An Overview of Foodborne Risks in Afghanistan

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Foodborne diseases represent a serious yet underrecognized public health burden in Afghanistan, a country shaped by decades of conflict, weak infrastructure, and limited regulatory capacity. This article provides a comprehensive overview of major foodborne risks in the country, including microbiological hazards, chemical contaminants, and ...

Optimization of moisture content and application rate of hay preservative during high‐moisture alfalfa hay baling in northwestern China

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Leaf shatter during low‐moisture baling and mold proliferation under high‐moisture conditions pose major challenges in alfalfa hay production. A proprietary propionic acid‐based hay preservative product, LZP, effectively inhibits microbial reproduction in high‐moisture alfalfa bales; however, its optimal moisture thresholds and ...

The effect of awns on seed yield and germination characteristics in Elymus nutans Griseb.

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
The effect of awns on seed yield. Three‐year field trials demonstrated that awns significantly regulate seed yield components and germination characteristics of Elymus nutans Griseb, laying a theoretical foundation for the breeding of high‐yielding forage varieties and seed production.

Disturbance from restoration reseeding is associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss and alters soil bacterial communities and functions in degraded alpine meadows of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Restoration reseeding of degraded alpine meadows increased aboveground vegetation but was associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss, coinciding with a microbial strategy shift from resident carbon‐preserving to carbon‐spending bacterial guilds. Abstract Background Restoration of degraded ecosystems is widely promoted as a nature‐based solution ...

Simultaneous 3/4‐power scaling of leaf mass and 2/3‐power scaling of leaf area with stem mass in plants

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Plant allometry theory developed in the last century focused on 2/3‐power scaling, determined by light interception considerations. More recently, 3/4‐power scaling based on the properties of vascular distribution networks has been proposed.

Genome‐wide identification of the bZIP transcription factor family in sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) and expression profiles in response to aluminum stress

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Sainfoin is an important forage legume with potential for cultivation in stressful environments, but its molecular response to aluminum toxicity remains unclear. This study identified 236 basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor genes in sainfoin and analyzed their evolutionary features and regulatory potential.
