"Exploring the effects of L-DOPA on cadmium accumulation in rice through physiological and transcriptomic analyses"
Cadmium (Cd) contamination in agricultural soils poses a serious threat to crop productivity and food safety because rice ( Oryza saliva L.), one of the world's major staple crops, readily accumulates Cd in edible grains. Recent studies have...

This study aimed to enhance submergence tolerance in rice by introgressing qSUB2, located on chromosome 2, into the genetic background of FARO 66 (qSUB1). Phenotyping and genotyping were conducted across BC2F2, BC2F3 and BC3F1 populations derived...

Using the Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) framework, this study analyzed the fresh pineapple marketing system of Camarines Norte across four major pineapple producing municipalities: Basud, Labo, San Lorenzo, and San Vicente. Data from a single...

Hevea latex that contains high amount of poly(cis-1,4-isoprene), commonly known as natural rubber, is an essential raw material for producing many products that require elasticity and come from natural sources. The latex consists of various other...

The identification of maize inbred lines to distinct heterotic groups is a critical step in the development of high-yielding hybrids. Combining ability through line x tester analysis, associated with the exploitation of heterosis, is essential for...

Abiotic stresses, particularly salinity, are increasingly threatening rice production by reducing productivity and quality. CSSLs (Chromosome Segment Substitution Lines) offer a precise method for integrating beneficial genes from donor parents into...
