  1. Wheat heat-tolerance traits map to many genomic loci
    Genetic dissection of yield traits and heat tolerance in wheat using a MAGIC population identifies SNPs and major loci informing heat-resilient breeding strategies.
  2. Relative humidity predicts fire intensity in Cerrado burns
    Relative air humidity, not season alone, determines fire intensity in Cerrado savanna. Early dry season burns under low humidity match late season fire intensities.
  3. Tree-ring data matched long-term plantation growth patterns
    Tree-ring analysis efficiently reconstructs growth trajectories in Andean conifers, matching results from 20 years of field monitoring while requiring far fewer resources.
  4. Sediment extracts boosted Microcystis growth and phosphorus use
    Study examines how nutrient sources from sediment, periphyton, and cyanobacterial scum affect Microcystis growth rates and microcystin toxin production in harmful algal blooms.
  5. Optimal seedling light speed-breeding in wheat
    Optimal daily light integral of 39.6 mol m−2 d−1 during wheat seedling stage under LED lighting accelerates heading by 5.9 days and flowering by 7.5 days, advancing speed-breeding efficiency.
  6. Nutrient Uptake and Growth Kinetics of Novel Environmental Phytoplankton Isolates from the Galápagos Archipelago
    Study characterizes growth kinetics and functional traits of Galápagos phytoplankton isolates, revealing taxon-specific deviations from allometric scaling predictions.
