers application can improve soil structure, enhance soil water retention, and promote crop growth. However, the mechanisms through which SR and controlled‐release nitrogen fertilizers application jointly modulate soil physical and chemical properties remain unclear.

Influence of quality traits on green cob yield in hybrids of sweet corn (Zea mays L. saccharata)

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2017
Seventy two sweet corn hybrids developed from eighteen sweet corn lines were studied for association between green cob yield and quality traits. The genotypic correlations revealed that the green cob yield had highest positive and significant correlation

The Microbiome as a Mirror: Distinguishing Healthy Individuals From Chronic Constipated Patients and Identifying Those With Hidden Psychiatric Burden

Microbiota Medicine Research, EarlyView.
Gut microbiota signatures distinguish chronic constipated patients from healthy individuals, supporting noninvasive diagnostic potential. Despite challenges in identifying psychiatric‐related comorbidities, microbial alterations, particularly in neurotransmitter and inflammatory pathways, lay the groundwork for future companion diagnostics and ...

Exploring biofiber properties and their influence on biocomposite tensile properties

Polymer International, EarlyView.
The study measured the physical, flow and chemical properties of 10 biofibers. It characterized the tensile properties of derived biocomposites and linked them using regression models, showing robust predictive performance. Abstract Biofibers serve as effective reinforcements for neat polylactic acid (PLA) in biocomposites, offering an attractive ...

Single and dual RPA‐CRISPR/Cas assays for point‐of‐need detection of Stewart's wilt pathogen (Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii) of corn and Maize dwarf mosaic virus

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1988-1999, April 2025.
Schematic diagram of the single and dual RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a/13a diagnostic assays for the detection of Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii and Maize dwarf mosaic virus. The validated assays provide a useful and sensitive molecular tool for detecting two quarantine pathogens of maize within a minimal resource framework suitable for fast‐tracking the ...
