Comparative Study of the Nutritional and Chemical Composition of New Oil Rape, Safflower and Mustard Seed Varieties Developed and Grown in Serbia
(Basel : MDPI, 2023)
Oilseed crops are widely cultivated and are related to nutrition and human health as
valuable nutraceutical sources with valuable biological properties. The growing demand for oil
plants used in human and animal nutrition ...
Comprehensive Metal-Based Nanopriming for Improving Seed Germination and Initial Growth of Field Pea (Pisum sativum L.)
(Basel : MDPI, 2023)
Nanopriming is a newly developed seed technology that improves seed germination, initial plant growth, and crop yield by enabling plants to withstand a variety of abiotic stresses. The objective of this study was to evaluate ...
Comprehensive meta-QTL analysis for dissecting the genetic architecture of stripe rust resistance in bread wheat
(Springer Nature, 2023)
Yellow or stripe rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) is an important disease of wheat that threatens wheat production. Since developing resistant cultivars offers a viable solution for ...
Essential Oil Quality of Lavender Grown Outside Its Native Distribution Range: A Study from Serbia
(Basel : MDPI, 2023)
The aim of this study was to test the quality (physicochemical and sensory odor properties) and bioactivity (antimicrobial and antioxidant activities) of the essential oils (EO) obtained from the most frequently cultivated ...
GEM Project-Derived Maize Lines Crossed with Temperate Elite Tester Lines Make for High-Quality, High-Yielding and Stable Silage Hybrids
(Basel : MDPI, 2023)
Maize silage is fundamental for high milk production in dairy farming. The incorporation of new genetic diversity into temperate maize germplasm has the potential to improve adapted cultivars, and it could be especially ...
Epidemiological role of novel and already known 'Ca. P. solani' cixiid vectors in rubbery taproot disease of sugar beet in Serbia
(Nature, 2023)
Rubbery taproot disease (RTD) of sugar beet was recently associated with the plant pathogenic bacterium ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ (CaPsol) and reported throughout the Pannonian Plain with variations in severity. ...
Comprehensive biochemical approach for understanding the interaction between host “common bean” and pathogen “Colletotrichum lindemuthianum” causing bean anthracnose
(Springer Nature, 2023)
Anthracnose (ANT) caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is the most devastating seed-borne fungal disease of common bean. In response to fungal infections, it is hypothesized that pathogen–plant interactions typically ...
Elemental Profile, General Phytochemical Composition and Bioaccumulation Abilities of Selected Allium Species Biofortified with Selenium under Open Field Conditions
(Basel : MDPI, 2023)
Allium species are known as a rich source of many compounds with potential healing effects. Biofortification is recognized as an effective agrotechnical measure for raising the level of biogenic elements—especially ...
Can modification of sowing date and genotype selection reduce the impact of climate change on sunflower seed production?
(Basel : MDPI, 2023)
Climate change projections for the 21st century pose great threats to semi-arid regions, impacting seed production and the quality of sunflowers. Crop yields are negatively affected by climate variability, especially in ...
Screening of Antifungal Activity of Essential Oils in Controlling Biocontamination of Historical Papers in Archives
(Basel : MDPI, 2023)
The main challenge in controlling the microbiological contamination of historical paper is finding an adequate method that includes the use of cost-effective, harmless, and non-toxic biocides whose effectiveness is maintained ...
