JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 78-90, March 2025.Abstract Background Many reports from the UK government and other organisations highlight a need for a plant aware workforce, and some enumerate specific areas of plant science where there is a skills shortage. We have undertaken a systematic analysis of the content of degree programmes that advertise as teaching plant biology to determine if the UK ...

Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and

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

CO2 Fluxes and Soil Responses to Straw and Herbicide in Peanut
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Peanut cultivation plays an important agronomic role in Brazil, especially in rotation with sugarcane, promoting biological nitrogen fixation and improving soil quality. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the combined use of sugarcane mulch, peanut cultivation, and herbicide application would affect soil CO₂ fluxes, soil chemical ...
