Here, we report three thaumarchaeotal metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) representing a new species of . These genomes expand the representation of archaeal nitrifiers recovered from arid, agricultural soils.

The purpose of the present research is to determine the economic, energy consumption, and environmental impacts in coriander seed production using material flow cost accounting approach along with life cycle assessment. The positive output and negative energy were 25,485 and 6742 MJ ha, respectively.

Moreover, under drought stress, the share of silybin increased which possess the greatest degree of biological activity among the silymarin components. Silymarin, an isomeric mixture of flavonolignans found in milk thistle (Silybum marianum (L.
