When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Metabolite Profiles and Antioxidant Activity of Dendrobium catenatum Under Simulated Wild Cultivation

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Dendrobium catenatum grown under simulated wild cultivation showed significantly higher flavonoids and stilbenes, leading to enhanced antioxidant activity in both leaves and stems compared to facility‐grown plants. Integrated metabolomics, antioxidant assays, and network pharmacology identified Denbinobin as a key multi‐target antioxidant compound ...

Disturbance from restoration reseeding is associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss and alters soil bacterial communities and functions in degraded alpine meadows of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Restoration reseeding of degraded alpine meadows increased aboveground vegetation but was associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss, coinciding with a microbial strategy shift from resident carbon‐preserving to carbon‐spending bacterial guilds. Abstract Background Restoration of degraded ecosystems is widely promoted as a nature‐based solution ...

Sorghum T2T pangenome highlights comprehensive genomic variation

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Three newly assembled telomere‐to‐telomere (T2T) genomes representing wild, landrace, and transformable germplasm were integrated with seven publicly available T2T genomes to construct a graph‐based pangenome. Comparative analyses revealed extensive centromere divergence, including distinct CEN137 monomer and CEN274 dimer organization, and showed that ...

Infection mechanisms of Rhizoctonia cerealis in wheat

iMeta, EarlyView.
We discover that R. cerealis (Rc) is a primary pathogen causing sharp eyespot of wheat after 335 distinct isolates were isolated from 1683 SE‐diseased wheat plants across China over 7 years using a single hyphal tip isolation method. We then generated high‐quality reference genomes via de novo sequencing of five representative Rc isolates and ...

Past, present and future of local crop evolution

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

Effect of Diluents and Storage Time on the Cryopreservation of Collared Peccary (Pecari tajacu) Semen after Cooling Storage in a Transport Container at 5 °C

Animals
We verified the possibility of cooling peccary semen for 4, 24, and 48 h before cryopreservation, using different dilution media (TRIS + egg yolk (20%) and PRIMXcell Ultra). Ten ejaculates were divided equally into six aliquots and then diluted.
