Programmed Cell Death in Plants: A Genomic Symphony

Programmed cell death (PCD) in plants is a genetically encoded and tightly regulated process crucial for growth, development, and environmental adaptation. Although analogous to apoptosis in animals, plant PCD exhibits distinct molecular and structural features coordinated by chl...

Combined effects of magnesium and micronutrients on growth, yield, quality, and nutrient use efficiency of bitter gourd in terrace soils

Combined effects of magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), and boron (B) on bitter gourd ( Momordica charantia L.) under terrace soils are not well documented. Therefore, a study was conducted to assess the combined effect of Mg, Zn, and B fertilization on bitter gourd growth, yield, nutrien...

Optimized Potting Media and Vertical Farming Enhance High‐Value Crop Productivity in Riverine Lands of Bangladesh

ABSTRACT Limited cultivable land and seasonal flooding constrain vegetable production in the riverine char lands of Bangladesh, highlighting the need for efficient and climate‐resilient production systems. This study evaluated optimized potting media for seedling production and t...
