Signatures of local adaptation to current and future climate in phenology-related genes in natural populations of Quercus robur.

Scientists studied how plants adapt to their local environments and predicted how they would respond to climate change. This information is crucial for understanding and managing the effects of climate change on plant species.

Unravelling the dynamics of genotype and environment interactions on chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) yield-related attributes in soilless planting systems.

Studied 30 chilli genotypes in different planting systems to identify high-yielding and stable varieties. Genotypes G26 and G30 yield stable, while G16, G22, and G30 have stable fruit numbers. HydroStock and BioHydrogel planting systems performed well, valuable for breeding and improving agriculture. (166 characters)

Unlocking the potential of co-application of steel slag and biochar in mitigation of arsenic-induced oxidative stress by modulating antioxidant and glyoxalase system in Abelmoschus esculentus L.

The study found that the addition of steel slag and corncob biochar improved the growth parameters, reduced oxidative stress markers, and lowered arsenic accumulation in okra plants. These materials can be cost-effective and safe for crop production in arsenic contaminated soil.

Omics approaches to understand the MADS-box gene family in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) against drought stress.

This study identified and classified 79 PvMADS genes in P. vulgaris, with type I and type II classes. Type II genes have the K domain and duplications led to their expansion. PvMADS genes are also important in response to drought stress.
