Exploring heritability, correlation, path coefficient, clustering and PCA for morphological traits in Persian walnut (Juglans regia L.)

The current study aimed to elucidate the genetic variability existing in walnut germplasm and to determine the potential traits for selecting elite genotypes. Ultimately, an ample amount of genetic variability was reported in the existing seedling-originated walnut population for...

Adaptive allometry of wing outline in Tachinidae flies

Abstract The size and shape of insect wings vary widely within and among species. One important aspect of this variation is allometry, the relationship between size and shape. Recent predictions suggest that larger insects can fly with a disproportionately smaller wing area or a...

Optimizing genotype and nitrogen management for improved yield and agronomic efficiency in dry direct seeded rice under temperate ecology

Rice production through conventional transplanting is becoming increasingly difficult because of limited water resources and labor shortages. Dry direct-seeded rice (DSR) offers a practical alternative with lower water and labor requirements. However, the success of DSR depends o...

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...

Organophosphate Pesticides Promote Cardiovascular Toxicity via NF‐κB/NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Endothelial Dysfunction: Integrated In Vivo and In Vitro Evidence

ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases are increasingly linked to environmental toxicants, including widely used organophosphate pesticides. This study investigates the cardiotoxic potential of chlorpyrifos (CPF) and dimethoate (DM) using complementary in vivo and in vitro models. Fema...

Evolution of apple scab prediction models from empirical systems to Artificial Intelligence based predictive frameworks

Apple scab poses a significant threat to apple production worldwide, necessitating effective management strategies. Over the decades, the evolution of apple scab prediction models has transitioned from empirical and rule-based approaches to sophisticated simulation and machine le...

Topographic and Climatic Determinants of Soil Organic Carbon Across Landscapes: A Meta‐Analysis

ABSTRACT The soil is the greatest natural store of organic carbon, holding between 1500 to 1550 Pg C of organic carbon at the top 100 cm of the soil globally—roughly twice the carbon pool in the atmosphere. The spatial distribution of this stock is controlled by a complex chain o...

Phenotypic modulation of I gene-mediated resistance to bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV) through recessive gene interactions

Abstract Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) and bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV) are among the most destructive aphid-transmitted viral pathogens affecting common beans and other cultivated legumes in India. Resistance to these viruses in common bean has traditionally been...
