Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsClimate-Driven Productivity Responses and Implications for Genetic Adaptation and Breeding of Boreal Trees in KazakhstanZhadyra Baigazakova, Kuralay Mazarzhanova, Asset Satayev et al.Kazakhstan’s boreal and forest-steppe forests form the southern ecotonal edge of the West Siberian taiga, where relatively small changes in heat and moisture can trigger disproportionate impacts on tree growth, mortality, and regeneration. Although forests cover only ~4% of Kazakhstan, they provide critical ecosystem services: stabilizing hydrological regimes, buffering microclimates, protecting agricultural lands from wind and water erosion, and supporting … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 10 Aug 2026 · 709 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPod Shattering and Seed Shedding Resistance Indicators in the Soybean Collection and Hybrid PopulationsSagit Islambek, Didorenko Svetlana, Rinat Kasenov et al.Early pod shatter is a critical factor contributing to soybean yield loss, with potential losses ranging from 34 to 99%. When shatter-resistant genotypes are grown in different agro-climatic zones, there is often a loss of this resistance. Therefore, there is a need for a more detailed critical analysis of breeding methods and strategies to reduce soybean pod shatter. It has … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 25 Nov 2025 · 2,022 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Mother Plant and Somatic Embryo Registry for the Propagation and Conservation of Artificial Seeds of the Orchid Phragmipedium kovachiiOsber Cunia, Manuel Oliva, Segundo G. Chavez et al.Phragmipedium kovachii, is an endemic orchid that naturally inhabits the humid zones of the Amazonas region in Peru. Currently, it has been extracted from its natural habitat, listed as critically endangered by CITES, suggesting searching for conservation strategies in vitro and in situ. Therefore, this research established an in vitro protocol to obtain and conserve artificial seed, through four events: … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 8 Jul 2024 · 5,302 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Bradyrhizobium japonicum on Some Chemical Properties of Ferralsols under Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) CultivationBen Tshibuyi Kasu-Bandi, Laurent Kidinda Kidinda, Germain Nyembo Kasendue et al.This study was conducted on acidic soils in two different agro-ecological zones in order to evaluate the influence of Bradyrhizobium japonicum on soil chemical properties in the Upper-Katanga (DR Congo). A split plot design with three replicates was installed in two sites. The main plots included three strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum plus the untreated control and four soybean varieties in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 17 Oct 2019 · 7,618 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Potassium Levels on Antioxidant Enzymes and Malondialdehyde Content under Drought Stress in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)H. Soleimanzadeh, D. Habibi, M.R. Ardakani et al.Problem Statement: Drought stress as a major adverse factor can lower leaf water potential, leading to reduced turgor and some other responses and ultimately lower crop productivity in arid and semi arid zones. Sunflower is one of the main oil seed crops in Iran, where drought stress is the most limiting factor. Drought stress tolerance requires the activation of complex … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,779 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction of Essential Oil from Nigella sativa Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide: Study of Antibacterial ActivityNagi A. Alhaj, Mariana N. Shamsudin, Hana F. Zamri, Rasedee AbdullahThe antimicrobial activity of N. sativa essential oil obtained by supercritical fluid extraction by carbon dioxide was investigated against Gram Positive and Gram negative strains, isolated from clinical specimens. Best conditions for Black cumin oil extraction are obtained at 400 bar, 40°C and a solvent flow rate of 25 g min-1. The seed extracts were prepared by supercritical fluid extraction … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,205 accessesView PDF Cite
