This paper presents a valuable dataset that has been collected from different regions of Aoun district at Karbala Governorate in Iraq. The dataset includes different images of date palm leaves that have been collected over about six months, which represents the period of the dubas insect (Ommatissus binotatus lybicus Bergevin) growing. The collected images of the palm leaves are classified into four categories based on their health status and the stage of the insects present. These categories are named as healthy, infected with bugs only, infected with honeydew only, and infected by mixed insects and honeydew. The images of the leaves that are infected by the insects include different stages of an insect life cycle, ranging from the third generation of nymphs to the adult stage in the fifth stage of the nymph. Two types of drone cameras have been used in imaging. The presented images in this paper are 3000 images, with 800 images per non-bug category and 600 images for the bug category. The dataset provides valuable information for determining the severity and extent of the infestation, as well as for estimating the number of insects present in a given area.

Palm leaf manuscripts, crafted from specially treated palm leaves, are invaluable historical documents. However, they degrade and tend to become brittle over time. To date, plant essential oils and glycerin are the used materials to improve the flexibility of palm leaf manuscripts, but the effective duration of these materials is short due to their volatility.

Oil palm () yield is impacted by abiotic stresses, leading to significant economic losses. To understand the core abiotic stress transcriptome (CAST) of oil palm, we performed RNA-Seq analyses of oil palm leaves subjected to drought, salinity, waterlogging, heat, and cold stresses. A total of 19,834 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified.

Growth regulators can improve the quality and production of fruit trees. This research was conducted over two successive years to evaluate the effect of preharvest sprays of growth regulators on the physicochemical properties of date palm fruit (Phoenix dactylifera cv. 'Shahabi') during khalal and tamar stages in a palm research station at Bushehr province.

Introduction: Leaf spot disease caused by the fungal pathogen is one of the most common diseases found in oil palm () nurseries in South East Asia, and is most prevalent at the seedling stage. Severe infections result in localized necrotic regions of leaves that rapidly spread within nurseries leading to poor quality seedlings and high economic losses.
Methods: To understand the molecular mechanisms of this plant-pathogen interaction, RNA-Seq was used to elucidate the transcriptomes of three oil palm genotypes with contrasting pathogen responses (G10 and G12, resistant and G14, susceptible) following infection with spores.
The conversion of tropical rainforests to agriculture causes population declines and biodiversity loss across taxa. This impacts ants (Formicidae), a crucial tropical group for ecosystem functioning. While biodiversity loss among ants is well documented, the responses of individual ant taxa and their adjustments in trophic strategies to land-use change are little studied.
