Methodological Effects on Plant–Hummingbird Networks: A Comparison of Pollen Load and Focal Observation Approaches in Colombian Andean Ecosystems

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Ecological interactions, such as plant–pollinator interactions, are fundamental to maintaining biodiversity and sustaining ecosystem functions. In tropical ecosystems, hummingbirds serve as key pollinators due to their specialized morphological traits, which facilitate plant–pollinator interactions.

Impact of Convective, Infrared, and Freeze‐Drying on the Kinetics and Quality of Prickly Pear

open access: yesJournal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 49, Issue 9, September 2026.
Optimized drying of prickly pear fruits highlights infrared drying at 60°C as a cost‐effective method, reducing time and energy while preserving bioactive compounds. Yellow variety showed fastest kinetics and highest antioxidant potential. Optimized drying conditions ensure quality retention, supporting sustainable valorization in agro‐food and ...

High‐Starch Diet Prepartum Enhances IgG Concentration in Goat Colostrum Without Affecting the Transfer of Passive Immunity

open access: yesJournal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, Volume 110, Issue 5, Page 741-752, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study hypothesises that a high‐starch (HS) diet during the last month of gestation enhances colostrum yield and composition as well as the dam and goat kid metabolism, immune status and performance. Thirty multiparous and pregnant Majorera dairy goats were randomly assigned to a prepartum dietary treatment (CON vs.

Revisiting the Molecular Roadmap for Sugar Crops: Genome Reading, Trait Writing and Variety Redesigning

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 9, Page 5013-5040, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

Spatially Resolved ABA Signalling Reveals Dual Role in Tomato Yield

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 9, Page 5224-5235, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Abscisic acid (ABA) is a central hormonal regulator of plant adaptation to stress and developmental progression. However, its contribution to agronomic traits such as yield remains unclear due to the pleiotropic nature of ABA signalling. To disentangle distinct physiological functions of ABA, we employed a receptor‐specific gain‐of‐function ...
