Green Proteins: A Sustainable Alternative to Animal‐Based Proteins for Global Protein Security

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study highlights the drawbacks associated with animal‐based proteins, such as their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, large‐scale land use, and worsening food insecurity. It suggests that green sources of proteins, including legumes, grains, seeds, leaves, and algae, are possible sustainable alternatives. Shifting towards these plant‐based

Hemagglutinating and acid phosphatase (AcPASE) activities in developing seedlings of four species of Cucurbitaceae

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
The acid phosphatase and hemagglutinating activities of four species of Cucurbitaceae were determined during seeds germination and seedlings development. In all cases traces of enzyme and hemagglutinating activities were found in dry and imbibided seeds.

An integrated social and natural sciences case study for the reuse of organic wastes as soil amendments

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 965-982, May 2026.
Reusing organic waste materials, such as animal manure, as soil amendments reduces water and fertiliser demand, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. However, organic wastes may contain contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), posing potential ecosystem and human health risks. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a lack

Haploid Mutation Mapping Identifies a Homoeologous Non‐Reciprocal Translocation Linked to Reduced Fibre and Enhanced Protein in Brassica napus

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3219-3243, May 2026.
ABSTRACT A key challenge for the genetic improvement of canola (Brassica napus), one of the world's most important oilseeds, is the limited natural variation for commercially important traits. The creation of new variation is hindered by the lack of functional knowledge about genes controlling these traits.
