Styrene and its natural analogues: accumulation and sustainable production methods

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Styrene, also known as vinyl benzene, is a colourless, highly volatile petrochemical that serves as a key monomer in the production of polystyrene and styrene‐butadiene rubber. Its industrial synthesis via the alkylation of benzene with ethylene relies on fossil fuels, requiring high temperatures and toxic catalysts that contribute to ...

Fine mapping of cucumber downy mildew resistance loci identifies candidate genes linked to ethylene‐associated stomatal defence

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Downy mildew, caused by Pseudoperonospora cubensis, is one of the most destructive diseases affecting cucumber and remains difficult to manage sustainably through fungicide‐dependent control strategies. Although several resistance loci have been reported, many previously mapped regions remain too broad for efficient marker‐assisted ...

Deep Dermatophytosis Associated With Inherited CARD9 Deficiency: Efficacy of Topical 1% Voriconazole

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deep dermatophytosis (DD) is a rare, life‐threatening fungal infection associated with autosomal recessive CARD9 deficiency. Management remains challenging, as systemic antifungals often fail to achieve lasting control. A 54‐year‐old man with a 20‐year history of ulcerative skin lesions and confirmed CARD9 deficiency (Q289X/Q289X) presented ...

Simulated Trampling Disturbance Alters Biocrust Microbial Communities and Soil Functions: A Container‐Based Mesocosm Experiment

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are crucial components of dryland ecosystems; however, they are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances, particularly trampling caused by grazing. To evaluate the impacts of trampling on biocrust structure, microbial communities, and soil functions, we conducted a mesocosm‐based simulated disturbance ...

Species‐Specific Shrub Encroachment Drives Divergent Soil Fungal Assembly Processes and Network Structures in Alpine Meadows

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shrub encroachment is rapidly transforming alpine meadow ecosystems worldwide, yet its consequences for belowground microbial organization remain insufficiently understood, particularly when different shrub species exert contrasting ecological effects.

Effects of Composite Reclamation Models of Sea Buckthorn, A Pioneer Species in Semi‐Arid Regions, on Soil Quality and Microbial Communities

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open‐pit coal mining severely degrades soil and ecosystem functions, constraining regional sustainability. Vegetation‐based reclamation has therefore been widely adopted as an effective approach to promote soil recovery and ecosystem restoration.

Divergent Responses of Fungal Communities to Vegetation Structural Complexity in Degraded Roadside Slopes Across Climatic Gradients

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how climate and vegetation structural complexity jointly shape fungal communities is essential for effective roadside slope restoration. To address this, we examined restoration effects on fungal diversity, community composition, and ecological networks across three climatically distinct regions: dry‐hot valley, subalpine, and ...

Tree Species Configuration Shapes Soil Phosphorus Fractions and Microbial Communities in Uneven‐Aged Multilayered Chinese Fir–Broadleaved Mixed Forests

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) plantations in southern China are often limited by phosphorus (P) availability, constraining productivity and sustainable management. We hypothesized that multi‐species, multilayered, uneven‐aged configurations would enhance soil P availability by regulating P fractions and microbial P transformation. This

Reclamation Period and Straw Type Alter Soil Organic Carbon Composition via CAZyme Families in Coal Mine Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon (SOC) stabilization is crucial for effective ecological restoration in coal‐mining areas, yet the mechanisms underlying straw‐mediated carbon sequestration remain poorly understood. This study investigated how equal‐carbon but different‐mass incorporation of maize (S + M) and wheat (S + W) straw incorporation, across ...

Is DNA metabarcoding an option for formaldehyde‐preserved zooplankton time series?

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of amplifiable DNA from formaldehyde‐fixed (FF) zooplankton samples has long been considered problematic, but advances in degraded‐DNA retrieval have renewed interest in FF samples. To access the information stored in long‐term zooplankton time series, we evaluated methods for extracting amplifiable DNA from community samples ...
