Speed breeding is an advanced and innovative plant breeding approach designed to accelerate crop improvement by shortening generation time under controlled environmental conditions and has garnered...

Advancements in breeding technologies for enhancing mustard yield and stress resilience: A comprehensive review

Mustard (Brassica juncea) is a major oilseed crop, yet its yield and stability are constrained by a narrow genetic base and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses under changing climates. Although substantial...

Development of fisheries in China

Fisheries is a social production sector that captures and farms fish and other aquatic animals and plants for aquatic products. In a broad sense, fisheries also include upstream departments (e.g., manufacturing,...

Therapeutic potential of carnitine and N-Acetyl-Cysteine supplementation on sperm parameters and pregnancy outcomes in idiopathic male infertility: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of L-carnitine (LC), L-acetyl-carnitine (LAC), and N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) on sperm parameters and pregnancy outcomes in men with...

Study on mate choice in animals

Sexual selection is critical to animal reproduction. Mate choice not only determines an individual's capacity for reproduction but is also the primary mode of selection in sexual selection. Mate choice...

Genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance in Iranian local rice genotypes for yield, and some agronomic traits

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a cornerstone of global food security, providing 20 % of the world's dietary energy and serving as a staple for half the global population. In Iran, rice supports food supply...

Current status and application of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) germplasm resources

Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides, LB) is an important aquaculture and fishing species in the world. LB has been introduced into China since 1983, and its aquaculture production has increased year...

From bench to bedside: Mouse models in translating infertility research to clinical applications in assisted reproduction

The use of animal models, principally mice, has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of reproductive biology. Mice serve as a powerful tool due to their genetic and physiological similarities...

Impact of NPK, FYM and Vermicompost on growth and yield of radish (Raphanus sativus L.)

An investigation was conducted at the Horticulture field Invertis University, Bareilly with a study “Impact of NPK, FYM and Vermicompost on growth and yield of radish (Raphanus sativus L.)” during rabi...

Successful live births after Chinese herbal medicine treatment on a patient of advanced maternal age with severe diminished ovarian reserve: A case report

The fecundity of women decreases significantly beginning approximately at age 35 and decreases more rapidly after age 40. Age affects not only the size of the oocyte pool but also the quality of germ...

Combining ability of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes for yield and related traits with silicon fertilization

Silicon (Si), a chemical element, enhances sustainable wheat productivity by improving plant turgidity, nutrient uptake, enhancing beneficial microbial effects and improving yield under drought conditions....

Assessment of genetic variation, heritability, and genetic advance among elite sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench] genotypes for yield and yield associated traits under moisture stress areas

In dry lowland regions of the world, sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench) is a significant crop extensively farmed for food, feed, fodder, and fuel. Despite extensive breeding work, sorghum production...

Seed morphological screening improves germination efficiency but poorly predicts selfing in Eucalyptus hybrids

Breeding strategies in commercial Eucalyptus plantations have largely relied on crosses among hybrid genotypes, resulting in the recurrent selection of a limited number of superior clones. In this context,...

Analysis of correlation and path coefficient of yield and yield-related traits among the elite sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.)Moench] genotypes in dry lowland areas of Ethiopia

Sorghum [Sorghumbicolor(L.) Moench] is an important cereal crop widely grown in arid and semi-arid regions worldwide. Understanding the relationships between grain yield and its component traits is...

Generation of fast-growth grass carp by mutation of mstnb via CRISPR/Cas9 system

Myostatin (mstn) is a highly conserved negative regulator of myogenesis and myofiber growth in vertebrates. In recent years, the CRISPR/Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats)...

Genomic and phylogenetic analysis of SQUAMOSA-PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE gene family in Carthamus tinctorius L

The SPL gene family plays a vital role in important processes such as leaf development, flowering, interaction with hormonal pathways, and response to environmental stresses, and its study is essential...

Innovation of Siluriformes fish germplasm and its research progress

Siluriformes fish are widely distributed across China and are highly favored by consumers for their strong adaptability, rapid growth, palatable flesh, and low number of intermuscular bones. These attributes...

Performance of selected North African barley genotypes based on agro-morphological and physiological traits under field conditions in Morocco

As climate change accelerates, the impact on barley production, particularly in water-limited regions, is becoming more pronounced. This study assesses the physiological and agronomic responses of nine...
