Evolutionary history and taxonomy of the genus Zea

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Premise Taxonomic differentiation of teosinte species (Zea spp.), the closest relatives of maize (Z. mays) is crucial for understanding their distribution, ecology, and evolutionary history. Resolving the taxonomic uncertainties is of scientific interest and has practical implications for biodiversity management, preservation, and utilization.

Ethnomedicinal Uses of Thai Legumes (Fabaceae) and Their Potential in Industrial Applications

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Thai legumes (Fabaceae) are rich sources of bioactive phytochemicals, including saponins, flavonoids, biochanin A, and daidzein. These compounds contribute to diverse ethnomedicinal properties, including antioxidant, antiviral, anti‐inflammatory, anticancer, and cardioprotective activities.

Historical Plant Embryos as Alternative Sources of Ancient DNA for Whole Genome Sequencing

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural history and agricultural collections contain hundreds of millions of specimens classified in terms of time, space and taxonomy. Since the first success of ancient DNA (aDNA) isolation in the 1980s, these repositories, including herbaria for plants, have been intensively used to support studies in taxonomy, macroevolution and genetic ...

Impacts of Species Introductions on the Trait Diversity of Interacting Avian Frugivores and Fleshy‐Fruited Plants Depend on Native Trait Diversity

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The introduction of non‐native species to native ecological communities by humans is a major driver of global biodiversity change. Studying how species introductions influence interacting species is essential to understanding possible functional consequences of global change because biotic interactions are ecologically crucial.

The Global Pesticide Complex: Infrastructure, Fragility and Frontiers of Agrarian Change

Journal of Agrarian Change, Volume 26, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Although most pesticides have long been on the market, the political economy surrounding their production, regulation and use has undergone considerable change, spurring renewed interest in the social sciences. The global pesticide complex (GPC) is an analytical device to understand the multidimensional nature of these changes. In this special

Establishment dynamics of two zoysiagrass cultivars as affected by planting time, sprigging rate, and topdressing

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Vegetative establishment of zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.) is often slow, which can limit its adoption on golf courses. Understanding how establishment practices interact with cultivar selection and seasonal conditions is critical to improving success.

Radio Frequency Heating‐Induced Multilevel Injury of Plodia Interpunctella in Goji Berries and Concomitant Quality Variations of Goji Berries

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 5, September 2026.
RF heating reaches 52°C in 14 min (vs. 196 min for HA) and with 1.5 min holding achieves 100% larval mortality, inducing multilevel injury—cuticular damage, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and DNA fragmentation—while better preserving color, texture, and bioactive components than HA.
