Yield data are already collected by many grain, and oilseed growers, and provide a transparent, evidence‐based way to optimise and report on fertiliser application at fine scale. Yield data can help to maintain soil health and farm profit, reduce environmental damage and generate quantitative data for reporting on agricultural sustainability.

Recent Advances in Aquaponic Systems: A Critical Review
This article critically examines recent advances in aquaponic systems, identifies knowledge gaps, and proposes future research directions to enhance system performance, economic viability, and environmental sustainability. ABSTRACT Aquaponics, a symbiotic farming of plants and fish, is a promising solution to address global food security.

Abstract Organic crop production relies mostly on legumes for N input. Intercropping of organic legumes with more competitive crops might provide an alternative to the poor weed suppression and disease susceptibility of legumes. It might also be expected that such intercropping could be of benefit to crops grown in the subsequent year through increased

Abstract Intercropping, the growing of more than one crop at the same time within the same land area, could be a sustainable method of crop production in semiarid regions, which could increase biodiversity, and productivity and quality of crops compared to monocultures.

This study identified 11 SmPR‐1 genes in Salvia miltiorrhiza, which play crucial roles in plant defense and stress response. Expression profiling and subcellular localization of SmPR‐1‐5 suggest its involvement in intracellular signaling, and CMV infection triggers specific gene activation patterns.

Roots of resilience: Optimizing microbe‐rootstock interactions to enhance vineyard productivity
Grape production relies significantly on agrochemicals, such as fertilizers and pesticides, to sustain vine health and yield. However, excessive or improper use of these inputs leads to detrimental environmental effects, including soil degradation, water contamination, and biodiversity decline.

Megatrends and emerging issues: Impacts on food safety
Abstract The world is changing at a pace, driven by global megatrends and their interactions. Megatrends, including climate change, the drive for sustainability, an aging population, urbanization, and geopolitical tensions, are producing an increasingly challenging environment for the provision of a safe and secure food supply. To ensure a robust, safe,

Summary Nectar, a vital mediator of plant–pollinator interactions, exhibits remarkable chemical diversity beyond sugars, including reactive oxygen species and specialized metabolites such as pigments. Colored nectars, present in over 70 species, function as visual signals, inhibitors of microbial growth, or nutritional rewards, underscoring their ...

In a nutshell: pistachio genome and kernel development
Summary Pistachio is a sustainable nut crop with exceptional climate resilience and nutritional value. However, the molecular processes underlying pistachio nut development and nutritional traits are largely unknown, compounded by limited genomic and molecular resources.

ABSTRACT The evolutionary arms race between plants and insects has led to key adaptive innovations that drive diversification. Alkaloids are well‐documented anti‐herbivory compounds in plant chemical defences, but how these specialized metabolites are allocated to cope with both biotic and abiotic stresses concomitantly is largely unknown.
