Field‐grown coastal dune plants exhibit similar survival, growth, and biomass in recycled glass substrate and natural beach sand

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...

Combining ability and heritability analysis of sweetpotato weevil resistance, root yield, and dry matter content in sweetpotato

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Efficient breeding and selection of superior genotypes requires a comprehensive understanding of the genetics of traits. This study was aimed at establishing the general combining ability (GCA), specific combining ability (SCA), and heritability of ...

Genome Editing in Root and Tuber Crop Development in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Precision genome editing, particularly using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9), is advancing crop improvement by enabling targeted and efficient genetic modifications. Root and tuber crops such as potato, cassava, sweet potato, and yam are vital for global food and nutritional

Aspects of vine weeds and the challenges for their control in the sugar cane fields of Mauritius [PDF]

, 2013
Vine weeds are creeping, climbing and twining plant species that depend on neighbouring plants and objects for their support and development. They have an extensive type of growth, making them fundamentally different from classical weeds which are ...

Irrigation using slightly saline water from emerging desalination technologies as a solution to short‐term drought

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 831-842, May 2026.
With global weather patterns becoming more extreme and unpredictable, sourcing reliable irrigation water is vital for improving food security and conserving drinking water in drought‐prone areas. Emerging desalination technologies, which are still in the development phase, could potentially provide large quantities of slightly saline water for ...

WRKY Transcription Factors: Integral Regulators of Defence Responses to Biotic Stress in Crops

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2939-2955, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Crops are continually challenged by biotic stresses, including fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens and insect pests, which cause substantial yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors constitute a plant‐specific and functionally diverse family that is central to immune regulation.
