This work aims to emphasize on disclosing the regulative mechanism of sweet corn seedlings response to extreme temperature stress; transcriptomics and metabolomics for volatiles and plant hormones were integrated in this study. Results showed that low-temperature stress significantly impressed 20 volatiles; abscisic acid and salicylic acid accumulated, while auxin and jasmonic acid decreased. The regulatory patterns of and for abscisic acid accumulation and signal transduction were elucidated in low-temperature stress. High-temperature stress influenced 31 volatiles and caused the reductions on zeatin, salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, and auxin. The up-regulation of an gene emphasized its function on zeatin signal transduction under high-temperature stress. Correlations among gene modules, phytohormones, and volatiles were analyzed for building the regulative network of sweet corn seedlings under temperature stress. The attained result might build foundations for improving early development of sweet corn by biological intervention or genomic-level modulation.

Aroma plays a crucial role in the quality of pure green tea beverage. However, there are limited methods to improve their aroma. In this study, green tea produced using shaking and piling process (SPGT) demonstrated a notable improvement in aromatic intensity, particularly in floral, fruity, and sweet notes.

The context of the peer review was that required by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of spinosad as insecticide on bulb/dry onions, maize (fodder and grain), sweet corn, grapes (table and wine), lettuce, potato, aubergine, pepper and tomato.

To achieve good agricultural practices and maximize the economic yield of corn, farmers should reduce the use of inorganic fertilizers. A field experiment was conducted in the Chonnabot district, Khon Kaen province, Thailand, during the 2022 and 2023 growing seasons. The aim was to assess the impact of different organic fertilizers and their combinations on the growth and yield of commercial sweet corn ( L.

Background: Behavioral mechanisms underlying avian deterrence by lasers in sweet corn are not known, and we evaluated them in a rigorous aviary experiment. Eighteen flocks of European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) foraged on sweet corn for several days in control and laser treated plots with ripe sweet corn while data were collected on where birds were distributed and how long birds foraged on corn. In 16 trials, fresh ears were presented on wooden sticks, and in two trials birds foraged on natural corn grown from seed.
