Exploring the role of exogenous salicylic acid in cereals resilience to water deficit stress: Advances and challenges

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Salicylic acid (SA) is an elicitor of abiotic stress tolerance in plants, but a comparative analysis of its effects across cereals remains under‐explored. This review article assesses the literature on the biological functioning of exogenous SA application (foliar‐ or root‐applied) in water‐stressed cereals.

Transposable elements: Functional aspects and applications as drivers of crop innovation

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Transposable elements (TEs), which were once relegated to the status of genomic parasites, are today accepted as important agents of plant genome evolution and adaptation. This review integrates evidence pointing to their dual function as drivers of genetic diversity and instability, with a focus on their contribution to phenotypic innovation,

Evolutionary and Functional Characterization of an Auxin Methyltransferase (CsIAMT) in Cucumber Reveals Its Role in Stress Adaptation and Development

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The plant SABATH methyltransferase family drives phenotypic diversity evolution through gene duplication and new functionalization. Among them, IAMT, as the most ancient member of this family, is widely present in various species. The study identified a potential auxin methyltransferase homologous to IAMT (CsIAMT) in cucumber, which can catalyze IAA ...

Cucumis, σίκυος, ‘concombre’

Cahiers du Centre de Linguistique et des Sciences du Langage, 2020
Un concombre ? C’est plutôt une couronne de fleurs qu’on attendrait pour un hommage. A la rigueur une couronne d’olivier, de laurier ou de céleri, comme pour un athlète triomphant. Mais un concombre ? Patience cependant. La suite de ce discours montrera que le concombre (σίκυος grec et cucumis latin) n’a rien d’anodin. Il peut être source d’inspiration

Upcycling Agricultural By‐Product: Therapeutic Potential of Oriental Melon Stem (Cucumis melo var. makuwa) in Treating Obesity and Fatty Liver via Enhanced Thermogenesis

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
This study proposes the upcycling of oriental melon (Cucumis melo var. makuwa) stems, typically discarded as agricultural waste, into a bioactive extract with functional potential. CMSE ameliorates high‐fat‐diet‐induced obesity and fatty liver, contributing to the restoration of metabolic health by enhancing the expression of thermogenesis‐related ...

Waste tires to fertilizer: Carbon black zinc fertilizer for maize in calcareous soils

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Waste tires accumulate in massive quantities worldwide, posing significant environmental challenges. Pyrolysis under high vacuum offers a potential disposal solution, producing recovered carbon black (CB) enriched in zinc (Zn) from zinc oxide used in tire manufacture.
