Irrigation using slightly saline water from emerging desalination technologies as a solution to short‐term drought

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 831-842, May 2026.
With global weather patterns becoming more extreme and unpredictable, sourcing reliable irrigation water is vital for improving food security and conserving drinking water in drought‐prone areas. Emerging desalination technologies, which are still in the development phase, could potentially provide large quantities of slightly saline water for ...

Sparassis crispa and a Bioactive Compound Therein, Ergosterol, Were Effective in Preventing Acetylcholinesterase Inhibition In Vitro and In Vivo

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Sparassis crispa extract exhibited acetylcholinesterase inhibitory and antioxidant activities, and ergosterol was identified as a major bioactive sterol. In a TMT‐induced mouse model, both the extract and ergosterol improved spatial working memory and learning retention while reducing brain AChE activity and lipid peroxidation.

Effects of Gene B in Cucurbita moschata

HortScience, 1986
Abstract The effects of gene B in Cucurbita moschata Poir. were studied by comparing 2 near-isogenic lines, PI 165561 (B+B+) and Precocious PI 165561 (BB) at 2 locations in Israel. B significantly increased femaleness and number of fruits, but decreased fruit size and yield and numerically decreased seed yield at one or both locations.

Using multilayer socioecological networks to assess ecosystem service flow in a subsistence farming community in Papua New Guinea

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 854-870, April 2026.
Abstract Ecosystem services are rapidly degrading under anthropogenic pressure. Therefore, it is increasingly important to understand how ecosystem services flow, particularly at local scales, where people directly rely on nature for their livelihoods and well‐being. Many ecosystem services are underpinned by ecological (e.g.

A PLETHORA3/7 transcription factor shapes cucumber shoot architecture

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 230-245, April 2026.
Summary PLETHORA transcription factors (PLTs) are master regulators of plant development. Loss of shoot meristematic PLTs leads to reduced phyllotactic regularity and robustness in Arabidopsis and increased inflorescence branching in tomato. Whether these factors have similar functions in other species is not known.
