Nanotechnology: A promising field in enhancing abiotic stress tolerance in plants

Mawuli K. Azameti, Abdul-Wahab M. Imoro · 28 Jun 2023

Heavy metals, drought, salinity, cold stress, and heat stress are some of the main abiotic stresses that adversely affect plant growth and crop productivity generally. For crop production systems to be sustainable in the face of abiotic environmental constraints, effective strategies must be used in conjunction with technological advancement to achieve this goal. In recent…

Opportunities for graphene, single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotube applications in agriculture: A review

Zhiwen Chen, Jianguo Zhao, Junfeng Cao et al. · 1 Jun 2022

Nanotechnology is an important driver leading to the revolution in the fields of agriculture. Here, we presented insights into the application of carbon nanomaterials (single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes and graphene) in biomolecule delivery for crop breeding. We also reviewed the application of graphene to biosensors and the utilization efficiency of water, fertilizers and insecticides…

A novel multi trait genotype ideotype distance index (MGIDI) for genotype selection in plant breeding: Application, prospects, and limitations

Pinki Debnath, Kakon Chakma, Mohammed Shafi Ullah Bhuiyan et al. · 2 Sep 2024

The Multitrait Genotype Ideotype Distance Index (MGIDI) is a strong and adaptable technique for choosing superior genotypes of diverse crops based on numerous attributes. It is a multivariate selection indicator that incorporates different characteristic information into a single value and ranks genotypes based on their distance from an ideal genotype. Breeders can use variable selection…

The complex interplay between plant-microbe and virus interactions in sustainable agriculture: Harnessing phytomicrobiomes for enhanced soil health, designer plants, resource use efficiency, and food security

Ashim Das Astapati, Soumitra Nath · 4 May 2023

The present-day climate change scenario represents a substantial peril to the global population concerning food security, given the potential impacts on agricultural productivity, food availability, and accessibility. The excessive use of agrochemicals, as fertilizers and pesticides, leads to the deterioration of soil health as well. Sustainable land-use practices without perturbing the soil ecosystem are achievable…

A real time monitoring system for accurate plant leaves disease detection using deep learning

Kazi Naimur Rahman, Sajal Chandra Banik, Raihan Ul Islam et al. · 6 Jan 2025

Accurate and timely detection of plant diseases is crucial for sustainable agriculture and food security. This research presents a real-time monitoring system utilizing deep learning techniques to detect diseases in plant leaves with high accuracy. We combined several plant datasets, including the PlantVillage Dataset, resulting in a comprehensive dataset of 30,945 images across eight plant…

Crop Design template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Crop Design format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Crop Design template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Crop Design use?
Crop Design uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, Crop Design 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Crop Design?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Crop Design document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Crop Design template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Crop Design format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Crop Design?
Crop Design is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's Crop Design template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Crop Design PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Crop Design template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Crop Design template cost?
You can start writing in the Crop Design template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Crop Design PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
