Summary: The spectral response of camelina under different N fertilization regimes was evaluated using remote and proximal sensing techniques. The results showed that N fertilization significantly affected seed yield and N use efficiency, with the best results obtained at basal dressing at sowing (T2). The rise in air temperatures in 2022 led to a reduction in plant development and seed yield. The study also demonstrated the feasibility of utilizing remote sensing techniques from UAVs for predicting seed yield in camelina.

Summary: The study found that maize and winter wheat yield and yield components in different agricultural subregions of Croatia were influenced by soil tillage and nitrogen rate. The highest yields were achieved at the Magadenovac site with N2 and N3, while the lowest yields were recorded on NT. Winter wheat had maximum yield on N3 and N2 at the Magadenovac site.

Summary: This study evaluated the yield and quality of camelina after the application of organic fertilizers, finding positive effects on yield components but negative impacts on fat content. The environmental assessment identified fertilization and transport as main hotspots, suggesting reducing distances and optimizing fertilization rates for minimizing environmental impacts.

Summary: Heat stress is a major constraint for tomato production, affecting growth and fruit yield. This study evaluated the performance of different tomato genotypes under optimal, high temperature field, and high temperature greenhouse conditions. Genotypes CLN1621L, CLN2026D, CLN3212C, and KK1 showed consistently higher fruit yield, while Neang Tamm exhibited good heat tolerance under high temperature conditions. Genotypes CLN1621L and Neang Tamm are potential candidates for breeding programs aimed at improving yield and heat stress tolerance.

Summary: Understanding how plants respond to environmental conditions is crucial for plant growth. This paper proposes using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model to predict plant response to environmental conditions in a Chinese Solar Greenhouse to improve crop production systems. Comprehensive data collection has been conducted in a greenhouse environment to validate the proposed prediction model. The results show that the Bayesian Neural Networks (BNN) models accurately predict crop performance.

Summary: The effects of phosphorus addition on plant growth and soil characteristics in response to nitrogen deposition in a dryland ecosystem were studied. The results showed that phosphorus addition had significant effects on plant traits and soil properties, but had no significant effect on soil bacterial communities.

Summary: Cowpeas in sub-Saharan Africa exhibit increased yields when inoculated with efficient rhizobial strains, especially in favorable climatic conditions. However, the advantages of using inoculated seeds are reduced in very dry and hot years. Simulations show that average yield differences between non-inoculated and inoculated cowpeas range from 0.1 t/ha to over 1 t/ha depending on the climate scenario. Therefore, the effectiveness of inoculated cowpea seeds is more pronounced in the near future compared to the far future when instances of dry and hot years are expected to increase.

Summary: This study presents a comprehensive approach using phenomics and global transcriptomics to analyze the plant response to biostimulants. Tomato plants were treated with an Ascophyllum nodosum extract at different doses and stages, and the results showed an improvement in net photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, and fruit yield across all culture conditions. Transcriptomic analysis revealed differentially expressed genes and enrichment pathways related to stimulus-response and photosynthesis. This study is the first to profile plant responses to biostimulants using a dual-omics approach across different culture conditions.

Summary: Ice plant is a halophyte known for its antioxidant activity and functional food properties. This study found that a 100 mmol L-1 NaCl treatment led to slight increases in shoot dry weight and leaf area, while higher salinity levels resulted in decreased shoot biomass. Additionally, the concentration of certain compounds like proline, glutathione, ascorbic acid, and vitamin C increased with higher salt concentrations.

Summary: The study revealed that sesame genotypes BD-7008 and BD-6985 exhibited higher tolerance to waterlogging, while BD-6996 and JP-01811 were the most sensitive. Waterlogging negatively impacted plant growth and yield, with the most severe effects observed when it occurred within 30 days after sowing.

Summary: This study investigated the agronomic performance of seven barley genotypes under three tillage systems in two different agro-ecological regions. The results showed that the rainfed barley genotypes performed equally or better under conservation agriculture compared to conventional tillage, while reduced tillage system had a negative impact on their performance. Different genotypes exhibited varying levels of adaptation to different tillage systems.
