Water deficit is one of the major factors limiting the photosynthetic productivity of plants. Under drought conditions, the decline in CO2 assimilation may result not only from stomatal limitations, but also from impaired ...

In the Republic of Moldova, there is a long-standing tradition of cultivating and using aromatic herbs in culinary practices. Beyond enhancing the flavor of meat and vegetable dishes, these herbs contribute to digestive ...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae baker’s yeasts represent a promising platform for bakery biotechnology, particularly when cultivated using nutrient media derived from wastes such as fruit and vegetable peels. These low-cost ...

A plant’s ability to maintain productivity under extreme temperatures and drought depends on its genotype and stress response. Therefore, current research focuses on identifying corn lines and hybrids with high germination ...

Glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine, GP) is one of the most widely used herbicides globally. It inhibits 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), a key enzyme of the shikimate pathway present inplants, algae, ...

Nanotechnology is increasingly applied in agriculture due to the unique properties of nanoparticles and nanomaterials, while green synthesis has emerged as an environmentally friendly approach for obtaining plant-active ...

The entomophagous Bracon hebetorSay (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a larval ectoparasitoid used as a biological control agent against lepidopteran pests of the Pyralidae family. Due to its high reproductive capacity and short ...

The intensification of global agricultural production in response to a rapidly growing population has led to extensive reliance on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, which, despite their short-term agronomic efficacy, ...

To protect crops, farmers are increasingly resorting to chemical control of insects. However, chemicals not only destroy harmful insects but also have significant environmental consequences, such as inducing resistance or ...

The reintroduction into cultivation of resilient, native, or historically cultivated species such as flax (Linum usitatissimumL.) represents an opportunity for sustainable agriculture, as these species demonstrate a higher ...
