Integrated management strategies for sustainable intensification of a sweet maize–vegetable triple-cropping system in a water-sensitive region

Context and objective Intensive sweet maize–vegetable cropping systems are critical for food production but typically rely on excessive nutrient inputs, leading to substantial nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) losses, particularly in water-sensitive regions. However, most field stu...

Enhanced-efficiency fertilisers: mechanisms, agronomic performance, and environmental implications with emphasis on nitrogen-based fertilisers

Enhanced-efficiency fertilisers (EEFs) are designed to regulate nutrient release and reduce losses associated with conventional fertiliser use. Among these, enhanced-efficiency nitrogen fertilisers (EENFs) have received increasing research attention, as nitrogen (N) utilisation b...

Genome-wide cyclin gene evolution in Arabidopsis and Brassica reveals polyploidization-driven duplication and flowering-time associations

Abstract Cyclin genes are plant cell cycle regulators that play essential roles in growth, development, and reproduction. However, the evolutionary dynamics and genomic organization of cyclin genes across the Brassicaceae family remain poorly understood, particularly in the conte...
