Multi‐environment trials and participatory validation identify soybean genotypes with mechanized harvest‐enabling traits in Ghana

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) harvesting in Ghana is predominantly manual, and labor shortages frequently delay harvest beyond physiological maturity, exacerbating shattering losses. Mechanization could mitigate these losses, but effective combine harvesting requires cultivars with elevated first pod height (FPH) to minimize header losses ...

Ecological Reasons for the Unusually High Rate of Gastropod Drill Hole Repair in the Deep‐Sea Brachiopod Abyssothyris wyvillei From New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 3, September 2026.
Brachiopods are able to repair drill holes made in their shells by predatory gastropods. However, in most samples examined, drill hole repair is rare to absent: Presumably the drilling attack is usually fatal to the prey. The shells of short‐looped brachiopod Abyssothyris wyvillei, from deep‐sea dredge samples from two localities in the Tasman Sea, New

Are Insects Edible? A Narrative Review of Children's Perceptions of and Willingness to Consume Edible Insects

WIREs Climate Change
ABSTRACT Meat production is a significant contributor to climate change. Alternative proteins such as edible insects offer a lower‐emission, protein‐rich alternative to meat. Most of the research exploring attitudes to edible insect products does so with adult populations.

Molecular Mechanisms of Food Bioactive Constituents in the Management of Obesity and Hypertension: A Critical Review

Phytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Obesity and hypertension co‐exist and share molecular mechanisms in terms of dietary therapy, modulated by food bioactive constituents. ABSTRACT Obesity and hypertension are among the most pressing global public health challenges. They frequently co‐exist, with obesity‐related hypertension accounting for an estimated 75% of the hypertension burden ...

Edible Insect Allergens: An Emerging Food Safety Challenge

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
Allergic responses to edible insects arise via two main pathways: cross‐reactivity with homologous arthropod allergens and primary sensitization to edible insect proteins, both leading to IgE‐mediated immune activation. ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly promoted as sustainable protein sources; however, their allergenic potential remains a ...

First Assessment of Genetic Damage in the Speckled Cockroach (Nauphoeta cinerea) After Consumption of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) Cultivated and Commercialized in Northeastern, Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 9, Page 682-689, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study reports, for the first time, the use of the speckled cockroach Nauphoeta cinerea as a promising bioindicator for genotoxic monitoring. It was validated through control groups (both positive and negative) in addition to testing lettuce (Lactuca sativa ) samples from public street markets consumed by N. cinerea specimens in Pernambuco,
