Assessing plant water status: Part 1 – Classical methods

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract As a result of the changing climate, water scarcity poses a significant threat to crop and pasture production. Although soil water content can indicate drought, its measurements often provide limited spatial resolution and are weakly correlated with plant water status, producing misleading drought assessments.

The effect of light supplementation on the changes in outer and inner fruit quality of different Selenicereus spp. cultivars

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Selenicereus spp., belonging to the Cactaceae family, produces pitaya, a fruit recognized for its exotic appearance and rich phytochemical composition. In regions with shorter photoperiods, flowering and fruit development are limited, making light supplementation a promising strategy.

Beyond a dual role: how Purpureocillium lilacinum reprograms citrus metabolism for integrated biocontrol and growth promotion

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plants harbor complex microbial communities that are fundamental to their health and productivity. Among them, endophytic fungi such as Purpureocillium lilacinum establish mutualistic associations, offering dual benefits as plant growth promoters and biocontrol agents.

Silicon differentially protects PSII and PSI photochemistry and preserves fatty acid metabolism in salt‐stressed Sorghum bicolor (L.)

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Silicon (Si) has been demonstrated to be an important element to enhance crop tolerance against salinity. Nevertheless, mechanisms underlying Si's mitigation of salt stress remains insufficiently explored and understood. This study aims to provide new insights into Si's impact on salt‐stressed Sorghum bicolor (L.) supplied or not ...

Bio‐Derived Carbon Nanoparticles: A Green Amendment for Alleviating Heavy Metals in Soil–Plant Systems

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heavy metal (HM) contamination of soil–plant systems poses persistent ecological and health risks, driving interest in nanoparticle‐based remediation. Although conventional chemically synthesized nanoparticles (CSNPs) are effective, their energy‐intensive production and residual toxicity limit sustainable deployment.

Host suitability of Mediterranean olive (Olea europaea L.) varieties to two root‐knot nematode species (Meloidogyne javanica and M. incognita) under greenhouse conditions

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Root‐knot nematodes significantly threaten olive production in Morocco. Screening of seven olive varieties revealed strong resistance in Koroneiki and Picholine Marocaine, characterized by suppressed nematode reproduction, sustained plant growth, and enhanced defense responses.

Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...
