Summary: Drought has negative effects on the physiological and biochemical characteristics of crops. This study aimed to investigate the effects of biostimulants containing PGPR on tomato seedlings under different irrigation levels. The results showed that biostimulant applications mitigated the adverse effects of drought stress and improved plant growth parameters. The most effective dose was 4 L ha(-1) under drought conditions.

Summary: Research showed that fungi from the Trichoderma genus can promote plant growth and improve fruit quality in organic tomato cultivation, with a more significant effect on the Gruzanski zlatni cultivar. By altering the nitrogen balance index in leaves and fruit composition, Trichoderma fungi can induce plant secondary metabolism and increase flavonoid content in fruit.

Summary: This study evaluated seed germination performance and seedling vigour traits of several Solanum pennellii introgression lines (IL's) and selected ideal lines for seed germination and vigour. Candidate genes for seed germination and vigour were identified through a multi-trait index and the closest IL's to the ideotype were determined. Fine mapping, validation, and further investigation of these candidate genes will provide valuable insights into the genetics of seed quality.

Summary: Minimizing the consumption of agrochemicals, particularly nitrogen, is essential for sustainable agricultural production. This study developed controlled-release fertilizers using a biobased nanocomposite of lignin and bentonite clay mineral, which greatly improved nitrogen use efficiency and enhanced the growth, yield, and fruit quality of tomato plants under field conditions.

Summary: This study investigated the etiology of tomato anthracnose in commercial tomato farms in Malaysia. A total of 22 fungal isolates obtained from anthracnosed tomato fruits were identified as Colletotrichum species using morphological characteristics. The phylogenetic relationships and pathogenicity tests confirmed the presence of C. truncatum causing anthracnose disease on tomato fruits.

Summary: Appropriate foliar application of zinc (Zn) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) is crucial for the growth and yield of tomatoes. The effects of foliar application of Zn and ZnO-NPs on tomato production were investigated in a pot experiment conducted at Universiti Putra Malaysia. Results showed that the foliar application of 100 ppm ZnO-NPs had the best performance in terms of growth parameters, yield, and quality traits of tomatoes.

Summary: Drought stress is a major factor affecting agricultural production by negatively impacting plant growth and metabolism. Previous research has shown that viruses, such as the tomato yellow leaf curl virus, can enhance a plant's ability to tolerate both drought and heat stress. However, the underlying mechanisms for this induced drought tolerance need further investigation.

Summary: Local sweet pepper varieties show better adaptation and resilience to environmental variables. Unfertilized plants exhibited reduced growth, while shading avoidance mechanisms led to changes in biomass allocation, leaf area, and photosynthetic apparatus characteristics. Further exploration of the effects on yield and fruit quality of Altino ecotype is warranted.

Summary: Crop diversification is considered as a tool to enhance productivity and environmental performance in organic horticulture. This study investigated the introduction of faba beans in a tomato cropping system and found that strip cropping did not consistently improve tomato production and quality. However, faba bean residues could provide sufficient nitrogen for tomato production.

Summary: Through three field experiments conducted in Teramo, Italy, the study collected vegetation spectral reflectance data, combining nitrogen supply and spinach genotypes, to find the spectral band relationship with nitrate concentration. The study found that combining blue-cyan and early near-infrared spectral regions into Vegetation Indexes can correlate with nitrate content, with an R-2 value of up to 0.65. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of focusing on a few spectral regions in acquiring accurate and stable information on nitrate content in spinach.
