Holobiont-based genetic analysis reveals new plant and microbial markers for resistance against a root rot pathogen complex in pea

BMC Plant Biology
Background The pea root rot complex is caused by various soil-borne pathogens that likely reinforce each other, influencing the composition of the root microbiome and leading to significant yield reductions.

Genome-Wide Identification of Height-Related Genes Using Three Maize Dwarfs and RNA-Seq

Agronomy
Plant height is an important grain yield-associated trait in maize. To date, few genes related to plant height have been characterized in maize. To better understand the genetic mechanisms of plant height in maize, we revealed the transcriptional changes

Strawberry Growth Medium Made with Biogas Residues: Feasibility and Economic Benefit Potential

Agronomy
In this study, we examined the impact of various physical and chemical properties of growth media on strawberry growth, yield, quality, and economic returns. Six treatments were established: T1 (biogas residue/peat/perlite/vinegar residue = 1:5:1:4), T2 (

Obesity Subtypes and Longitudinal Trajectories of Function Over Seven Years of Follow‐Up: Data From the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Obesity, defined by body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2, is a risk factor for functional limitations in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, function varies among such individuals. Our objective was to evaluate the implications of obesity subtypes on longitudinal patterns of physical functioning in people with or at risk for knee OA ...

Long-term organic nutrient management in tomato enhances yield, quality, profitability, and soil health in a semi-arid conditions

Scientific Reports
The long-term sustainability of intensive vegetable production systems is threatened by soil degradation and environmental pollution from chemical inputs. A comprehensive seven-year field experiment (2018–2025) was conducted to identify effective organic

The effects of farming systems (organic vs. conventional) on dairy cow welfare, based on the Welfare Quality® protocol

Animal, 2021
Animal welfare in livestock production is of great interest to consumers. The organic farming approach strives to ensure animal welfare based on preventive measures, but there are very few scientific studies that compare the actual differences in animal ...

Multilayer Self‐Limiting Electrospray Deposition via Stepped Voltage Bias

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐limiting electrospray deposition (SLED) uses a high voltage to generate and deposit a charged payload on a target surface. The coating retains its charge, repelling newly arriving material. SLED thickness can be decreased by applying a secondary bias to the target.

Enhancement of Fermentation Performance in the Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Chicken Manure and Corn Straw under Biogas Slurry Reflux via Air Stripping of the Digestate

Agronomy
Ammonium inhibition is a key limiting factor for anaerobic digestion when using chicken manure as the main substrate, especially in a digestion system with biogas slurry reflux. Air stripping is usually used as a recycled biogas slurry treatment. In this

Weed suppression and crop yield performance in sole and intercrops of common vetch and spring wheat depending on seed density ratio in organic farming

Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2020
Common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) can be an alternative grain legume to faba beans, peas, lupins and soy beans due to its high grain protein content. As it is uncommon for grain use, cropping systems need to be developed. Weed infestation is a major problem
