Characterization of fatty acid desaturase gene family in Glycine max and their expression patterns in seeds after Fusarium fujikuroi infection

Frontiers in Plant Science
BackgroundThe family of membrane-bound fatty acid desaturase (FAD) genes play a vital role in plant growth, development, and stress responses. The seed-borne pathogen Fusarium fujikuroi causes seed decay disease during pre-harvest and post-harvest stages

Effect of Farm-Level Constraints, Existing and Prospective Policies on Expansion of Coconut-Based Intercropping in Sri Lanka [PDF]

Coconut-based intercropping (CBI) in Sri Lanka was introduced some 20 years ago to overcome the two main limitations of traditional coconut monocropping, inefficient land use and low incomes to farmers, but it has not been widely adopted.

Management and incipient domestication of Chamaedorea tepejilote in agroforestry systems in Mexico

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Native wild plants are key elements in addressing global biodiversity loss and supporting sustainable food systems. We investigated how rural communities in Mexico manage Chamaedorea tepejilote, a wild palm with edible male inflorescences, by combining ethnobotanical, genetic, morphological and ecological approaches.

Delayed photosynthesis response causes carbon assimilation reduction in soybean under fluctuating light

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Plants encounter dynamic light environments in natural field conditions, and species differ in their physiological and biochemical mechanisms for acclimating to fluctuating light (FL).

Plant species are more important to bacterial community composition than seeding ratio in a pea‐canola intercropping system

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Demand for agricultural land has increased due to rising demand for food, potentially leading to expansion into previously untouched habitats, which threatens refugia of native plants. We aimed to provide insight into how variation in seeding ratio may impact soil bacterial communities in a pea‐canola intercropping system, potentially altering crop ...

Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) in Nigeria: Regional cultivation patterns, landrace diversity, and farmer knowledge for conserving a climate‐resilient indigenous cereal

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) cereals are valued for their drought resilience, adaptability to poor soils, and cultural importance. In Nigeria, where both species are cultivated, fonio has declined due to labor‐intensive processing, lower yields, and changing livelihood choices. By documenting 21 landraces (15 D. exilis and 6 D. iburua),

Light energy utilization and measurement methods in crop production

Crop and Environment
Efficient solar energy utilization is a crucial determinant of crop yield formation. Moreover, various planting methods have dissimilar impacts on crop solar energy utilization and its measurement methods.

Climate‐smart land management: Greenhouse gas outcomes and social and economic pathways to adoption

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to natural and working lands, reducing the resilience of agricultural and forest productivity. Because land management is a leading source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate‐smart management practices are being implemented to reduce net emissions while sustaining yields.

Combined effects of canola plant density and insecticide management strategies on flea beetle abundance, canola defoliation, and yield across the Canadian prairies

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Increasing canola plant density reduced flea beetle abundance per plant and increased yield, independent of region or insecticide use, highlighting its potential as a component of integrated pest management. Abstract The crucifer flea beetle, Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze), and the striped flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolata (Fabricius) (Coleoptera ...
