The Importance of the Glomus Genus as a Potential Candidate for Sustainable Agriculture Under Arid Environments: A Review

International Journal of Plant Biology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 16(1), С. 32 - 32

Опубликована: Март 3, 2025

Drought and salinity are major factors that hinder crop cultivation significantly impair agricultural productivity, particularly in (semi)arid regions. These two abiotic constraints cause deterioration soil structure reduced fertility hamper plant growth by limiting access to mineral elements water, thereby threatening global food security. What’s more, the excessive, long-term use of chemical fertilizers boost productivity can disrupt balance ecosystems, health. Faced with these challenges, sustainable exploitation natural resources, particular rhizospheric microorganisms, is an environmentally friendly solution. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi play important role as biofertilizers due their symbiotic relationship roots nearly 80% plants. They promote not only host plants but also resistance stresses. Among fungi, Glomus genus stands out for its predominance plants’ rhizosphere thanks richness high-performance species ecological adaptability. This review highlights importance within this soils, terrestrial ecosystems subject (semi-)arid climates. Molecular mechanisms underlying tolerance drought salt stress symbiosis explored.

Perspective Chapter: Job Creation as a Catalyst for Poverty Alleviation in South Africa

IntechOpen eBooks, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 26, 2025

Poverty remains a global challenge, exacerbated by economic downturns, national debt, and systemic inequalities, particularly in developing regions like Sub-Saharan Africa. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s 2024 G20 Summit address highlighted the urgent need to these interconnected crises, emphasising Africa’s disproportionate vulnerability challenges such as stagnation, debt burdens, climate change. This study critically examines poverty inequality Africa, focusing on structural barriers that perpetuate socio-economic divides despite country’s classification an upper-middle-income nation. Drawing multidisciplinary sources, including public reports, academic literature, political discourse, research highlights disconnect between rhetoric government officials on-the-ground realities. Findings reveal interventions often default short-term solutions social grants, which, while providing immediate relief, fail roots of poverty, limited education, inadequate job creation, unequal access resources. The argues for paradigm shift from rhetorical commitments actionable strategies, capacity building, equitable resource distribution. calls accountability, transparency, community involvement policy implementation bridge gap results. By addressing inequality, it how nations Africa can drive sustainable empowerment hold leaders accountable meaningful alleviation.

Heat stress in plants: sensing, signalling and ferroptosis

Journal of Experimental Botany, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Июль 10, 2024

In the current context of global warming, high temperature events are becoming more frequent and intense in many places around world. this context, understanding how plants sense respond to heat is essential develop new tools prevent plant damage address food security, as threatening agricultural sustainability. This review summarizes integrates our underlying cellular, physiological, biochemical molecular regulatory pathways triggered under moderately extremely conditions. Given that temperatures can also trigger ferroptosis, study cell death mechanism constitutes a strategic approach understand might overcome otherwise lethal events.

Trends and Challenges in Plant Cryopreservation Research: A Meta-Analysis of Cryoprotective Agent Development and Research Focus

Plants, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(3), С. 447 - 447

Опубликована: Фев. 3, 2025

The stable long-term preservation of plant cells is crucial for biopharmaceuticals and food security. Therefore, the cryopreservation using a cryoprotective agent (CPA) area study. However, research on low-toxicity CPAs remains limited. We analyzed 1643 abstracts related to plant-cryopreservation (PCP) published from 1967 May 2023, spanning 56 years, academic citation databases, with search conducted in 2023. Grouping these by five-year intervals revealed an increase PCP papers until 2015, followed decline 2020s. In order confirm declining trend, we performed text-mining analysis Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) algorithm, which identifies underlying topics across diverse documents aid decision-making classified into three distinct topics: Topic 1, “Seed bank”; 2, “Physiology”; 3, “Cryopreservation protocol”. decline, particularly protocol” research, important observation this At same time, decrease may be due limited scope 3. expect improvements development new CPAs. This expectation based numerous ongoing studies focused developing various animal medical cell lines, particular attention polysaccharides as components that could reduce required concentrations existing

Research on the ecological–economic effects of combined planting–breeding modes: a case study of Zizania latifolia–shelduck in China

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 9

Опубликована: Март 4, 2025

In the context of global climate change, it is crucial to adopt ecologically sound production practices promote sustainable agricultural development. Combined rice–fish, rice–crab, and Zizania latifolia (ZL)–shelduck modes are increasingly advocated by scholars because complex farmland landscapes environmentally friendly nutrient cycles associated with these modes. this study, a comprehensive evaluation ecological–economic benefits combined planting–breeding system in Jinyun, Zhejiang, China, was conducted via life cycle assessment (LCA) cost–benefit analysis on basis literature review field research data. The following results were obtained. (1) single-season total carbon footprint for ZL–shelduck mode 4062.19 kg CO 2 eq/ha, whereas 4553.32 eq/ha ZL monoculture mode. Compared those mode, emissions decreased 10.79%, inputs identified as primary source both (2) net ecological economic 102,482.26 yuan/ha 70,423.60 yuan/ha, respectively. significantly increased 45.52% Notably, sale shelduck products reductions labor costs important factors leading income gap between two types This study not only provides quantitative different but also serves an reference introduction relevant compensation policies promotion win–win future.

Çevresel İletişim Ölçeği (ÇİÖ): Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

İletişim Kuram ve Araştırma Dergisi, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 69, С. 157 - 176

Опубликована: Март 18, 2025

Bireylerin toplum içerisindeki davranışları zamanla değişmekle birlikte bu davranışların psikolojik ve sosyolojik nedenlerden dolayı değişmesi beklenir. Birçok insan iletişim yoluyla davranışlarını şekillendirmekte olup iletişimin genel olarak bireyler arasında insanları ilgilendiren konular hakkında olduğu söylenebilir. Bu kapsamda çevresel konuların iletişime dâhil edilmesi söz konusudur durumun ölçülmesi son zamanlarda bir gereklilik haline gelmiştir. Çevresel konulara dikkat çekmek iletişimi ölçmek amacıyla Kassing vd., (2010) tarafından geliştirilmiş olan İletişim Ölçeği (ÇİÖ) Türkçeye uyarlanmak suretiyle ulusal literatüre katkı sağlamak ölçeğin literatürde kullanılmasıyla bireylerin algılarını ölçümlemek-ölçmek amaçlanmaktadır. araştırmanın temel sorusu “çevresel ardıl öncülleri nelerdir Türkçeleştirilebilir mi” belirlenmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında İstanbul’daki üniversitelerde görev yapmakta akademisyenlere (N=424) yönelik uygulama yapılmış, toplanan veriler AMOS 26 SPSS 25 programlarıyla analiz edilmiştir. Analiz bulgularında ilgili 20 maddelik ölçüm aracı “uygulama, reddetme onaylama” 3 alt boyuttan oluşan geçerli güvenilir ölçek sonucunda Ölçeği’nin uyarlanabilir belirlenerek sağlanmış özgün araştırma tamamlanmıştır.
