Horse chestnut ordinary (Aesculus hippocastanum L.) in green plantings of Kyiv: problems and crop perspectives in up-to-date conditions

Інтродукція Рослин, 2007
The uptodate assessment of green plantings, and Aesculus hippocastanum L. is reconciled, in particular, in Kyiv. It is certified, that on the general status the yielded plantations respond the norm, and only on the separate arterial highways overstrained

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2778-2813, June 2026.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Ecological drivers and phylogenetic patterns of leaf minimum conductance variability in vascular plants

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3716-3731, June 2026.
Summary Stomatal closure prevents significant water losses during drought events. Yet, leaves are not perfectly hermetic and dehydration ensues through residual water losses, known as minimum conductance (gmin), which is highly relevant since it informs on the water depletion dynamics under stress.

Escin Attenuates Amyloid Beta 1‐42‐Induced Oxidative Stress, Apoptosis, and Neuroinflammation in Neuron‐Like SH‐SY5Y Cells

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study demonstrates that Escin pretreatment exerts potent neuroprotection against Aβ1‐42‐induced toxicity in differentiated SH‐SY5Y cells. By suppressing the NF‐κB inflammatory axis, mitigating oxidative stress, and inhibiting the apoptotic cascade, Escin provides a mechanistic basis for its potential as a therapeutic candidate for Alzheimer's ...

Lecanicillium aphanocladii: a biocontrol agent against insect pests and phytopathogens

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4089-4103, May 2026.
Recent research findings on the biocontrol potential of Lecanicillium aphanocladii fungus against insect‐pests and plant diseases were highlighted. This review indicates that several L. aphanocladii strains show great potential to be developed as multipurpose biocontrol agents active against several insect‐pests, plant diseases and plant parasitic ...

Effects of tree diversity and mycorrhizal type on the spatio‐temporal variability of leaf litter production and quality in temperate forests

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study tested whether combining high tree species richness with mixed mycorrhizal types (arbuscular mycorrhizal [AM] and ectomycorrhizal [EM] fungi) enhances productivity in forest ecosystems. Results did not support this: neither litter production nor nutrient traits benefited from mycorrhizal mixing.

Improved Longan Genome Assembly Reveals Insights Into Flowering Mechanisms

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1678-1696, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Longan is an exotic tropical fruit crop and exhibits off‐season flowering induced by potassium chlorate (KClO3), though the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We assembled a high‐quality, 441.5 Mb genome of variety ‘Shixia’, with a contig N50 at 28.1 Mb, 29, 325 protein‐coding genes, 26 telomeres and 15 centromeres.

A graduated nativeness definition for overcoming dilemmas and difficulties of vascular plant species

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Nativeness is a concept central to biodiversity conservation and invasion biology, but there are several problems related to a classic binary nativeness definition. Dilemmas arise from the dynamic nature of species' distribution ranges on longer time scales, and difficulties arise in the application to smaller regions defined by arbitrary borders, and ...
