Transposable elements: Functional aspects and applications as drivers of crop innovation

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Transposable elements (TEs), which were once relegated to the status of genomic parasites, are today accepted as important agents of plant genome evolution and adaptation. This review integrates evidence pointing to their dual function as drivers of genetic diversity and instability, with a focus on their contribution to phenotypic innovation,

Rutaceae Zanthoxylum–Derived 7‐Demethylsuberosin Alleviates the Rheumatoid Arthritis Through Inhibiting the Maturation of Dendritic Cells via Targeting MAPK14 Functional Food‐Based 7‐Demethylsuberosin

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
This study revealed that 7‐demethylsuberosin exhibits immunosuppressive effects both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, it inhibits the phosphorylation of MAPK14 by targeting it, thereby modulating dendritic cell (DC) maturation and function and reducing inflammation across various in vivo models.

Purification, Structural Characterization, and Anticancer Activity of the Polysaccharide From Sea Red Rice Bran

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Sea red rice bran polysaccharides were separated and purified by DEAE‐52 column chromatography, yielding three components: SRBP‐I, II, and III. Moreover, all three are pentosan‐type polysaccharides predominantly composed of mannose. Among them, SRBP‐I demonstrated the most potent inhibitory effect on HeLa cells. Further investigation indicated that the
