Increasing food security and water shortages need creative agricultural methods, especially in dry places like Algeria. This research examines an Arduino-controlled smart greenhouse system for hydroponic barley growing, addressing the demand resource-efficient farming. The experiment at University of Tebessa (34°09'16"N, 8°07'44"E) used a semi-cylindrical (0.65m × 0.70m 0.65m) with DHT22 sensors temperature humidity monitoring, photoresistors lighting control, controlled watering systems. approach yielded 26% more (120g vs. 95g) 10 weeks instead 12 weeks. Compared to soil-based approaches, use efficiency reached 50 g/L, 70-90% decrease. Optimizing energy usage 150 kWh saved 9% over prior systems (165 kWh). To achieve 95% nutrient absorption efficiency, automated control maintained ideal growth conditions 20-25°C 60-80% relative humidity. conventional key performance indicators revealed significant improvements: average plant height grew by 18%, tiller count increased 33%, leaf area extended 1000 cm². A design spatial 20% reduced disease outbreaks 10%. These findings show that Arduino-based technology may boost production minimize resource usage, making it viable alternative sustainable agriculture locations.

Annually, the cost of insect pest control in agriculture crosses billions dollars around world. Until recently, broad-spectrum synthetic pesticides were considered as most effective means agriculture. However, over years, overreliance on has caused adverse effects beneficial insects, human health and environment, led to development pesticide resistant insects. There is a critical need for alternative management strategies aiming minimum use conservation natural enemies maintaining ecological balance environment. Host plant resistance plays vital role integrated but insect-resistant varieties through conventional ways host takes time, challenging it involves many quantitative traits positioned at various loci. Biotechnological approaches such gene editing, transformation, marker-assisted selection etc. this direction have recently opened up new era options. These could contribute towards about exploring much wider array novel insecticidal genes that would otherwise be beyond scope breeding. interventions can alter expression level pattern well transgenic with improve by providing access molecules. This review will discuss emerging biotechnological tools available develop engineered crop genotypes better ability resist attack pests.

Abstract Crop domestication is a co-evolutionary process that has rendered plants and animals significantly dependent on human interventions for survival propagation. Grain legumes have played an important role in the development of Neolithic agriculture some 12,000 years ago. Despite being early companions cereals origin evolution agriculture, understanding grain legume lagged behind cereals. Adapting use resulted distinct morpho-physiological changes between wild ancestors domesticates, this distinction been focus several studies aimed at genetic diversity bottlenecks created. Growing evidence from research archeological remains, combined with analysis geographical distribution forms, improved resolution domestication, diversification crop improvement. In review, we summarize significance relatives as reservoirs novel variation breeding programs. We describe key features, which evolved response to anthropogenic activities. Here, highlight how whole genome sequencing incorporation omics-level data expanded our capacity monitor accompanying these processes. Finally, present perspective alternative routes centered de novo re-domestication impart significant agronomic advances crops over existing commodities. A finely resolved history will uncover future targets develop modern cultivars enriched alleles improve yield, quality stress tolerance.
