The natural world is a finely-tuned balance of biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) components that shape our environments. Various biotic factors directly affect processes like population growth, ...

Abiotic factors are non-living chemical and physical elements in the environment, which affect individual organisms as well as ecosystems. Examples are UV, IR and visible light, radiation ...

Prof. Asante’s current research focuses on developing high-yielding, climate-smart rice varieties, tolerant to major biotic and abiotic stresses, utilizing conventional, DNA marker-assisted, and ...

Since pan-genomes can reveal the extent of novel alleles and genes in crop wild relatives, the novel candidate genes that may be linked to adaptation to numerous biotic and abiotic stresses can be ...

Bio-based applications and methods aimed at alleviating yield losses of plants under biotic and abiotic stress have important alternatives to chemical fertilizers. Developing bio-based strategies for ...
