Selection of Potential Potato Cultivars With Export Quality Through Multitrait Genotype‐Ideotype Distance Index (MGIDI)

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Ranking and selection of potato varieties using the MGIDI index. MGIDI analysis identified six superior genotypes viz., BARI Alu‐7, BARI Alu‐40, BARI Alu‐46, BARI Alu‐97, BARI Alu‐62, and BARI Alu‐37 considering a selection intensity of 20%. These genotypes demonstrated strong performance, revealing both their strengths and weaknesses in relation to ...

Methane Emissions From Dairy Goats Can Be Measured Using Cattle Respiration Chambers

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
Reducing methane emissions from dairy goat production is essential for meeting sustainability targets and consumer expectations. Accurate quantification of enteric methane per unit of feed intake is a prerequisite for developing emission inventories and mitigation strategies.

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Uncovering Sequence and Structural Characteristics of Fungal Expansin‐Related Proteins With Potential to Drive Substrate Targeting

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 2, Page 547-557, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Expansins loosen plant cell wall networks through disrupting non‐covalent bonds between cellulose microfibrils and matrix polysaccharides. Whereas expansins were first discovered in plants, expansin‐related proteins have since been identified in bacteria and fungi.

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.

Land use gradients drive spatial variation in Lassa fever host communities in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 2, Page 296-312, February 2026.
As West Africa urbanises, the risk of Lassa fever may paradoxically decrease. We found the invasive house mouse, a dominant urban species, outcompetes and displaces the primary Lassa virus host. Considering these species interactions is critical for accurately predicting future zoonotic disease patterns.
