Urban agriculture plays a strategic role in sustainability, food security, and climate adaptation in cities, where temperature emerges as a key variable. This study conducted a scientometric and qualitative analysis to investigate how temperature has been addressed in the scientific literature&#x...

The reproducibility of lighting protocols in Plant Factories with Artificial Lighting (PFALs) is frequently constrained by the scarcity of auditable operational data. This study presents and validates an open-architecture Precision Vertical Farming System (PVFS) capable of executing dynamic photosynthetic&...

The Embrapa-based Capsicum research program has had activities that go from expeditions to collect germplasm in remote areas of the country to molecular markers, volatile determination and processing characteristics, bridging knowledge and technology gaps of relevance to both public and private&#...

In this context, low-cost digital technologies capable of democratizing access to technical and scientific tools are essential to enhance the resilience and adaptive capacity of vegetable production systems. This study aimed to develop and validate low-cost lettuce phenotyping platforms powered b...

Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is a globally important root crop cultivated in more than one hundred countries. To map how genetics research has evolved and where actionable gaps remain, we conducted a scientometric analysis of 590 records from Web of Science (WoS) coverin...

This study presents local-scale (1 km²) climate projections for the Lower São Francisco region, located between the states of Sergipe and Alagoas (Brazil). Projections were derived from the ACCESS-CM2 model using the WorldClim database. The exclusive use of ACCESS-CM2 is justified by it...

Sweet potatoes biofortified in carotenoids have been an alternative to combat malnutrition in vulnerable populations. This workis the first comprehensive study of the bioactive potential of the new Brazilian biofortified sweet potato cultivar “CIP BRS Nuti.”In two harvests, the chemical compositi...

Bacterial spot caused by X. euvesicatoria pv. perforans in Brazil shows copper resistance via the copA gene. The study identified resistance in 28.8% of isolates and reported, for the first time, a hormetic effect (low-dose stimulation), as well as increased biofilm under copper st...

O setor de orgânicos cresce no Brasil, mas carece de sementes específicas. O MAPA flexibilizou a exigência de sementes orgânicas devido à baixa oferta. O desafio é garantir a sanidade sem agrotóxicos, exigindo manejo rigoroso e novas pesquisas em melhoramento.
