Drought‐Induced Anatomical Compensation Stabilizes Gas Exchange in Sorghum
Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 6, November 2026.ABSTRACT Drought limits carbon gain in crops, yet the functional role of bulliform cells in regulating gas exchange and water‐use efficiency remains unclear. Here, we tested whether natural variation in bulliform size alters carbon assimilation rate and whole‐leaf water‐use efficiency in Sorghum bicolor.

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 1181-1207, November 2026.Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...

CO2 Fertilisation of Growth in Wild C4 Grasses may be Amplified by Upregulated Photosynthesis
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8870-8882, November 2026.ABSTRACT Rising atmospheric CO2 is expected to have limited direct effects on C4 photosynthesis because the carbon‐concentrating mechanism maintains near‐saturating CO2 at Rubisco. Consequently, growth responses of C4 plants to elevated CO2 (eCO2) are generally attributed to indirect improvements in plant water relations.

Bismuth Chalcogenide‐Based Photocatalysts for Nitrogen Reduction: Recent Progress and Prospects
Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 39, 22 October 2026.Bismuth chalcogenides emerge as promising visible‐light photocatalysts for sustainable ammonia synthesis, driven by tunable electronic structures and strong N2 activation. Recent advances reveal how defects, doping and heterojunction design synergistically enhance charge separation and reactivity. Key challenges and future directions highlight pathways

Searching for Novel COVID19 Treatments: Towards Covalent TMPRSS2 Inhibitors
ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 19, 14 October 2026.We designed, synthesised, and evaluated new guanidine derivatives as potential covalent inhibitors of TMPRSS2, a key protease for SARS‐CoV‐2 entry. Computational studies showed that some compounds have improved binding over nafamostat. However, experimentally none effectively blocked viral entry in cell assays, indicating further optimisation is needed.
