Bioactive compounds in insects—Composition, extraction, functionality, food applications, and safety concerns

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes 94 studies (2000–2025) exploring edible insects as sustainable sources of peptides, lipids, and chitin. Utilizing “green” extraction, these bioactives offer antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits for functional foods. However, addressing safety concerns like allergenicity and heavy metals through standardized frameworks remains ...

PP2A regulates shade avoidance response by dephosphorylating phytochrome‐interacting factor 7 in Arabidopsis

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.
Significance Statement The shade‐avoidance response allows plants to better access sunlight to compete against surrounding neighbors. In Arabidopsis, PIF7 can be dephosphorylated under shade and accumulates into the nucleus to promote auxin biosynthetic and signaling genes to promote stem elongation.
