Context: Sustainable livestock production depends on efficient pasture management and the continuous monitoring of the health of grazing animals.
Objectives: This study investigated the effects of pasture types and sheep production systems on the hematological traits of Karacabey Merino (German Mutton Merino × Kıvırcık) ewes and lambs grazing on different pasture types throughout the year and reared in a semi-intensive system (control group).
Methods: In this twenty-six-month study, the hematological characteristics of ewes and lambs grazing on natural pastures and in spring (triticale and oat grass pasture), summer (sorghum Sudangrass and wheat stubble pasture), and autumn (triticale and oat grass pasture) were compared with ewes and lambs reared in a semi-intensive system (no pasture for lambs).

Evaluating salt tolerance based on agro-physiological traits is resource-intensive when testing numerous genotypes under both control and saline conditions. Focusing specifically on stress conditions may streamlines the process while effectively revealing the physiological mechanisms underlying salt tolerance in genotypes. This study investigated whether control treatments are necessary for accurate salt tolerance assessment by analyzing 22 wheat genotypes under real field conditions with control and 150 mM NaCl salinity.

Fumonisins, primarily produced by spp. and , are common contaminants in maize, cereal grains, and other processed and derived products, representing a significant risk to food safety and public health. This study presents the development and optimisation of a high-performance liquid chromatography method with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) for the quantification of fumonisin B1 (FB1) and B2 (FB2) in various food matrices.

Background: Spikelet number, a core phenotypic parameter for wheat yield composition, requires precise estimation through accurate spike contour extraction and differentiation between grain surfaces and spikelet surfaces. However, technical challenges persist in precise spike segmentation under complex field backgrounds and morphological differentiation between grain/spikelet surfaces.
Method: Building on two-year multi-angle wheat spike imagery, we propose an enhanced YOLOv9-LDS multi-scale object detection framework.

The Qinghai Plateau's high-altitude conditions present significant challenges for wheat cultivation, demanding varieties with enhanced adaptability and stress resistance. However, the genetic basis for key traits like grain yield and stress tolerance in wheat adapted to these conditions remains poorly understood. This knowledge is crucial for developing wheat varieties that can thrive in the harsh environment of the Qinghai Plateau.
