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.

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.

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.

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
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
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
