Cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill.) can survive extreme environmental condition and is known for its fodder potential in many parts of the world. The morphological diversity of 15 introduced accessions was evaluated at Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh...

Rainfall and temperature are unpredictable factors in Mediterranean environments
that result in irregular environmental conditions for crop growth, thus being a critical
source of uncertainty for farmers. This study applied divergent single-plant...

Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) are widespread across the plant kingdom, and
their concentrations are related to the environment, genotype, and harvest time. RFOs
are known to carry out many functions in plants and humans. In this paper, we...

CONTEXT
Declining water quantity and quality and poor land, water, and crop management practices are leading to increasing soil salinity, land degradation, desertification, and threatening the overall sustainability of the crop production system in...

Emerging wheat stem rust races have become a major threat to global wheat production. Finding additional loci responsible for resistance to these races and incorporating them into currently cultivated varieties is the most economic and...

Breeding hybrids with maximum heterosis requires efficient cross-pollination and an
improved male sterility system. Renewed efforts have been made to dissect the phenotypic variation
and genetic basis of hybrid floral traits, although the potential...

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is one of the central issues in dealing with soil fertility as well
as environmental and food safety. Due to the lack of relevant data sources and methodologies,
analyzing SOC dynamics has been a challenge in Morocco. During...
