ABSTRACT The use of saline water for irrigation is increasing as the quantity and quality of irrigation water resources are declining. Saline irrigation also provides a means to investigate crop responses to heterogenous salinity, which is a common occurrence in agricultural fields. Crop responses to salinity are dose‐ and genotype dependent, providing

Management of cover crops and soil amendments affect yield outcomes during organic transition
Abstract This study sought to assess the impact of cover cropping and high rates of soil amendments on crop yield during organic transition. Compost, biochar, or a “50/50” mixture of the two on a C‐equivalent basis were applied at a rate of 8 Mg C ha−1 per varying application regimens, with and without cover crops, at two locations on the North ...

Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) fertilization is widely used to enhance crop productivity. However, the synergistic effects of combined N, P, and K application on sweetpotato yield and nutrient use efficiency are not fully understood.

Abstract Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can accelerate plant adaptation, but the evolutionary fate of newly acquired nuclear genes is often unclear. Here, we analyzed a papain‐like cysteine peptidase horizontally transferred from Panicoideae to wild Hordeum (Poaceae). Using chromosome‐level assemblies of 21 diploid Hordeum species, we assessed presence/

Transforming Life Science Through Chromosome‐Level Genome Assemblies
Chromosome‐level genome assemblies provide a framework for “glocal biology” in species of interest, linking local molecular features to chromosome architecture and evolutionary context. When integrated with pangenome analysis, comparative multi‐omics, genome language models, and experimental approaches, these assemblies enable hypothesis generation and

Cucurbit Leaf Crumple Virus: An Important Pathogen of Cucurbit and Snap Bean Crops
Cucurbit leaf crumple virus (CuLCrV) is an emerging pathogen in the New World. High whitefly abundance and transmission efficiency, mixed infections, weed reservoirs and limited host resistance challenge cucurbit and snap bean production. ABSTRACT Taxonomy Cucurbit leaf crumple virus (CuLCrV); Begomovirus cucurbitae; Geminiviridae; Geplafuvirales ...

IntroductionThe higher plant transcription factor C2H2 zinc finger protein (C2H2-ZFP) is essential for plant growth, development, and stress response. There are limited studies on C2H2-ZFP genes in sweetpotato, despite a substantial number of C2H2-ZFP ...
