Ceramic ecology in an Islamic capital: changes in the production and consumption of pottery in Palermo

Early Medieval Europe, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 555-575, November 2026.
Palermo became the new capital of Sicily after the Aghlabid conquest in 831. The transformation of the city into a capital took many forms, including the production and consumption of pottery. The perspective from ceramic evidence shows that Palermo underwent faster and deeper processes of Islamization than other urban and rural contexts across the ...

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2119-2133, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Genome-wide identification and transcriptomic analysis of the MAPK family provides insights into the molecular basis of disease resistance of postharvest eggplant in response to Botrytis cinerea

Frontiers in Plant Science
Eggplant (Solanum melongena), an important crop for food supply, can suffer from severe gray mold rot caused by Botrytis cinerea, resulting in huge postharvest damage every year.

Graft Biology in the CRISPR Era: From Tissue Fusion to Genome Compatibility

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant lineage has traditionally constrained grafting compatibility, with monocots generally considered incompatible because of their dispersed vascular bundles and limited secondary growth. Recent studies have shown that embryonic grafting can establish successful graft unions in selected monocot systems by exploiting early developmental ...

Sustainable PEG‐Based Shape‐Stabilized Phase Change Materials Using Raw Pine Cone as a Low‐Cost Filler and Graphite for Enhanced Thermal Conductivity

Polymer Engineering &Science, Volume 66, Issue 10, Page 7759-7780, October 2026.
Preparation of sustainable PEG‐based ssPCMs using a PC‐based low‐cos filler and G as a thermal enhancer. PEG 6000 is incorporated into the PC/G matrix through mixing to obtain the shape‐stabilized PCM for thermal energy storage applications. ABSTRACT This study investigates the development of a novel shape‐stabilized phase change material (ssPCM ...

RNA‐Guided Engineering of the Chloroplast Genome Enabled by Plastid‐Expressed Guide RNAs

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, Page 5498-5509, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Our goal is to develop RNA‐guided engineering of the chloroplast genome using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. We designed chloroplast minigenes to obtain properly sized single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) in tobacco chloroplasts. The sgRNA 5′ end is defined by transcription from an rRNA operon promoter, and its 3′ end by processing a downstream tRNA (trnG) or ...
