Reducing Pb accumulation in roots of sweet potato under low lead-contaminated soil by Azotobacter inoculation

open access: yesJournal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2023
Agricultural soil is possibly threatened by lead (Pb) contamination due to the intensive use of fertilizers. The rhizobacteria were recommended for the bioremediation of soils contaminated by low concentrations of Pb.

Genome‐wide association studies and genomics‐informed breeding for tuber dormancy in tetraploid potatoes

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Upon harvest, potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers enter a dormant state and do not sprout even under favorable conditions. Early dormancy break causes tuber spoilage and reduces postharvest quality. Common sprout control methods may compromise tuber quality, raise health and environmental concerns, and increase costs.

Harnessing genomic resources for passion fruit improvement: Progress and prospects

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a highly nutritious horticultural crop cultivated widely across tropical and subtropical regions. Despite decades of breeding efforts that have led to the release of a few high‐yielding cultivars, on‐farm productivity remains suboptimal, and several existing cultivars are showing signs of declining vigor ...

Neuroprotective Effect of Sweet Potato Petiole and Leaf Dry‐Powder in a Gerbil Model of Transient Cerebral Ischaemia

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Continuous intake of sweet potato petiole and leaf, rich in polyphenols, demonstrated the neuroprotective effects in a gerbil model of transient cerebral ischaemia. Pre‐ischaemic feeding of a diet containing sweet potato petiole and leaf tended to be more effective than post‐ischaemic feeding.

Effects of Sewage Treatment Water Supply on Leaf Development and Yield of Tuberous Roots in Multilayered Sweet Potato Cultivation

open access: yesHorticulturae, 2023
To develop a way to mass-produce sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) as an energy crop to replace fossil fuels, the effects of using a sewage supply as a fertilizer and heat source were investigated.

Retardation of Vine Development of Pot-grown Sweet Potato Plants with Mepiquat Chloride

open access: yesHortScience, 1986
Abstract Mepiquat chloride sprays did not affect the percentage of dry weight partitioned to ‘Georgia Jet’ sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas Lam.] vines or storage roots, but with 4000 or 8000 mg liter−1 concentrations there was a tendency toward reduced vine length and reduced number of nodes.

The Application of Carbon Dots in Crops for Sustainable Agriculture

open access: yesChemistryEurope, Volume 4, Issue 2, February 2026.
Carbon dots serve as versatile nanoagents across the crop life cycle. They promote plant growth and photosynthesis, enhance resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses, aid in postharvest preservation, and enable sensitive detection of contaminants.
