(Springer, 2025)Please read abstract in the article.
-
(Frontiers Media, 2024-07)The ecosystems across the world are affected by diverse impacts of climate change. Climate change will also affect soil seed bank as the seed bank is determined by the plants that are above the ground. This study was ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-12)A greater understanding of Moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.) transpiration (T) can assist in the development of accurate irrigation management tools. This study aimed at quantifying Moringa T by measuring and modelling the ...
-
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2024-08)An effective methodology is needed to simulate soil spectra on a large scale. The brightness-shape-moisture (BSM) radiative transfer model (RTM) is used to simulate soil spectra for different semiarid and arid biomes within ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-11)Rapid woody encroachment by native species is transforming grasslands and savannas across the world. The drivers of this encroachment are diverse, complex, and potentially interlinked, including fire exclusion, overgrazing, ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2024-05)Weeds are attractive models for basic and applied research due to their impacts on agricultural systems and capacity to swiftly adapt in response to anthropogenic selection pressures. Currently, a lack of genomic information ...
-
Historical perspective on 120 years of agriculture : highlights from research published in the SAJS (Academy of Science of South Africa, 2024-11)Agriculture, an essential pillar of South Africa’s economy, has evolved through a century of scientific advancements. This Perspective highlights the significant research contributions to the improvement of citrus and ...
-
(Meise Botanic Garden and Royal Botanical Society of Belgium, 2024-02)BACKGROUND AND AIMS : The species name Gymnosporia filiformis, validly published in a 1927 revision of South African Celastraceae, was based on syntypes representing both Maytenus cordata and a new species. Subsequent ...
-
(American Phytopathological Society, 2024-09)In March 2023, leaf spot symptoms characterized by ovoid, oblong lesions with a pale brown center and small and narrow linear lesions were observed in seed maize production fields in Mkushi District, Zambia. The symptoms ...
-
(Wiley, 2024)Plant–microbe interactions significantly influence plant growth dynamics and adaptability. This study explores the impact of metabolites on microbial biodiversity in shoot tips and wood of Populus nigra under greenhouse ...
-
(Springer, 2024-10)Mountainous regions typically harbour high plant diversity but are also characterised by low sampling intensity. Coarse-scale species distribution models can provide insights into the distribution of poorly sampled species, ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2024-09)Fruit- and vegetable-processing facilities may contaminate wastewater via contaminants found in the produce and disinfecting chemicals used. These contaminants may include agrochemicals, pesticides, and disinfectants ...
-
(MDPI, 2024-08)Recent technological advancements in conservation genetics and genomics have resulted in diverse tools for aiding the conservation of species. The precision and resolution of high throughput sequencing technologies provide ...
-
(MDPI, 2024-07)Neglected and Under-utilized plant Species (NUS) can contribute to food system transformation in Sub-Saharan Africa, but many are understudied. Here, we conducted a systematic review of 37 empirical studies to synthesize ...
-
(MDPI, 2024-10)Land degradation poses a significant global challenge, adversely affecting soil quality and diminishing the productivity of arable land, which, in turn, impacts food production and ecosystem services. This degradation ...
-
(Wiley, 2024)Irrigated agriculture provides 40% of the world's crop-based foods but often with a negative impact on the environment. It is important to recognize that in addition to providing food and fibre, irrigation and controlled ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2024-08)Maize is the most widely cultivated and major security crop in sub-Saharan Africa. Three foliar diseases threaten maize production on the continent, namely northern leaf blight, gray leaf spot, and southern corn leaf ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2024-03)Plants from the Sceletium genus (Aizoaceae) have been traditionally used for millennia by the Khoe and Khoen people in southern Africa, as an appetite suppressant as well as a mood elevator. In more recent times, this ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2024-05)In recent decades, scarcity of available resources, population growth and the widening in the consumption of processed foods and of animal origin have made the current food system unsustainable. High-income countries ...
-
(Springer, 2024-11)Ralstonia solanacearum and R. pseudosolanacearum are well-known bacterial plant pathogens that cause significant losses to both ornamental and agricultural plants. It has been suggested that they are not the primary cause ...
