Phloridzin as a Nutraceutical for Cancer Prevention and Therapy: A Comprehensive Review of Its Mechanisms, Bioavailability Challenges and Future Applications

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
Phloridzin, a bioactive flavonoid from Malus species, demonstrates diverse therapeutic effects including anticancer, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and antimicrobial activities. Its anticancer efficacy is mediated through glucose transporter inhibition and modulation of oncogenic signaling pathways.

Chlorophyll Fluorescence, Oxygen Consumption Rates and Germination of Green Soybean Seeds Produced Under Heat–Drought Stress

open access: yesPlant Direct, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Heat–drought stress during the late development of soybean seeds (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) adversely affects chlorophyll degradation, resulting in green seeds with low physiological quality. This study aimed to relate chlorophyll fluorescence, oxygen consumption rates, and germination characteristics in green and yellow soybean seeds produced ...

Deep learning‐based laser weed control compared to conventional herbicide application across three vegetable production systems

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 4922-4936, August 2025.
In 2024, trials in New Jersey and New York evaluated the effectiveness of laser weeding with a Carbon Robotics unit compared with herbicides on beets, spinach, and peas. Results demonstrated that laser weeding was as effective or superior to herbicides in controlling weeds, reducing biomass by ≥97% and boosting crop growth by ≥30%.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus reshapes the rhizosphere microbiome of alfalfa in response to above‐ground attack by aphids and a fungal plant pathogen

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 2149-2169, August 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants assemble beneficial rhizosphere microbiomes through a ‘cry for help’ mechanism upon pathogen or insect herbivore attack. The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can influence the composition of microbial communities in the plant rhizosphere. However, their impacts

The abundance and phenology of four common agromyzid leafmining flies (Diptera: Agromyzidae) and their associated parasitoid wasps in southern Victoria

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2025.
Abstract Three polyphagous agromyzid leafminers, Liriomyza sativae Blanchard, Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) and Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess), have recently invaded mainland Australia, posing a threat to horticultural crops. Overseas, these species are often effectively controlled by local hymenopteran parasitoids.

Convergence in Symbiont‐Induced Plant‐Mediated Responses to Herbivory: Cascading Effects for Foraging Parasitoids

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2025.
Polydnaviruses represent a striking example of convergent evolution. These viruses, divided into bracoviruses and ichnoviruses, were independently acquired by braconid and ichneumonid parasitoid wasps respectively, to deliver pathogenic genes to caterpillar hosts.
