Effect of Expanded Perlite and Exfoliated Vermiculite Aggregate Additives on Water Vapor Permeability Performance of Cement-Based Lightweight Mortars

Journal of Sustainable Construction Materials and Technologies
Vapor diffusion is the movement of water vapor molecules through porous materials such as wood, insulation products, and lightweight wall elements due to differences in vapor pressure.

Drought Stress Promotes Aphis gossypii Growth but Decreases Host Attractiveness in Melon

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 770-779, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought stress is a significant environmental factor that affects plant physiology and growth, leading to considerable detrimental effects on crop productivity. Cucumis melo, which is widely cultivated for its economic value, is particularly susceptible to water scarcity.

Key metabolites secreted by Chlorella vulgaris alleviate salt stress in soybean seedlings

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 2018-2036, July 2026.
Chlorella vulgaris secretes exosome‐derived linolenic acid and inosine, which alleviate salt stress and enhance salt tolerance in soybean seedlings by activating stress‐responsive signaling networks. ABSTRACT Soil salinization is a major abiotic stress factor that reduces soybean production.

Regulatory Responses of Ectothermic Embryos to Predicted Heat Stresses Under Near‐Future Climate Change

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 13, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Heat stress can disrupt coordinated regulatory processes underpinning normal development, resulting in embryonic malformation and inviability. Embryonic buffering against thermal challenge may therefore play a crucial role in individual survival and population resilience under heat stress.

Evaluation of properties and modification mechanism of organic expanded vermiculite/waste rubber powder modified asphalt

Journal of Road Engineering
Severe segregation and poor rheological properties in crumb rubber (CR) modified asphalt (CRMT) were addressed by investigating the performance improvement effect of organic expanded vermiculite (OEV) as a co-modifier, while the modification mechanism of

Three closely linked X‐chromosomal genes potentially control sex determination in Cannabis sativa

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 505-522, July 2026.
Summary Sex determination mechanisms in dioecious plants remain poorly understood yet offer an excellent model system to study genetic changes underlying morphological evolution. We investigated the genetic basis of sex determination in Cannabis sativa, combining quantitative trait locus mapping in a segregating population, comparative transcriptomics ...

Dynamic Landscapes of Long Noncoding RNAs During Early Root Development and Differentiation in Glycine max and Glycine soja

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3612-3625, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Soybean (Glycine max) is an important crop for its nutritional value. Its wild relative, Glycine soja, provides a valuable genetic resource for improving soybean productivity. Root development and differentiation are essential for soybean plants to take up water and nutrients, store energy and anchor themselves.

Rhizobia–Bean Symbiosis Increases Root Herbivore Attraction and Growth via Volatile Signals and Enhanced Nutrition

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3952-3962, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The symbiosis between nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia and plants is considered mutually beneficial, yet its indirect effects on other organisms remain understudied. We examined how rhizobia symbiosis in Phaseolus vulgaris influences the behaviour and performance of Diabrotica balteata larvae. Specifically, we tested larval preference for nodulated (R+

Organic expanded vermiculite as an alternative to filler for improving aging resistance of asphalt mixture

The organic expanded vermiculite (OEVMT) is a good anti-aging agent for asphalt binder due to its excellent heat and oxygen barrier properties. However, the application form of OEVMT is usually limited to being as a modifier for asphalt binder while ...

Salt Stress Adaptations in Soybean Involve Alterations in Pre‐mRNA Processing

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4000-4014, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Salt stress can seriously affect plant survival. To adapt to salt stress, plants can alter gene expressions and/or pre‐mRNA processing patterns, or both. Previous studies could not comprehensively profile stress‐responsive pre‐mRNA processing patterns due to limitations in traditional sequencing technologies.
