Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Brassica napus (canola) is a significant contributor to the world's oil production and is cultivated across continents, yet acidic soils with aluminium (Al3+) and manganese (Mn2+) toxicities limit its production. The genetic determinants underlying natural variation for acidic soil tolerance in canola are unknown and need to be determined ...

Co‐Impregnated MgAl Layered Double Hydroxide as an Efficient Catalyst for Glycerol Oligomerization
Applied Organometallic Chemistry, Volume 40, Issue 1, January 2026.A cobalt(II) acetylacetonate–impregnated MgAl LDH catalyst was developed, showing enhanced basicity and superior activity in glycerol oligomerization, achieving 68% conversion and 27% diglycerol selectivity. The catalyst maintained high performance over three recycling cycles, with structural and surface modifications confirmed by comprehensive ...

Effects of extreme heat events on crop revenues for U.S. corn and soybeans
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 1, Page 176-203, January 2026.Abstract Extreme weather events have nuanced implications for crop producers. While they can reduce local yields, widespread production losses often drive price increases. This study presents a panel approach that accounts for the price–yield correlation to assess the impact of such events on crop revenues, focusing on U.S. corn and soybeans.
