Hydromulches in Organic Strawberry Production: Effects on Densities of Insect Pests and Natural Enemies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Liquid‐sprayable cellulose hydromulches (HM) are alternatives to plastic polyethylene (PE) mulches for weed suppression in organic agriculture. However, their impact on arthropod pests and natural enemies remains unexplored. Various HMs made of shredded newsprint, water and guar gum were compared against white‐on‐black PE mulch, paper sheet ...

Embedded Pesticide Use: Exploring the Pesticide‐Land Nexus

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the turn of the century, global land grabs, farmland financialization and land‐based food sovereignty movements have returned the land question to the heart of agrarian studies. Meanwhile, abiding interest in pesticides has been reanimated in the face of changes in production, regulation and knowledge of toxicity.

Diets, fruit and vegetables consumption, and nutritional status in Benin: A scoping review

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
This scoping review summarised existing literature on diets, fruit and vegetable intake, and nutritional status in Benin. Key knowledge gaps were on the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies and differences in fruit and vegetable intake by geographical and socioeconomic characteristics.

Understanding the Evidence Gaps: Diets and Fruit and Vegetable Intake Across Five Diverse Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
This perspective article synthesizes findings from scoping reviews examining diet and F&V intake, and interventions to increase F&V consumption among population groups in five countries: Benin, Fiji, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Tanzania. ABSTRACT Poor dietary quality, particularly inadequate fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake, remains a significant ...

Gene Editing of Nicotiana benthamiana Architecture for Space‐Efficient Production of Recombinant Proteins in Closed Environments

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Indoor vertical farming (VF) offers practical advantages for the cultivation of plant protein bio‐factories including plant uniformity, product consistency, water/nutrient recycling and production cycles on a year‐round basis. Much progress has been achieved toward the development of innovative systems for artificial lighting, automated ...

Effects of Antimitotic Agents, Temperature and Immersion Time on Chromosome Doubling Efficiency in Supersweet Corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata)

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Doubled haploid technology accelerates the development of fully homozygous maize lines compared with conventional selfing. However, specific protocols for supersweet corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata), particularly regarding immersion time in antimitotic solutions and temperature during chromosome doubling, remain poorly defined.

Thermal Safety Margins and Peak Leaf Temperatures Predict Vulnerability of Diverse Plant Species to an Experimental Heatwave

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extreme heat can push plants beyond their thermal safety margin (TSM) if maximum leaf temperature (Tleaf_max) exceeds leaf critical temperature (Tcrit). The TSM is potentially useful for assessing heat vulnerability across species but needs further validation, so we exposed 50 tree/shrub species in controlled glasshouses to a 6‐day heatwave ...

Rhizosphere Engineering by Root Exudates: High‐Yielding Alfalfa Recruits Functional PGPR to Sustain Soil Nutrient Availability Under Long‐Term Cultivation

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil nutrient transformation capacity is a critical determinant of sustainable productivity in perennial cropping systems; however, the extent to which high‐yielding crops actively regulate rhizosphere microbial assembly to maintain nutrient availability remains poorly understood.

A Wild Emmer Wheat B3 Transcription Factor Regulates Seed Growth and Nutrient Allocation

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed weight (SW) and nutrient allocation are key determinants of yield and grain quality in wheat, yet the regulatory basis of naturally occurring variation in these traits remains poorly resolved. Wild emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccoides), the progenitor of modern wheat, retains extensive eco‐geographically structured genetic diversity that was
