Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManagement of Source-Sink Balance for Maintaining Seed Vigor and Storability of MaizeSirinthorn Kaewchuai, Pitipong Thobunluepop, Sutkhet Nakasathien et al.Defoliation was the major factor which directly affected to maize seed yield and quality basis on source-sink relationship. Thus, the objectives were to study the effect of source-sink balance management on corn seed vigor and storability and to determine the effect of defoliation treatments on maize yield, yield components and produced seed germination traits. The experiment was arranged basis on … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 9 Jul 2021 · 6,952 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeasonal Variations in Semen Quality of Pasundan Bulls in their Native Tropical EnvironmentNurul Isnaini, Tri Harsi, Anggit Damaratri Lapoliwa et al.The success of artificial insemination highly depends on the semen quality, in which it may significantly associate with the environmental factor. However, the information regarding the seasonal effects on semen quality of Pasundan bulls is still scarce. This study aimed to examine seasonal variation in semen quality of Pasundan bulls in their native environment.

Habitat Characterization and Population Dynamics in a Periurban Lake (Xochimilco, México)Latournerié-Cervera José Román, Rangel-Nambo María Isabel, Alma Rosa Estrada-OrtegaChirostoma Jordani is an endemic species of the Mexican plateau, whose population, due to anthropogenic causes, has experienced a notable decrease from 2000 to the present, putting its permanence in its natural habitat at risk. Therefore, the objectives of this research were focused on evaluating the population dynamics of C. Jordani through its size and weight distributions and growth rate … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2021 · 7,546 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Context-Aware Temporal Convolutional Network for Water Replacement Prediction in Catfish Biofloc Ponds With Imbalanced Event HandlingYaddarabullah, Inanpi Hidayati Sumiasih, Mutiara Dewi PuspitawatiWater replacement is a biologically critical yet under-automated decision in biofloc-based aquaculture systems. Mistimed actions can destabilize microbial ecosystems, elevate fish mortality, and compromise sustainability through excessive water usage. Traditional rule-based heuristics often fail to account for the nonlinear and multiscale dynamics of pond environments. To address this, we propose a Context-Aware Temporal Convolutional Network (CA-TCN), a rare-event classification framework … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 5 Mar 2026 · 1,664 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants.
