The use of edible insects in human food

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Chitosan‐induced modulation of secondary metabolism and stress tolerance in Salvia rosmarinus under combined drought and heat stress

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Abiotic stresses, particularly drought and elevated temperatures, negatively affect plant physiological and metabolic processes. This study investigated the effects of drought, heat, and combined stress on Salvia rosmarinus (rosemary), and evaluated foliar‐applied chitosan as a biostimulant.

Lipid correction of hydrogen stable isotope ratios in fish

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Lipids are known to affect stable isotope ratio of organisms, especially δ13C values, and simple arithmetic lipid‐correction procedures have been developed based on the carbon to nitrogen ratio (C : N) that is a proxy for lipid content. Equivalent issues will likely arise with the increasing use of hydrogen isotopes in ecology, but as yet no ...

Biodegradable Natural Polymer‐Based Drug Delivery Systems for Bone Tissue Engineering

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing incidence of bone diseases and injuries, especially among aging populations, has underscored the shortcomings of traditional treatments such as bone grafts and metal implants, which often face complications including immune rejection, mechanical failure, and delayed healing.

A DUF3455 domain‐containing protein promotes Ustilaginoidea virens infection and functions as a plant immune elicitor

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
The fungal effector UvDUF1 from Ustilaginoidea virens not only promotes infection but also acts as a plant immunity elicitor, inducing broad‐spectrum disease resistance in rice and Nicotiana benthamiana. These results reveal its potential as a novel target for sustainable crop protection strategies.

Deciphering the soybean root rot pathogen Phytophthora sojae: Signaling pathways, transcriptional regulation, and effector biology

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
This review highlights how Phytophthora sojae utilizes unconventional lineage‐specific signaling networks, including unique G protein‐coupled receptor fusions, expanded kinases, and rapidly evolving effectors, to infect soybeans. Understanding these divergent molecular paradigms reveals critical vulnerabilities in this destructive pathogen, offering ...
