The CsphyB–CsPIF4–CsBRC1 module regulates ABA biosynthesis and axillary bud outgrowth in cucumber In cucumber, the phytochrome-interacting factor CsPIF4 interacts with the phytochrome CsphyB and binds to the promoter of BRANCHED1 to activate its expression. BRANCHED1 promotes expression of the ab...

Pangenome and genome variation analyses of pigs unveil genomic facets for their adaptation and agronomic characteristics The development of a comprehensive pig graph pangenome assembly encompassing 27 genomes represents the most extensive collection of pig genomic data to date. Analysis of this pangenome reveals the cr...

The "Cover Crop Challenge" was a semester-long activity in which students designed and evaluated #CoverCrop mixtures. Surveys indicated that students highly valued the activity, which taught them #ecological, #agronomic, and #economic principles related to cover cropping.

Very happy to see some #agronomic results on #CropYields. Tomato yields reduced by 25%, but peppers increased by 20% as solar panel density increased. 13% improvement in water efficiency 💦 🍅 🌶️
