Dual-purpose management reduced wheat yield and varied by crop
Analysis of dual-purpose cereal crops reveals oat optimal for combined grain-forage production, barley best for forage alone, with rainfall variability as primary constraint to economic viability.
Purple barley showed higher quercetin-related gene expression
Transcriptome analysis reveals how purple barley accumulates quercetin through coordinated expression of biosynthesis genes during grain maturation, with implications for crop improvement and.
Agrifood byproducts are described as valuable resources for sustainability
Review of agrifood by-product valorization pathways for extracting bioactive compounds and advancing sustainable food systems through pharmaceutical, food, packaging, and cosmetic applications.
Global bee species richness estimated at 24,705-26,164
Study reveals global bee species richness estimates of 24,705-26,164 species, with 18-25% undescribed diversity concentrated in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, highlighting geographic taxonomic gaps.
Muzzle-pattern biometrics identified harvested red deer accurately
Automated animal biometrics using muzzle pattern analysis achieves 95% accuracy for red deer identification, enabling verifiable harvest documentation and improved ungulate population management.
Barley salt tolerance genes identified at germination stage
Discover genetic loci and candidate genes controlling salt tolerance in barley at germination using GWAS and multi-omics analysis. Identify 306 SNPs and 24 key genes for breeding salt-resistant crops.
Integrated SNP markers distinguished wheat genotypes and selection signals
