From plant to fabric: Environmental opportunities associated with annatto dye for sustainable development in the textile industry

Coloration Technology, Volume 142, Issue 3, Page 333-353, June 2026.
Abstract Natural dyes are compounds that occur naturally in several organisms and are classified based on chemical structure and application method. The literature cites several natural dyes used in industrial transformation processes. Annatto dye is used in the food industry, and its biological pigment is extracted from the annatto seed. However, this

A Near Telomere‐to‐Telomere Genome of Belamcanda chinensis Provides Insights Into Genome Evolution and the Biosynthesis of Characteristic Isoflavones

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4285-4301, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Belamcanda chinensis is a non‐leguminous medicinal plant rich in bioactive isoflavones; however, the lack of a high‐quality reference genome has limited elucidation of its isoflavone biosynthetic and modification network. Here, we present the first near telomere‐to‐telomere genome assembly of B.

Relationship of Color and Antioxidant Capacity with the Content of Secondary Metabolites in Flowers of Crocosmia

Agronomy
Crocosmia is a genus of bulbous, perennial plants from the Iridaceae family whose characteristic red to orange pigmentation suggests the presence of anthocyanins, flavonoids, and carotenoids—secondary metabolites often associated with antioxidant ...

Does water vole diet meet the prerequisites of the “plant hypothesis” for explaining population cycles?

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Rodent population cycles are observed in highly seasonal environments. As most rodents are herbivorous, the availability and the quality of their food resources vary greatly across seasons. Furthermore, it is well documented that herbivore densities have a measurable effect on vegetation and, conversely, that vegetation dynamics can influence ...

Multi‐Target Mechanisms of Moroccan Aphrodisiac Plants: An Integrative Computational and Phytochemical Investigation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Moroccan medicinal plants with in silico‐approved aphrodisiac effects provide 94 phytochemicals. Docking against PDE5, AR, ERα, and aromatase gives top scores for lutein (−10.6), baicalein (−9.5), liquiritigenin (−9.2), and procyanidins (−9.7). ADMET filtering passes baicalein and liquiritigenin but excludes lutein and procyanidins. MD simulations (200
