Allelic Variation in Maize Malate Dehydrogenase 7 Shapes Promoter Methylation and Banded Leaf and Sheath Blight Resistance

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.
In this study maize chloroplastic malate dehydrogenase7 (ZmMDH7), is identified as a Rhizoctonia solani resistance gene in maize. ZmMDH7 is regulated by transcription factor ZmWRKY44 via pathogens challenge to elevate mitochondrial ROS and SA signaling pathway.

Potential Application of Linear Programming Method and Solid‐State Fermentation in Improving the Quality of Fish Feed and Profits of Small‐Scale Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Farming in Tanzania

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The scarcity of affordable and high‐quality fish feeds limits aquaculture development in many developing countries. The present study assessed the use of linear programming (LP) techniques for formulating Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) diets and solid‐state fermentation (SSF) technology to improve their nutritional value.
