Tree Cultivation in Hydroponic Systems: Effects of Substrate Type and Electrical Conductivity on Nutrient Status and Growth in Soilless Fig Tree

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
The fig tree has traditionally been cultivated in open fields for its fruit. However, recent advancements have enabled the cultivation of fruit trees in greenhouses. This study investigates the effects of hydroponic cultivation of fig trees, focusing on growth parameters and nutritional status under two substrates, coconut coir and pumice, and three ...

Optimization of carbon and nitrogen utilization for enhanced photosynthesis, biomass and yield by coexpression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, aspartate aminotransferase and glutamine synthetase in Brassica juncea

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1110-1132, March 2026.
Summary Coexpression of genes involved in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism offers a promising avenue for improving crop yield. This study investigated the impact of coexpressing phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase [ZmPEPC (P)], aspartate aminotransferase [GmAspAT (A)] and glutamine synthetase [NtGS (G)] in Brassica juncea to enhance plant yield ...

Nutrient landscape of a cricket nymph: How dietary protein and carbohydrate shape intake, performance, and body composition in the two‐spotted cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 178-192, March 2026.
Survival of Gryllus bimaculatus nymphs was highest on protein‐biased diets (P:C = 3.86:1), whereas growth and body mass were maximized on slightly carbohydrate‐biased diets (P:C = 1:1.47). Maximum body protein and lipid contents were attained at P:C ratios of 1.14:1 and 1:5.56, respectively. When given a food choice, G. bimaculatus nymphs self‐selected

Synergistic effects of vermicompost and biochar amendments on cherry tomato production in an urban rooftop garden: A 2‐year study

Urban Agriculture &Regional Food Systems, Volume 11, Issue 1, 2026.
Abstract Urban agriculture has emerged as a practical strategy to strengthen local food systems in cities with limited land availability. Rooftop gardening, in particular, offers opportunities for fresh vegetable production, but the sustainability of this practice depends heavily on soil media preparation.

Evaluation of Cement Brick with Cocopeat as Partial Replacement of Sand

Indonesian Journal of Computing, Engineering, and Design (IJoCED)
The rising population has fueled construction growth, increasing the demand for bricks and raising concerns about the depletion of raw materials, especially sand. To address this, research was carried out to investigate the utilization of cocopeat (CCP) as a partial sand replacement in the construction industry.

Cryptic signals: substomatal architecture influences stomatal responses to red light and CO2

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 181-188, January 2026.
Summary The mesophyll provides a critical signal for stomatal responses to red light (RL) and CO2 in angiosperms. By contrast, the stomatal response to blue light (BL) is largely guard cell‐specific. It is not known whether substomatal or mesophyll anatomy influences the effectiveness of the mesophyll signal driving stomatal responses to RL and CO2 ...
