Genes and QTLs discovery for sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) breeding traits: A review

Sesame is a multi-purpose high-value oilseed crop, which can beused in the food, feed, and cosmetics applications. The low yield of sesame is due to the lack of high-yielding and locally adapted varieties,...

Current trends and future directions in avocado oil research: An overview and a bibliometric analysis across two time points

Avocados, including the peels and seeds, have beneficial nutritional value and can be processed into oils. To understand the trends and promote the use of avocado waste, it is essential to ascertain...

Enhancing China's agri-food security: Palms as alternative oil crops under U.S.-China trade war

The 2025 U.S.-China Trade War has intensified the vulnerability of China's oil supply chain due to heavy reliance on soybean imports, posing serious challenges to food security. This study examines...

Review on contaminants in edible oil and analytical technologies

Edible oil is an important part of the human daily diet, which is popular in the food industry. People are paying increasing attention to the safety of edible oil as flawed oils have caused enormous...

Worldwide rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) research: A bibliometric analysis during 2011–2021

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is the world's second produced oilseed and accounts for nearly 12% of world major vegetable oil production. For the last 10 years, the production, planting area, and yield...

Research status of soybean symbiosis nitrogen fixation

Soybean (Glycine max) is one of the most important economic legume crops with largest planting area, and is also an important oil crop, as well as food and feed material. Soybean-rhizobia symbiosis...

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) identifies genetic loci and candidate genes for variation in protein and oil content in Sesamum indicum L.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an ancient diploid oilseed crop valued for its high oil content, quality protein, unsaturated fatty acids, and antioxidants. The emerging research focuses on the utilization...

The research process of clubroot disease and related control strategies in Brassica

Brassica clubroot caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae has been identified as a severe soil-borne disease that poses a significant threat to plants root systems. The disease results in the formation of...

Degradation and resynthesis of chlorophyll during increased oxidative stress and prolonged darkness differ between annual and perennial flax (Linum L.)

Among plants, there is considerable variation in lifespan: annuals live less than one year, whereas perennials live for several years, with the longest-living perennial having survived 43,600 years....

Screening and identification of salt tolerance soybean varieties and germplasms

Soil salinization is a globally prevalent abiotic environmental stress. The imbalance of ions caused by high concentrations of sodium chloride results in a 40% reduction in soybean yield. Soybean, as...

Double nano-emulsions for stabilizing Vitamin C and enhancing antioxidant capacity with macadamia oil and tea tree essential oil

Vitamin C, a potent antioxidant with broad therapeutic applications, is limited by rapid degradation under environmental stressors, which compromises its stability and bioactivity. This study addresses...
