Weather-based prediction of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) honey yield and quality: a reproducible computational system with operational deployment

Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.; marketed as “acacia”) honey production in South Korea—accounting for over 70% of national honey output—has been increasingly affected by weather-driven disturbances, resulting in substantial production declines, notably in 2018 and 2020 ( Ki...

Iron-responsive transcription factor SreA regulates calcium homeostasis independently of calcineurin–Crz1 pathway in Fusarium graminearum

ABSTRACT Calcium is an abundant intracellular ion that is intricately involved in various cellular processes. The precise regulation of calcium homeostasis is critical for fungal physiology. In fungi, calcium signaling is primarily mediated by the calmodulin–calcineurin pathway,...

Fish Assemblages Distinguish Eco-Friendly from Conventional Rice Paddies Through Abundance and Biomass Rather than Diversity

Although rice paddies are agricultural land, they also serve as artificial wetlands that deliver essential ecosystem services. Yet how farming systems affect their fish communities—and which metrics best capture those effects—remains poorly quantified in Asia. We compared fish as...

Identification of Early Stage Physiological Indicators for Summer Heat Resilience in Kimchi Cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis) via Integrated GWAS and Machine Learning

The production of Kimchi cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis) is increasingly threatened by concurrent heat and drought stress, which induce physiological disorders and severe heading failure. In this study, we implemented a dual-environment screening strategy to identify r...
