Pu’er raw tea, a representative tea with a positive correlation between quality and storage time, has a unique aging process. It can not only reduce the heavy astringent taste of newly produced tea, but also has a complex and fragrant aging aroma. However, the extremely slow natural aging process of...

Environmental concerns drive the search for sustainable organic alternatives in horticultural substrates. This review critically examines three agro-industry renewable byproducts—wood fiber, coffee silverskin, and brewer’s spent grain—as partial peat substitutes. We aimed to comprehensively analyze...

Soybeans have been cultivated in Poland for more than 140 years. However, Poland’s cold and water-deficient climatic conditions hinder soybean cultivation. Although the availability of suitable soybean varieties in Poland contributes to meeting the demand for soybean production, it is important to i...

Drought stress has a significant impact on cotton growth, development, and productivity. This study conducted drought stress treatment and normal water treatment (control group) on 502 cotton accessions and analyzed data on eight phenotypic traits closely related to drought stress tolerance. The res...

Pancreatic cancer cells exhibit a remarkable ability to tolerate nutrient deprivation, a phenomenon termed “austerity,” which enables their survival within the hypovascular tumor microenvironment. Conventional anticancer therapies frequently fail to effectively target these resilient neoplastic cell...

Understanding the influence of environmental factors on cotton performance is crucial for enhancing yield and fiber quality in the context of climate change. This study investigates genotype-by-environment (G×E) interactions in cotton, using data from 250 recombinant inbred lines (CCRI70 RILs) culti...

Although cold storage is commonly used to extend peach fruit shelf-life, chilling injury (CI) can develop during low-temperature storage conditions and be expressed during exposure to ambient temperature. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to characterize and compare the differences in CI...

Local innovations regarding plant-derived spice and flavorant formulations and preparation techniques are mostly recorded nowhere and usually passed on generationally through word of mouth. This study aimed to inventory the utilization of plants and perceptions of novel indigenous food spicing and f...

Contamination of the soil with cadmium (Cd) presents serious hazards to plant growth, ecosystem harmony, and human health. Plants have evolved various mechanisms to address Cd toxicity, such as sequestration, chelation, and antioxidant defense systems. Knowledge of these mechanisms is an important r...
