Context-specific agronomic solutions for achieving agronomic gains with reduced environmental footprints in irrigated drylands of Egypt
CONTEXT Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is Egypt's staple crop, crucial for national food security. However, the country remains heavily reliant on imports to meet domestic demand. Enhancing production sustainably requires a systematic assessment of...
Building climate resilience in the MENA region: a feminist political ecology of agroecology and neglected and underutilized crop species
This study explores the factors associated with the cultivation of neglected and underutilized crop species (NUS) and agroecology adoption (crop rotation with legumes) amid the climate crisis in rural Lebanon and Morocco. A mixed-methods...
Genetic parameters estimation of fatty acid and related traits in the longissimus Thoracis of Hu sheep
The influence of fatty acids (FAs) on meat quality and health is widely recognized. However, estimates of genetic parameters for FAs in sheep muscle remain scarce. Here, data from 1230 Hu sheep with integrated pedigree information were used to...

Estimation of Genetic Parameters for Deviation in Age at Market Weight and Deviation in Weight at Market Age in Menz Sheep
Reducing the number of days from birth to slaughter is one strategy to improve animal feed and environmental efficiency. The export market use yearling sheep weighing 22–30 kg and usually purchases from large and small-scale traders at an early...
Harnessing the plant‑associated microbiome: Rhizosphere and endophyte plant growth‑promoting bacteria (PGPB) to mitigate salt stress in the Egyptian wheat
Salt stress poses a significant threat to wheat productivity, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions such as Egypt, where soil salinity severely limits crop yield and long-term agricultural sustainability. With increasing recognition of the...
