Cross‐Kingdom Siderophores: Biosynthesis, Ecology, and Biotechnological Applications

ABSTRACT Microbial siderophores are high‐affinity iron‐binding compounds which are produced by bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes to obtain iron and survive and interact with different species in an iron‐deficient environment. While the conventional research on siderophore system...

Black phosphorus quantum dots for resistome mitigation: Mechanistic insights and rational engineering

The emergence of antibiotic resistance as a global environmental challenge has intensified the need for advanced strategies capable of addressing antibiotic contamination while reducing the environmental drivers of resistance dissemination. Although black phosphorus quantum dot (...

Enhancing soil hydrothermal efficiency through spectral-selective mulching and drip irrigation in broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica L.)

Water scarcity and declining soil fertility necessitate the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices that enhance crop productivity while maintaining soil health. Mulching is an effective strategy for regulating soil temperature, conserving soil moisture, and improving crop...

Enhanced prediction of monthly reference evapotranspiration by optimizing SVR with the bagging algorithm in Indian Punjab

In this study, support vector regression (SVR) was enhanced with the Bagging (B-SVR) algorithm for monthly ET0 prediction at Ludhiana and Faridkot stations. The three different scenarios (S1, S2, and S3) were developed to predict monthly ET0 at study locations. The outcomes of th...
