Materials and methods | This section provides, in any order, comprehensive descriptions of the object(s) of the study, the location and conditions of the study, research materials, research methods (protocols), and experimental design that allow for the effective reproduction and development of the study presented in the article. New objects, materials, methods, and research protocols should be described in detail, but not excessively, to the extent that allows the reader to get an idea and the ability to reproduce them. Well-known, traditional objects, materials, and methods (protocols) can be described briefly, or their well-known name can be given, duly cited. If software was used to conduct the research and process the results, its name and version number should be indicated, for example, "... Statistica v14.0.0.15 (x64) ...". The description of the object, location, and conditions of the study should be exhaustive and consistent with the topic of the study. Information on soil conditions, weather, and agricultural technology must be provided when publishing the results of field studies. The detailing of this information should not be excessive and should be consistent with the topic of the study. It is necessary to provide comprehensive information about the experimental plan and/or experimental design and methods of mathematical data processing, indicating the software used (if any) and its version. |
Results and discussion | A description of the obtained results, their interpretation and/or comparison with previously obtained own results or results published by other researchers is provided. |
Conclusion | The main scientific results presented in the article are briefly formulated. The conclusions should logically correspond to the set tasks. |
Acknowledgments | This section is optional. In it, the authors can express gratitude to organizations, communities, individual departments of organizations and specific individuals for any support not provided for in the Funding section. |
Funding | A mandatory section. It specifies the sources of external funding for the study, indicating the funding organization, the grant number or other number that allows the funding organization to identify the source, and the title of the funded topic. If not all of the study was funded, then it should be indicated what part of it received financial support. If there was no external funding, it should be stated - The study did not receive external funding. |
Conflict of Interest | The purpose of the conflict of interest statement is to maintain transparency, trust, integrity, and ethical standards. In this regard, the author(s) should disclose potential and obvious conflicts of interest related to the research presented in the manuscript that could influence the author(s) of the manuscript and lead to concealment, distortion of data, or a change in their interpretation. Optional conflict of interest statement: The author declares that he/she has no conflict of interest. Possible, but not exhaustive, conflict of interest statement options: The study was commissioned and supported by X. X had no role in or influence on the selection of subjects, methods, data collection, data interpretation, or manuscript preparation. The study was funded by X. X participated in the selection of subjects and methods. X had no role in or influence on the collection of data, data processing, data interpretation, or manuscript preparation. The equipment (or consumables) for conducting the study were provided free of charge by the company "Y". The company did not participate in conducting the study and did not influence the collection of data, their processing, interpretation, or preparation of the manuscript. The equipment (or consumables) for conducting the study were provided free of charge by the company "Y". Representatives of the company participated in the development of the experimental design and plan, as well as in the selection of objects of the study. The company did not participate in and did not influence the collection of data, their processing, interpretation, or preparation of the manuscript. Author "Z" is an employee of the company "X", which provided the equipment for the study. Author "W" is a co-author of the apple variety "A" (patent for selection achievement No. 000). Author "Q" has presented (or will present) at the conference the results of studies using preparations (or equipment) of the company "X". Financial support for participation in the conference (registration fee or honorarium for speaking, etc.) was provided by company "X". Authors should be aware that the presence of a conflict of interest of one or more authors IS NOT a violation of the ethics of scientific publications and grounds for refusal to publish an article. Declaration of a conflict of interest demonstrates the responsible approach of the authors to conducting the research and publishing its results. An undeclared conflict of interest is recognized as a violation of ethics and, if editors or third parties discover that the author(s) are hiding a potential or obvious conflict of interest, this may be the reason for refusal to consider and publish the manuscript or its retraction. |
