In‐Field Evaluation of Triticum spelta and Triticum aestivum Performance Under Contrasting Irrigation Regimes and Farming Systems: Impact on Yield, Grain Quality and Soil Microbiota

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought is a major abiotic stress affecting crop yields worldwide. Similarly, organic practices have been reported to enhance soil health and microbial diversity, influencing crop growth and yield. Given its drought tolerance, spelt (Triticum spelta) has been proposed as a resilient alternative to wheat (Triticum aestivum).

Microneedle‐Based Biofertilizer Delivery Improves Plant Growth Through Microbiome Engineering

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 13, 12 February 2026.
This figure shows how microneedles are used to deliver biofertilizers to enhance plant growth through microbial migration, metabolic reprogramming, and changes in plant endogenous microbiome. Abstract This study presents a microneedle‐based system for the delivery of rhizospheric biofertilizers into plant tissues to enhance growth.

Urbanization and Spatial Aggregation Impair Multifunctionality in Urban Vacant Lots

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study provides the first assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality in urban vacant lots. Although urbanization and spatial aggregation of vacant lots impaired multifunctionality, soil moisture improved it. ABSTRACT Urban shrinkage, driven by population decline rather than expansion, is an emerging concern in many developed ...

Root Traits Predict the Soil Functional Responses of Subtropical Plant Species to Experimental Drought

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Plant species' habitat preference and drought tolerance traits were not the primary factors driving interspecific differences in soil functional responses to drought. Instead, fine root traits—particularly their chemical traits—played more critical roles in determining these variations.

Chemical Fingerprinting of Spiranthes spiralis L. Methanol Seed Extract: Spectroscopic, Chromatographic, and Computational Approaches

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Spiranthes spiralis L. seed methanol extract was morphologically and chemically characterized using microscopy, FT‐IR, GC–MS, and in silico analyses. The extract exhibited high phenolic content and strong DPPH radical scavenging activity, while GC–MS identified 22 bioactive compounds with notable binding affinity toward the GPR52 receptor.

Non‐ Conventional Agents Enhance Sweet Pepper (Capsicum annuum L. var. annuum) Defense against Aphis Gossypii, Thrips Tabaci, and Their Predators Chrysoperla Carnea and Orius Insidiosus

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A study conducted in Egypt evaluated the effectiveness of chemical and microbial agents in enhancing sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum var. annuum) defenses against major pests Aphis gossypii and Thrips tabaci and their natural predators, Chrysoperla carnea and Orius insidiosus. Five foliar treatments were tested under greenhouse conditions during

The Effect of Synthetic Cow Urine on Microorganisms and Their Potential Phosphorus Mining Activity in Rhizosphere and Bulk Soil

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 1, Page 69-80, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and aims Soil microbes adapt to varying nutrient inputs by modifying their utilization strategies, with root exudates and animal urine serving as key carbon (C) and nutrient sources in grasslands. Nonetheless, the specific mechanisms by which cow urine and root exudates influence microbial community and resource utilization remain ...
