Summary: Safflower seeds have oil rich in mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids, making it an alternative for oleaginous crops in semi-arid areas. The study found that the seed oil content remained relatively high in semi-arid conditions and was composed mainly of unsaturated fatty acids, with their ratio to saturated fatty acids reaching an average value of 9. The results may assist in understanding cultivar responses under rainfed conditions and could be helpful for breeding programs.

Summary: Oils derived from non-traditional seeds, such as safflower, milk thistle, and black cumin seeds, have gained popularity due to consumer interest in healthier diets. This study examined the quality characteristics of cold-pressed seed oil during different storage times. The results showed that acidity and peroxide concentrations of the oils fluctuated over time, with significant changes observed in the odor profile of black cumin seed oil after storage.

Summary: The adoption of safflower as a crop in the Mediterranean region can contribute to climate change adaptation for farmers, due to its high oil quality and favorable agronomic traits. This field study found that early sowing, higher precipitation, and mild temperatures led to better seed and oil yield in safflower. Different genotypes showed varying responses to environmental conditions, with the linoleic-type Sabina and the oleic-type Montola 2000 performing the best in both growing seasons.

Summary: Caraway seeds contain essential oil rich in monoterpenes, with carvone and limonene as the main components. The study showed that foliar application of micronutrients, particularly manganese, can enhance the content of carvone and limonene in caraway seed oil, as well as affect certain fatty acids. Further research is needed to explore the potential positive effects of manganese foliar spray on caraway oil seed quality through adjustments in dosage and spraying timing.

Summary: Inoculation with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), such as Pseudomonas sivasensis 2RO45, can improve crop productivity by modifying the taxonomic structure and functional dynamics of the rhizosphere microbiome. This study found that P. sivasensis 2RO45 did not significantly alter the diversity of the native soil microbiota, but it increased the abundance of plant beneficial microorganisms and enhanced the metabolic activity of the microbial communities in the canola rhizosphere. The study provides new insights into PGPR-canola interactions for sustainable agriculture development.

Summary: Replacing up to 210g/kg of alfalfa with edible button mushroom waste (EM) had positive effects on the production, fermentation potential, gas production rate, metabolizable energy, and short-chain fatty acids. The study suggests that EM can be used as an alternative part of the diet forage in the ruminant's diet due to its physical properties, chemical composition, nutritional value, and low cost.

Summary: The study found that shortening the dry period can improve the metabolic status of heat-stressed transition dairy cows without decreasing total milk yield. Additionally, accounting for additional milk yield before calving can compensate for the loss of milk production resulting from shortening the dry period.

Summary: The study found that when the length of haploblocks is properly characterized, covariates suitable for haplotype alleles instead of SNPs will improve the accuracy of the genome. Longer haploblocks are more negatively affected by increasing the frequency threshold, leading to a greater impact on accuracy and bias.
