Non‐coding RNAs in plant stress responses: molecular insights and agricultural applications

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 3195-3233, August 2025.
Summary Non‐coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators in plant responses to environmental stress, orchestrating complex networks that finetune gene expression under both abiotic and biotic challenges. To elucidate this intricate ncRNA crosstalk, this review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of key ...

Biopolymer Electrolyte Based on Derivatives of Cellulose from Kenaf Bast Fiber [PDF]

Polymers, 2014
A cellulose derivative, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), was synthesized by the reaction of cellulose from kenaf bast fiber with monochloroacetic acid. A series of biopolymer electrolytes comprised of the synthesized CMC and ammonium acetate (CH3COONH4) were prepared by the solution-casting technique.

Integrated Pest Management in Pigeonpea: Progress and Prospects

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 661-681, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Pigeonpea is one of the world's most important grain legume crops. Mostly grown and consumed in India, where it is a staple food, pigeonpea production also occurs elsewhere in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Australia. Despite widespread cultivation and staple food status, pigeonpea yields have barely increased over the last half century.

Artificial Intelligence‐Driven Prediction and Optimization of Tensile and Impact Strength in Natural Fiber/Aluminum Oxide Polymer Nanocomposites

Engineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2025.
This study examines hybrid composites reinforced with jute, kenaf, and glass fibers, with Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) as a filler. The effects of fiber orientation, sequence, and Al2O3 content on tensile and impact strength were analyzed. ANN outperformed RSM in predictive accuracy, identifying optimal parameters: 90° fiber orientation, three layers, and 5%
