Integrative chemometric profiling of biochemical composition, fatty acids, minerals, organic acids, and carbohydrates in wild olive (Olea europaea L. subsp. oleaster) genotypes for quality-oriented selection

This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the compositional diversity of wild olive ( Olea europaea L. subsp. oleaster ) genotypes through an integrated analysis of biochemical traits, fatty acid composition, mineral elements, organic acids, and carbohydrates, and to identify...

Exogenous soluble sugars modulate disease severity and physiological and biochemical responses in olive (Olea europaea L.) trees infected with Verticillium dahliae Kleb.

Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae Kleb., is a soil-borne disease limiting olive ( Olea europaea L.) production, and its management remains challenging. This study evaluated the effects of soluble sugars, applied alone or in combination with fungicide and Trichoder...

The Concept of Unemployment as a Global Problem and Its Dimensions

Aim: Employment and unemployment are currently a significant issue, discussed at regional, national, and international levels, as they have been in the past. Economic crises experienced regionally or globally negatively impact state economies, triggering other socio-economic prob...

Fruit development and quality traits of breadnut (Artocarpus camansi Blanco) and breadfruit (A. altilis (Parkinson) Fosberg): a comparative study

A comprehensive comparative assessment was conducted to characterize the morphological, physicochemical, cooking, biochemical, antioxidant, and mineral composition of breadnut ( Artocarpus camansi Blanco) and breadfruit ( A. altilis (Parkinson) Fosberg) at four fruit developmenta...

Improving Selection Efficiency at the Head Rows Stage of Winter Wheat Breeding by Using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index

Visual selection in early stage of wheat breeding is usually implemented method. This study was conducted to compare breeders’ visual selection with normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) selection. Three different selection protocols were used at Head Rows (HR) stage: Bre...

Diversified pomegranate-based intercropping systems to enhance productivity, profitability, and soil fertility in semi-arid ecosystems

Diversified intercropping is increasingly recognized as a strategy to enhance the productivity and the sustainability in orchard-based agroecosystems, particularly in water-limited environments. A five-year field experiment (2016–2020) was conducted under semi-arid conditions of...

Biocidal effect of UV-C light on environmental bacteria in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Abstract Background Germicidal irradiation with Ultra-Violet light type C (UV-C) (UV-C=200-280 nm) is used as a complement to hospital cleaning in health centers to disinfect air and surfaces, eliminating up to 99.9999% (-6 logarithms) of viruses and bacteria. Standard cleaning i...

The I4746K mutation in the ryanodine receptor is associated with high‐level resistance to diamide insecticides in Phthorimaea absoluta

BACKGROUND: The South American tomato pinworm, Phthorimaea absoluta, has developed resistance to diamide insecticides mainly through target-site mutations in the ryanodine receptor (RyR), including I4746M, G4903E, and G4903V. Recently, a novel mutation, I4746K, has been identifie...

Evaluation of the Welfare of Şavak Akkaraman Sheep Raised in Extensive Farming Systems Using AWIN Protocol

This study aimed to evaluate the welfare status of Şavak Akkaraman sheep raised in extensive farming systems in Erzincan Province, Türkiye, using the Animal Welfare Indicators (AWIN) protocol. Welfare was assessed on 25 farms involving 793 sheep (746 females and 47 males) using a...

Thermal regulation of phenological development in karonda (Carissa carandas L.) based on an extended BBCH scale

This study provides the first integrated phenological and thermal time framework for karonda ( Carissa carandas L.) using the extended BBCH scale. Karonda is an underutilized evergreen fruit crop valued for its adaptability to marginal environments; however, standardized informat...

The impact of twine materials on the catch efficiency of abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) on crustaceans: an experimental study from Turkish inland set net fishery

Context Abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) represent a persistent pollution source in freshwater ecosystems, continuously capturing crustaceans long after being converted into ghost nets. Aim This study aims to experimentally determine the effects of the...
