Breeding 5.0: Artificial intelligence (AI)‐decoded germplasm for accelerated crop innovation
ABSTRACT Crop breeding technologies are vital for global food security. While traditional methods have improved yield, stress tolerance, and nutrition, rising challenges such as climate instability, land loss, and pest pressure now demand new solutions.

ABSTRACT Objective Previous studies on the relationship between global (top‐down) and domain‐specific (bottom‐up) evaluations of life satisfaction have revealed mixed findings. The current study investigated the reciprocal relationship between top‐down and bottom‐up processes using two analytic methods to properly account for time‐varying predictors ...

ABSTRACT Objective Remote residents have worse health outcomes than metropolitan residents, but whether geography impacts the outcomes of children with prenatal drug exposure (PDE) is uncertain. Design and Main Outcome Measures Linked population data was used to compare rates of death, hospitalisation, emergency department (ED) encounters and placement

A Principled Framework for Mendelian Randomization in Oral Health Research
This methodological article provides a clear and accessible overview of Mendelian randomization for oral health researchers, emphasizing the core assumptions needed for credible causal inference. Focusing on applications in oral health, particularly periodontitis, it highlights both the strengths and limitations of the study design in order to support ...
