Soybean (Glycine max), a vital leguminous and oilseed crop, is grown globally and serves as a primary protein and oil source. Its cultivation faces significant challenges from numerous arthropod pests, which affect various growth stages and cause severe yield losses. These pests, including defoliators, stem borers, pod borers, and sucking insects,...

Nearly 60% of the world's habitats are underutilized. And current agricultural practices are blamed for contributing to soil carbon depletion and biodiversity loss. Climate change, habitat fragmentation, and other challenges hinder species development, leading to projected shifts in species distribution. This calls for alternative management strate...

Honey bee dance has been intensively studied as a communication system, and yet we still know very little about the neurobiological mechanisms supporting how dances are produced and interpreted. Here, we discuss how new information on the functions of the central complex (CX) of the insect brain might shed some light on possible neural mechanisms o...

Drought is the most common abiotic stress limiting chickpea production because chickpea is usually grown under the residual soil moisture. To identify and evaluate drought tolerant chickpea genotypes, the study was carried out during rabi season 2018 and 2019 with three biological replications at Agricultural biotechnology experiment field, SVPUAT,...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a salt sensitive leguminous crop species, but some genetic variation for salinity tolerance exists. The present study was initiated to determine the degree of salt tolerance among chickpea genotypes, and the relationship between salt tolerance and ion accumulation in leaves. The experiment was conducted in pots, in...
