Background Hypertension is a critical public health issue worldwide. The identification of specific proteomic biomarkers in the Qatari population aims to advance personalized treatment strategies. Methods We conducted proteomic profiling on 778...
Dynamics of multiple sustainable agricultural intensification practices adoption: Application of the intertemporal multivariate probit model
Applying an intertemporal multivariate probit model, we reveal complex complementarity and substitution effects as well as new insights on the drivers of adopting input-intensive and natural resource management (NRM) practices in rural Ethiopia...
Genome-wide association study reveals major loci for resistance to septoria tritici blotch in a Tunisian durum wheat collection
Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is a devastating fungal disease affecting durum and bread wheat worldwide. Tunisian durum wheat landraces are reported to be valuable genetic resources for resistance to STB and should prominently be deployed in...
Boosting photosynthesis opens new opportunities for agriculture sustainability and circular economy: The BEST-CROP research and innovation action
There is a need for ground-breaking technologies to boost crop yield, both grains and biomass, and their processing into economically competitive materials. Novel cereals with enhanced photosynthesis and assimilation of greenhouse gasses, such...
