Reducing sowing density and changing the planting pattern increases the lodging resistance in durum wheat while maintaining yields
Durum wheat has extremely low resistance to Fusarium head blight and pre-harvest sprouting; therefore, the damage caused by these disorders is severe when lodging occurs. In this study, we verified the effects of reduced sowing density and different planting patterns on culm traits related to…

Root water uptake and photosynthesis synergistically enhance drought tolerance in interspecific hybrid sugarcane
Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids) is a globally important crop for food and bioenergy, but its production is increasingly threatened by drought driven by climate change. Drought causes complex interactions between root function and leaf photosynthesis, but their underlying mechanisms remain…

Evaluation of canopy photosynthetic rate in erect-panicle rice using a photosynthetic model
Erect-panicle rice has the potential to improve rice production owing to its unique leaf canopy structure and high leaf nitrogen content (LNC). However, limiting information is available regarding its canopy photosynthesis of erect-panicle rice. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of…

Evaluation of relay intercropping hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) as a green manure to reduce chemical fertilizer input in the cultivation of root crops
Producing cash and green manure crops during the same growing season is a promising strategy for sustainable crop production. The present study evaluated the relay intercropping of a legume green manure crop (Vicia villosa Roth, hairy vetch) and root crops (radish and carrot). The hairy vetch was…

Potential plant traits and mechanisms behind methane emissions in rice and target genes for further dissection of their roles
Rice fields are among the leading global agricultural sources of anthropogenic methane emissions, with the rice plant tissue playing a central role in the generation of methane (CH4) and the emission process. Due to the variability of methane emissions trends across studies, contrasting rice plant…

Chloroplasts, mitochondria, and peroxisomes form clusters in mesophyll cells of rice (Oryza sativa)
Chloroplasts, mitochondria, and peroxisomes are consistently positioned in close proximity with physical contact in mesophyll cells, as shown by two-dimensional transmission electron microscopy observations. However, the three-dimensional arrangement of these organelles has not yet been…

Deep root system architecture from a combination of DRO1 and qRL6.1 maintains high photosynthesis during rice grain-filling in paddy fields
The source capacity affects grain yields. Many efforts have been made to enhance grain yields by introducing quantitative trait loci (QTLs) responsible for shoot-related traits associated with source capacity. Root-related traits could improve the source capacity by improving the uptake of water…

Vermicompost Improves Resilience to Drought through Changes in Morpho-Physiological and Biochemical Traits in Wheat Seedlings
Drought stress poses a major threat to the morphological and physiological processes of wheat. Vermicompost application can help alleviate these effects under water scarcity. This study investigated the protective role of rice straw vermicompost on the nutritional, biochemical, morphological, and…

Unraveling the genetic basis of fertility restoration in hybrid rice: insights from CMS lines and male restorer analyses
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) serves as the staple food for over half of the global population. To address the pressing need for increased rice production, hybrid rice technology leverages the concept of hybrid vigor, or heterosis, achieving a 15–20% yield advantage over traditional varieties. This study…

Multi-trait evaluation of maize hybrids for yield stability under maize–soybean strip intercropping in Southwest China
Maize–soybean strip intercropping is promoted in Southwest China to improve land use and diversify crop production, but maize hybrids vary in their ability to maintain yield under this system. Selection based on mean grain yield alone may overlook year-to-year variation, lodging risk, disease…

Yield and late sowing limits of soybean in southwestern Japan
The response to sowing date is one of the most important aspects of soybean production. When developing a sowing plan, it is important for farmers to know the final maturation day, as well as the expected seed yield. This study aimed to determine the physiological limit for late soybean sowing and…

Technological development and future prospects of dry direct seeding using plowing and compaction for paddy-field crop rotation systems incorporating maize in the Tohoku region, Japan
In the Tohoku region of Japan, a cold-climate area, paddy-field agriculture faces challenges due to the aging population, the decline in farming labor, and the prolonged decline in the price of rice. These factors have accelerated the adoption of labor-saving, low-cost cultivation methods, such as…

Soil heterogeneity as a key determinant of climate change impacts and adaptation for food security in the Sudan Savanna of West Africa
The Sudan Savanna, a major agricultural region in West Africa, faces growing food insecurity driven by population growth, soil degradation, and climate change. In this region, climate variability, crop production, nutrient dynamics, and farm-level outcomes are closely interconnected, yet research…

Stage‑dependent bias and practical leaf area index estimations derived from the LAI‑2200C plant canopy analyzer in soybean canopies
Leaf area index (LAI) is fundamental for estimating canopy radiation interception and yield. Although the LAI-2200C Plant Canopy Analyzer enables non‑destructive measurements, its default assumptions are difficult to satisfy in row‑planted soybean, where canopy structure and leaf‑angle distribution…

Establishment of a sustainable cultivation and utilization system for the energy crop Erianthus
As a countermeasure against the depletion of fossil fuels and global warming, the use of biomass energy as a renewable energy source is attracting attention. In the cultivation and utilization of energy crops, it is essential to avoid competition with food production and to establish low-input…

Three-dimensional analysis of Kranz anatomy in finger millet (Eleusine coracana), an NAD-ME-type C4 crop
Kranz anatomy in C4 leaves is characterized by the arrangement of mesophyll cells (MC) and bundle sheath cells (BSC) around the vascular bundle. Although this organization has been described in 2D cross-sections, 3D analysis provides quantitative information on cell geometry and organization at the…

Quantitative trait loci for salinity resilience both at seedling and reproductive stages detected from a novel salinity tolerant rice genotype
Salinity is a key abiotic stress affecting about 1.2 million hectares of arable land in Bangladesh’s coastal regions impacting agriculture and food security, with figures increasing over decades (Recent report of SRDI). Here, IR58443-6B-10–3, an IRRI genotype exhibiting high salinity tolerance at…

Effect of crack treatment on soybean yield in close mixed-planting with rice
Soybean production in converted paddy fields is frequently constrained by poor drainage and transient waterlogging. This study evaluated whether crack treatment that creates vertical cracks in the subsoil enhances soybean yield under rice–soybean close mixed-planting. A five-year field experiment…

Smart-Valleys: a scalable, nature-based and locally led approach for sustainable intensification in inland valleys in Africa
Inland valleys, spanning 190 million ha, hold significant potential for rice intensification to achieve rice self-sufficiency in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Despite this potential, they remained underutilized due to persistent constraints such as hydrological risks (drought, flooding and poor…

Precision drill sowing in seedling trays combined with narrow hill spacing improves yield performance in machine-transplanted high-quality hybrid rice
Precision drill sowing in seedling trays offers an innovative seedling-raising approach to reducing sowing rates per tray and thereby decreasing seed input and production costs in machine-transplanted high-quality hybrid rice production. However, farmers may be concerned that reduced seed input…
