Effect of grafting time and technique on the success rate of grafted Mango (Mangifera indica L.) in Kalu District of Amhara Region, North Eastern Ethiopia

Cogent Food & Agriculture, 2019
Vegetative propagation through grafting is the recommended method for most fruit crops including mango. It involves the joining of scion and rootstock where the rootstock develops into the root system while the scion develops the upper fruiting part of ...

Landscape Genomic Tools Can Inform Future Rootstock and Farmland Selection for an Agricultural Tree Nut From Its Wild Relatives

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 11, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change is threatening crop yield of a broad range of agricultural species, impacting global food security and trade. Crop wild relatives may contain climate adaptations that can be quickly introduced into cultivars, especially in perennial tree crops that use rootstock.

Scion–rootstock combination determines pruning responses in young almond trees [PDF]

Almond growers are seeking ways to reduce costs but maintain yield. Intensive planting systems with greater planting densities using trees on growth-controlling rootstocks, combined with mechanical pruning and shake-and-catch harvesting are becoming ...

Next‐Generation Sustainable Food Production Through Integrative Biotechnology, AI, and Climate‐Resilient Innovations

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT By 2050, the global population is projected to reach ~10 billion, leading to 50% increase in food demand. This growth will place immense pressure on agricultural systems that are already struggling with the impacts of climate change and resource depletion.

Improving Peach Fruit Yield and Quality Using Foliar Application of Nano Chelated Zinc and Seaweed Extract (Spirulina platensis): A Multivariate Analysis Approach

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
The combined application of nano‐zinc and Spirulina extract enhances peach yield, fruit firmness, and nutritional quality. An optimal treatment significantly improves fruit set (+107.5%), TSS, and vitamin C content. ABSTRACT The twenty‐seven identical peach trees were exposed to different levels of a Nano Chelated fertilizer contain 12% Zn and ...

Enhancing the vase life of cut roses through spectral optimisation during greenhouse cultivation

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 656-673, May 2026.
Here, we examined three red‐to‐blue (R:B) light emitting diode (LED) ratios (90:10, 80:20 and 70:30) in two cut rose cultivars. All treatments enhanced photosynthesis, with 90:10 showing the strongest effects—raising chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanins and carbohydrate levels, and extending vase life by up to 30%.

Generation of a recipient line for Rubisco engineering by multiplex genome editing in tobacco

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 4, May 2026.
SUMMARY Rubisco (ribulose 1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) is the primary CO2‐fixing enzyme on our planet. Its slow kinetics and poor discrimination between carbon dioxide and oxygen as substrates severely limit the efficiency of photosynthetic carbon fixation by plants.

Farmer‐Led Strategies for Water Conservation in the Urmia Lake Basin, Iran

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 2, Page 840-855, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the urgent issues of water scarcity and limited farmer livelihoods in the Urmia Lake basin. To address these challenges, we apply the Governance, Autonomy, Integration, and Needs orientation (GAIN) methodology. Our participatory approach revealed that farmers prioritised actionable measures for water management, yield ...
