A multiscale approach to evaluate the effect of different extraction and pre‐treatment methodologies on physicochemical properties of cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) nut shell liquid

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 266-275, February 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL) is an agro‐industrial residue from cashew production that has gained relevance due to its possibilities to generate valuable by‐products. Although lab‐scale CNSL extraction has been studied in terms of yield and energy efficiency, the effect of industrial‐scale extraction and nut pre‐treatment methods ...

Ideotyping integrated aquaculture systems to balance soil nutrients. [PDF]

, 2011
Due to growing land scarcity and lack of nutrient inputs, African farmers switched from shifting cultivation to continuous cropping and extended crop area by bringing fragile lands such as river banks and hill slopes into production.

Physicochemical property and in vivo prebiotic function of α‐(1 → 2) and α‐(1 → 3)‐branched dextran derived from Leuconostoc citreum KD3

JSFA reports, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 39-49, February 2026.
Abstract Background We isolated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from Japanese traditional fermented foods and vegetables, and screened for exopolysaccharide (EPS)‐producing strains. The Leuconostoc citreum KD3 was isolated as a strain that produces an α‐glucan (KD3‐dextran) with α‐(1 → 6)‐linked main chain with a considerable amount of α‐(1 → 2) branches ...

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using fermentation extracts from a mangrove soil bacterium: morphological characterization, and antifungal activities against rice blast fungus

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 2035-2047, February 2026.
This study synthesized silver nanoparticles (RFE‐AgNPs) with multifaceted inhibitory effects on Pyricularia oryzae using mangrove soil bacterial natural products and evaluated their toxicity effects on Artemia salina. Abstract BACKGROUND Rice blast, caused by Pyricularia oryzae, poses a formidable threat to global rice production.

Assessing the real impact of inter-provincial grain trade on water and land resources within China via a modified framework

Agricultural Water Management
A rational evaluation of the virtual land and water resource flows within the grain trade can potentially serve: (i) to mitigate regional resource scarcity, (ii) as the basis for agricultural water and land resource management, and (iii) to support ...

Towards Functional Fertilisers: Feed Composition Shapes Microbial Community Structure and Viability in Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Frass

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2026.
Frass derived from black soldier fly larvae reared on various industrial side streams was investigated in both untreated and hygienised (1 h at 70°C) condition. Hygienisation efficacy was evaluated by determination of viable microbial counts, using both selective and non‐selective cultivation media.

Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of a Novel Uncultivated Magnetotactic Coccus Harbouring Multi‐Chain Magnetosomes

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
A novel marine magnetotactic coccus, strain HHB‐1, was isolated from intertidal sediments in Houhai Bay, China. HHB‐1 cells are large coccoid–ovoid bacteria that contain multiple chains of prismatic magnetite magnetosomes and conspicuous Ca/Mg‐rich polyphosphate granules.

Effects of Phytoplasma Infection on Aster Leafhopper (Macrosteles quadrilineatus) Settling Behavior and Development on Brassica napus

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 2, Page 132-141, February 2026.
Aster yellows phytoplasma (AYp) infection alters host plant preference in aster leafhoppers (Macrosteles quadrilineatus), with infected vectors showing a significant preference for AYp‐infected canola (Brassica napus) early in the infection period. However, this preference fades as infection progresses. Despite early attraction, B.

Biostimulants in plant brassinosteroid hormone receptor BRI1 activation—a new system to evaluate activation capacity

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 3, Page 677-697, February 2026.
Biostimulants improve plant growth and have shown promise in agronomic applications and boosting crop yield. Because biostimulants typically present as a mixture of active components, new methods are required to characterize their mode of action. Here, we describe a novel assay that evaluates plant biostimulants targeting the brassinosteroid receptor ...
