Soyasaponin and vertical microbial transmission: Maternal effect on the intestinal development and health of early chicks

open access: yesiMeta, EarlyView.
This study investigates the vertical transmission of maternal microbiota in chickens and how it is modulated by maternal soyasaponin supplementation. Using a model spanning the reproductive tract, egg components, and developing chicks, we show that maternal gut and reproductive microbiota, including Bifidobacterium adolescentis (B.

Uncertain multi‐objective programming approach for planning supplementary irrigation areas in rainfed agricultural regions

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
Abstract Rainfed agriculture is crucial for ensuring global food and water security, and supplementary irrigation is an effective means of improving the economic benefits in rainfed agricultural regions. This study proposes a novel uncertain optimization approach to optimize supplementary irrigation areas in rainfed agricultural regions.

Modelling of Cowpea Response to Varying Irrigation and SAP Levels Under Greenhouse Conditions Using AquaCrop

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Irrigation water management is key to promoting resilient crop production amidst the increasing effects of climate change. Super absorbent polymer (SAP) is an innovative technology for conserving irrigation water within arid and semi‐arid lands (ASALs). AquaCrop, a water productivity model, has been used for irrigation water management.

Reference Intervals of Hematological Parameters Among Healthy Adults in Northern Sudan: A Community‐Based Cross‐Sectional Study

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Two hundred fifty‐three adults were enrolled in a cross‐sectional study conducted in Northern Sudan. The RVs of hemoglobin 9.71–16.10 g/dL, red blood cells (RBC) 3.66–5.79 × 106/mm3, hematocrit (HCT) 28.02%–46.75%, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) 64.02–95.65 fL, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) 21.57–33.80 pg, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration ...

From shake flasks to a bench‐scale bioreactor: scaling up exopolysaccharide production in fed‐batch cultivation of Ensifer meliloti SEMIA 135

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study investigates the production scale‐up of exopolysaccharide (EPS) by Ensifer meliloti SEMIA 135 from shake flasks to a 5 L bench‐scale fed‐batch bioreactor. Soybean molasses was the cost‐effective nutrient source. The primary aim was to improve conditions for maximizing EPS yield and minimizing production costs.

Comparative studies on ENOD40 in legumes and non-legumes

open access: yes
Plants, unlike animals, continue to form organs after the completion of embryogenesis. This continuous formation of new organs allows plants to be flexible in a constantly changing environment. A unique example of adaptation to an environmental signal can be found among members of the family of Leguminosae . Legumes can enter a symbiosis with Rhizobium

Phosphorus lability across diverse agricultural contexts with legacy sources

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract The buffering of phosphorus (P) in the landscape delays management outcomes for water quality. If stored in labile form (readily exchangeable and bioavailable), P may readily pollute waters. We studied labile P and its intensity for >600 soils and sediments across seven study locations in the United States. Stocks of labile P were large enough
