Yield, Evapotranspiration, Production Functions, Crop Coefficients, Water Productivity and Soil‐Water Extraction of Three Watermelon Varieties

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While watermelon is an important commodity in the United States and worldwide, some of the fundamental watermelon productivity indices (crop evapotranspiration [ETc], transpiration [Tr], evaporation [E], ET‐yield production functions [ETYPF], basal crop coefficients [Kcb], crop water productivity [CWP], soil‐water extraction [SWE]) have not ...

Borax Promotes Fertility of Brassica napus Better Than Other Boron Species at Suboptimal Supply

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Continuous and sufficient boron (B) supply is essential for achieving maximum yield in Brassica napus. Increasing incidences of environmental water limitation are linked to reduced plant B availability and increased B deficiencies.

Effect of Vapor Pressure Deficit on Nutrient Uptake and Growth of Four Tomato Varieties Grown Hydroponically at Low Nutrient Concentrations

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Marginal water sources, such as wastewater, have been proposed as the basis for hydroponic nutrient solutions to improve the resource efficiency of greenhouse‐based tomato production. Such water sources are often low in plant‐available nutrient concentrations, and uptake and use efficiency of these nutrients may vary widely among ...

Integrated characterization of Greek fennel genotypes through morpho‐agronomical characteristics, yield components and phytochemical compounds

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 91-103, March 2025.
Abstract Background Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) is a widely cultivated vegetable and aromatic‐medicinal plant. In this research, field studies assessed 12 fennel genotypes of diverse origin, comprising 10 Greek accessions and two European commercial varieties, focusing on their morpho‐agronomical traits, phenolic compounds and antioxidant ...

Enhancing polyphenol synthesis and antioxidant activity in Camellia sinensis using shikimic and salicylic acids

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Camellia sinensis, widely consumed as tea, is the second most popular beverage globally and is valued for its health benefits. However, environmental stressors pose a significant challenge to the tea industry. This study investigates the potential of shikimic acid (ShA) and its derivative, salicylic acid (SA), as inducers to enhance

A point mutation in VIG1 boosts development and chilling tolerance in rice

Nature Communications
The rice paddy-direct seeding system has been widely adopted due to its low cost and convenience, whereas its application is mainly constrained by low seedling vigor, cold sensitivity, eventually resulting in reduced grain yield.

Optimization of light spectrum and intensity to enhance growth and metabolite profiles in green and purple radish microgreens cultivated in a vertical farming system

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Microgreens have emerged as a promising crop in vertical farming due to their high nutritional value and short growth cycles. Light spectrum and intensity are critical factors influencing biomass production and metabolic activity in plants, particularly in controlled environments such as vertical farming systems. This study aimed to

Juvenile hormone‐mediated accelerated post‐flight recovery of ovarian development in Loxostege sticticalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Flight in female beet webworms (Loxostege sticticalis) promotes an increase in feeding, thereby enhancing abdominal energy reserves. Following flight, the flight muscles undergo accelerated histolysis, and the energy substances undergoing histolysis are redirected to the ovaries. These two processes collectively promote ovarian development.
