Biodiversity in the sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) germplasm of Pakistan
Sorghum ranks fifth in worldwide economic importance among cereal crops and is one of the most important summer annual grasses of Pakistan. As it is a very diverse crop, sorghum genetic fingerprinting requires an efficient marker system. We estimated genetic divergence among 29 sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) genotypes, including approved varieties and local

Abstract Plant breeding is essential for crop improvement, yet progress is often hindered by slow, laborious, and subjective field phenotyping methods. High‐throughput phenotyping (HTP), particularly image‐based methodologies powered by machine learning, offers a pathway to overcome these limitations.

Soil carbon stock and physical attributes under land‐use chronosequence in the Brazilian Cerrado
Abstract Land‐use changes impact soil physical quality and carbon stocks. Most studies evaluating the conversion of native Brazilian Cerrado to agriculture focus on surface soil layers (up to 40 cm), with fewer examining deeper layers (0–100 cm). This study assessed the impacts of different land‐use systems on soil physical attributes and soil organic ...

Ultrasound (US) enhances the hydration of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) grains
The water activity (Aw) reduction technique is widely used to preserve different food products, which are further rehydrated in order to be processed or consumed. The food hydration is time-consuming and, thus, a limiting unit operation during process. Therefore, there is an ongoing need to enhance the mass transfer phenomena during processing.

Cover crop and termination date effects on wheat forage biomass, nutrient content, and profitability
Abstract Cover crops are being encouraged due to benefits to soil health and ecosystem services, but they could negatively affect subsequent forage production and system profitability in regions with limited water availability. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of cover crop treatment and termination date on wheat (Triticum ...

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

Characterizing How Community‐Level Plant Functional Traits Impact Soil Microbial Diversity
ABSTRACT Introduction Functional trait‐based approaches have been suggested for designing functionally diverse plant communities to influence soil microbial community structure and diversity. However, it remains unclear how species‐level plant functional traits (PFTs) and microbial associations translate to community‐level functional trait and soil ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Crop production has been declining in semi‐arid areas over the past two decades due to several biophysical constraints, including soil infertility and water stress induced by low rainfall. The objective of the experiment was to evaluate the effects of biochar and rainwater harvesting techniques on soil moisture content, bulk ...
