Assessing the viability of hydroponics for low‐income farmers in South Africa's urban agriculture sector: An urban political ecology perspective

Urban Agriculture &Regional Food Systems, Volume 11, Issue 1, 2026.
Abstract Urban agriculture in densely populated areas is significantly constrained by space, leading to interest in vertical farming solutions like hydroponics. This study evaluates hydroponics’ viability in Cape Town's low‐income urban areas as a useful supplement to most research, which focuses on cities in the Global North.

Developing downstream processes for the purification of recombinant proteins and small molecules from Nicotiana benthamiana biomass

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 66-80, January 2026.
Summary Nicotiana benthamiana (Australian tobacco) has become a major host for plant‐based recombinant protein production, especially using transient expression. Once a candidate protein has been designed and produced in a suitable variety (e.g. facilitated humanized glycosylation) under reproducible conditions (e.g.

Aeroponics in the characterization of the root system of eucalyptus

Revista Árvore
Understanding the root system of plants is essential for improving productivity and resilience, particularly under water-deficit conditions. Despite its recognized importance, root system characterization in eucalyptus has been limited. This study presents a fast and accurate method for evaluating root biomass in eucalyptus seedlings and cuttings using
