The increasing frequency of heat stress events due to climate change disrupts all stages of plant growth, significantly reducing yields, especially in crops like mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek).

Increasing wheat ( L.) yield and grain protein concentration (GPC) without excessive nitrogen (N) inputs requires understanding the genotypic variations in N accumulation, partitioning, and utilization strategies. This study evaluated whether high protein genotypes exhibit increased N accumulation (herein also expressed as N nutrition index, NNI) and partitioning (including remobilization from vegetative organs) compared to low-protein genotypes under low and high N conditions.

High-throughput phenotyping is the bottleneck for advancing field trait characterization and yield improvement in major field crops. Specifically for sorghum ( L.), rapid plant-level yield estimation is highly dependent on characterizing the number of grains within a panicle.

Temperature measurement is critical in many areas of research, particularly in agriculture, where it can have a significant impact on crop health and yield. Experiments such as seed germination often require numerous temperature sensors to collect extensive data. Typically, data loggers are used to store information, but market options are expensive and offer limited, non-customizable inputs (channels), creating challenges for comprehensive soil temperature monitoring.

Background: The proportion of nitrogen (N) derived from the atmosphere (Ndfa) is a fundamental component of the plant N demand in legume species. To estimate the N benefit of grain legumes for the subsequent crop in the rotation, a simplified N balance is frequently used. This balance is calculated as the difference between fixed N and removed N by grains.
