Circadian Clock Gates Verticillium dahliae Defence in Cotton by Modulating JAZs Expression
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, Page 5526-5543, October 2026.ABSTRACT The circadian clock plays critical roles in orchestrating temporal regulation of diverse physiological processes. However, its role in mediating root‐associated immunity against soil‐borne pathogens in crops remains poorly understood. Here, we show that cotton circadian clock gates nighttime resistance to vascular fungal pathogen Verticillium ...

Microbial volatile compounds enhance drought resilience and productivity in CAM and C3 crops
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1820-1833, October 2026.Microbial volatiles EV and CAMP, derived from Bacillus spp. and Beauveria pseudobassiana associated with agaves and cacti, respectively, enhance drought resilience and productivity in Agave tequilana and tomato. Abstract Plants interact with their associated microbiota through diverse chemical cues, including microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs)

Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 984-1004, September 2026.ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The

Soaking Water Management Strategies for Enhanced Quality of Parboiled Rice
Cereal Chemistry, Volume 103, Issue 5, Page 790-798, September/October 2026.ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Parboiling is a hydrothermal process that alters rice physicochemical and nutritional properties. The soaking step is crucial, influencing off‐flavor formation, mineral retention, and effluent quality. This study evaluated five soaking water (SW) management strategies combining different frequencies and volumes of SW ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.We combined a global rDNA‐ITS dataset with TEF‐1α sequences and newly sequenced isolates to examine phylogenetic signal, host associations, and population structure in the soil‐borne pathogen Rhizoctonia solani. Most anastomosis groups formed well‐supported clades, and host‐associated patterns corresponded more strongly with genetic structure than ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.We developed a species distribution model to assess habitat suitability for the European wildcat across Italy, integrating newly collected occurrence records and mitochondrial DNA data from the Central–Southern Apennines. Forest and grassland cover and elevation emerged as the main predictors of occurrence, with the highest suitability concentrated in ...

Morphological Changes and Alterations in Erosion–Accretion Patterns in a Semiarid Brazilian River
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.Flow regulation by the Castanhão Dam significantly altered discharge dynamics and reduced sediment transport in the Jaguaribe River. Long‐term analysis (1958–2025) reveals attenuated flood peaks, decreased channel migration and progressive downstream stabilisation, highlighting persistent geomorphic adjustments in a regulated semiarid fluvial system ...

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 5, September/October 2026.ABSTRACT Food insecurity persists among smallholder farming households in low‐income countries, yet the relationships between financial inclusion and agricultural productivity, severe hunger, and dietary diversity remain inadequately understood. This study investigates these relationships using primary survey data from 636 randomly selected smallholder

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 5, September/October 2026.ABSTRACT Farmland fragmentation is a critical structural constraint hindering the improvement of farmers' chemical fertilizer use efficiency. However, crop‐specific micro‐level evidence focusing on maize growers, along with systematic empirical verification of the moderating roles of mechanized fertilization and labor input, remains lacking.
