Integrated Strategies for Saline‐Alkali Soil Remediation and the Development of Salt‐Alkali‐Tolerant Crops

ABSTRACT Soil salinization is a major threat to global food security and sustainable agriculture, soil salinization affects approximately 8.31 × 10 8 hm 2 of soil resources globally. The remediation and productive use of saline‐alkali land have therefore become urgent global chal...

Effects of Dietary Glycine Supplementation on Reproductive Outcomes and Early Piglet Growth in Local Black Gilts: Associations with Placental Traits and Maternal Gut Microbiota–Metabolome Profiles

Dietary glycine may influence reproductive outcomes, placental development, and early piglet growth in gilts. Sixty local black gilts were randomly assigned to a basal diet (CON), an isonitrogenous control supplemented with 1.19% L-alanine (ALA), or 1.0% glycine (GLY; n = 20 per...

A Gapless T2T Genome and Population-Scale Resequencing of Adzuki Bean Reveal Centromere Evolution and Accelerate Molecular Breeding

Abstract The adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) is an economically and nutritionally significant legume species. Using a multi-strategy sequencing approach, a gapless, telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly of an elite cultivar, Jihong 16 (JH16), was generated. The genome size was...
