Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8053-8063, September 2026.
Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.

INVESTIGATING THE UTILITY OF SISAL IN HOT MIX ASPHALT AS A FIBER

Mühendislik Bilimleri ve Tasarım Dergisi, 2019
Hot mix asphalt (HMA) is very common as a highway construction material. Although investment costs are lower than other pavements, HMA needs maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) more often because of environmental conditions. The time needed for M&R can be extended by using fibers in the mixture.
