Liebig Review: Essential and Beneficial Elements in the Regulation of Cadmium Uptake and Tolerance in Crop Plants

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 4, Page 429-444, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd2+) contamination in agricultural soils has been reported to pose risks to crop productivity, food safety, and human health. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the mechanisms by which essential (S, Zn, Fe, Mg, K, Ca) and beneficial (Si, Se, rare earth elements) elements mitigate Cd2+ toxicity in plants.

Climate Change and African Agricultural Resilience: A 10‐Year Comprehensive Review of Adaptive Capacity, Policy, and Environmental Stewardship

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In the current era, climate change has emerged as a fundamental threat to African agriculture, driven by increasingly erratic climatic patterns such as prolonged rainfall, decadal droughts, and escalating thermal stress. This review evaluates contemporary agricultural productivity by gathering and analyzing empirical data from academic ...

Soil Microbiome Predator Diversity Outperforms Nitrogen Addition in Boosting Plant Biomass via Bacterial Community Shifts

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Soil biodiversity may help reduce dependence on nitrogen fertilization, but experimental evidence remains limited. We tested how microbiome predator diversity (protists and nematodes) and nitrogen addition influence Cannabis sativa performance. Increasing microbiome predator diversity enhanced plant biomass by up to 60%, exceeding the effects of ...

Melatonin seed priming: A climate‐smart, green strategy to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2942-2975, August 2026.
This review synthesizes how melatonin seed priming preconditions seeds to enhance tolerance against diverse abiotic stresses. It highlights the underlying mechanisms and proposes an integrative roadmap of advanced molecular and breeding tools to design next‐generation, stress‐smart plants.

Distinct Foliar Uptake Pathways for Phosphorus and Nano‐Hydroxyapatite in Potato Revealed By Synchrotron μCT and ³³P Imaging

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5563-5579, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) has a high phosphorus (P) requirement, yet its shallow root system and the strong P‐fixing capacity of many soils limit the effectiveness of soil fertilisation. Foliar application of nano‐hydroxyapatite particles (nHAPs) has emerged as a promising alternative P fertilisation practice.

Herbicide protection seed coating technology for improving restoration success in Great Basin sagebrush plant communities

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 6, August 2026.
Abstract Introduction Invasive annual grasses (IAGs) pose a significant threat to sagebrush rangelands, but restoring native perennial species using seed is challenging because pre‐emergent herbicides, used to control IAGs, also harm desired seedlings. This necessitates seeding after herbicide effects diminish. Objective This collection of three papers
