Abstract The use of carbon‐based biostimulants (e.g., humic acid [HA] and molasses/yeast extract [MYE]) to enhance grain yield and/or quality of maize (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is increasing. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine if MYE or HA use can consistently influence grain yield and quality of maize and ...

Forgetting cane grasses: Switching temporal focus to reveal mosaics of Saccharum diversity
Societal Impact Statement Sugarcane (Saccharum cvs.) is one of the most important cash crops globally. Related varieties and species of cane grasses of the genus Saccharum are also important subsistence crops in the Indo‐Pacific region.

The carnivorous pitcher plant Nepenthes mirabilis likely originated in Wallacea and New Guinea, and expanded northward into the Sundaic, Indochina, and Philippine regions during glacial and interglacial periods. In response to future climate change, the predicted geographical distributions are projected to a latitudinal shift toward higher latitudes ...

ABSTRACT Nucleoredoxin 1 (NRX1), a member of the redoxin superfamily, plays a critical role in maintaining redox homeostasis and enhancing stress tolerance in plants. We employed integrated in silico analyses and CRISPR‐Cas9‐based genome editing to functionally characterize NRX1 in Triticum aestivum (wheat) responding to salinity and infection by ...

Planting corn at high‐speed increased stand variability but did not affect yield
Abstract Timely planting and uniform stands are prerequisites for optimal corn (Zea mays L.) production. However, frequent rainfall often limits corn acreage planted in the southeast region of the United States. Planting faster might offer a potential solution as new technology claims up to 19 km h−1 planting speeds without sacrificing seed singulation

Abstract Agricultural practices in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) of South Florida have focused on managing accelerated organic matter (OM) decomposition in Histosols, which leads to soil subsidence. Rotating flooded rice (Oryza sativa L., variety Diamond) during the summer fallow period of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) has been proposed

Harnessing entomopathogenic fungi: A meta‐analysis on their role as plant growth promoters
Our meta‐analysis highlights the potential of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) as sustainable alternatives to chemical pesticides and fertilisers. By promoting plant growth and reducing reliance on agrochemicals, EPF can support healthier crops, minimise environmental contamination and improve profitability within food production systems.

Genetic maps of Saccharum officinarum L. and Saccharum robustum Brandes & Jew. ex grassl
Genetic analysis was performed in a population composed of 100 F1 individuals derived from a cross between a cultivated sugarcane (S. officinarum `LA Purple') and its proposed progenitor species (S. robustum `Mol 5829'). Various types (arbitrarily primed-PCR, RFLPs, and AFLPs) of single-dose DNA markers (SDMs) were used to construct genetic linkage ...

Chloroplast genome diversity and phylogenetic insights of Saccharum spontaneum across Southeast Asia
Climate change and threats to global food security have increased the urgency of conserving genetic resources in key crops like sugarcane. In this study, we analyzed the chloroplast genomes of wild sugarcane to assess their genetic diversity and population structure. We found a high level of diversity, regardless of geographic location, and patterns of
