Land Reforms in Cuba: First Empirical Assessment on Productivity Using Crop‐Level Panel Data

Economics of Transition and Institutional Change, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 573-585, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Land reforms implemented in Cuba since 2008 have aimed to increase agricultural production by distributing state‐owned idle lands with land‐use rights. The reforms restricted farmers with the rights from cultivating perennial and capital‐intensive crops.

Drought Stress Promotes Aphis gossypii Growth but Decreases Host Attractiveness in Melon

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 770-779, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought stress is a significant environmental factor that affects plant physiology and growth, leading to considerable detrimental effects on crop productivity. Cucumis melo, which is widely cultivated for its economic value, is particularly susceptible to water scarcity.

New Integrative Vectors Increase Agrobacterium rhizogenes Transformation and Help Characterise Roles for Soybean GmTML Gene Family Members

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3824-3836, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Hairy‐root transformation is widely used to generate transgenic plant roots for genetic functional characterisation studies. However, transformation efficiency can be limited, largely due to the use of binary vectors. Here, we report on the development of novel integrative vectors that significantly increase the transformation efficiency of ...

Rhizobia–Bean Symbiosis Increases Root Herbivore Attraction and Growth via Volatile Signals and Enhanced Nutrition

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3952-3962, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The symbiosis between nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia and plants is considered mutually beneficial, yet its indirect effects on other organisms remain understudied. We examined how rhizobia symbiosis in Phaseolus vulgaris influences the behaviour and performance of Diabrotica balteata larvae. Specifically, we tested larval preference for nodulated (R+

Nature's Nanotech Warriors: The Role of Metalloproteins and Protein Cages for Environmental Remediation

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Cartoon representation of five major classes of metalloproteins and their brief mechanisms of bioremediation. The five classes include metallothioneins, metal‐precipitating enzymes, P.‐type ATPases, protein cages, and synthetic metalloproteins (de novo‐designed proteins/peptides for selective adsorption). These natural and engineered protein structures

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis
