Bio‐guided fractionation of (9Z)‐5,8,11‐trihydroxyoctadec‐9‐enoic acid from Abelmoschus sagittifolius root as a potent α‐glucosidase inhibitor: An integrated in vitro and in silico study

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Abelmoschus sagittifolius stands out as a valuable medicinal source for developing functional food targeting type 2 diabetes. This study investigated the α‐glucosidase inhibitory potential of an active fraction obtained from A. sagittifolius roots (ASR), enriched in (9Z)‐5,8,11‐trihydroxyoctadec‐9‐enoic acid (OA), using both enzyme ...

Cereal‐Legume Rotation Benefits Soil Ecosystem Multifunctionality by Improving the Efficiency of Microbial Carbon Pump

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cereal‐legume rotation is regarded as an important agricultural management strategy for enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) and improving soil ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF). The soil microbial carbon pump (MCP) exerts a regulatory effect on the production of microbial necromass as well as the SOC accumulation.

Carbon‐Fixing Bacterial Network Complexity Mediates Soil Multifunctionality in a Panax notoginseng‐Pinus armandii Agroforestry System

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autotrophic carbon‐fixing bacteria (CFB) are central contributors to soil carbon sequestration and biogeochemical carbon cycling in agroforestry ecosystems and can act as reliable biological indicators for evaluating agroforestry ecosystem sustainability.

Annual–Perennial Forage Mixtures Improve Forage Productivity and Soil Quality in Patchily Degraded Cultivated Pastures Under Grazing Management

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patchy degradation of cultivated pastures under long‐term grazing is a serious issue limiting grassland productivity. The use of annual and perennial legume–grass mixtures, which offer complementary functional advantages, may provide a practical reseeding‐based approach for improving patchily degraded cultivated pastures; however, limited ...

Pedo‐Climatic Controls on Soil Health Recovery Across Cultivation Chronosequences: Hydraulic Conductivity as a Potential Link Between Soil Structure, Microbial Biomass, and Nutrient Availability

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term cultivation can improve soil health, but recovery may not follow the same pathway across contrasting soil and climate conditions. A key unresolved question is whether soil health recovery is mainly associated with the release of physical–chemical constraints or with the gradual rebuilding of carbon, microbial biomass, and nutrient ...

Deep Straw Incorporation With Supplemental Fertilization Improves Subsoil Quality and Maize Productivity

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deep straw incorporation is widely advocated for enhancing crop yields and improving agroecosystem functions and services. However, how this practice interacts with different fertilization strategies synergistically to influence soil quality and maize productivity remains unclear.

Effects of Straw Incorporation and Tillage Depth on Soil Quality in Mollisol Profiles

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although improvements in soil quality under straw incorporation have been well documented, responses across soil profiles under different tillage depths remain unclear. To address this issue, a field experiment was established in 2011 in Mollisols with conventional tillage (20 cm depth) without straw (CT) and with straw (SCT), no tillage with ...

Association of Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Receptor Agonists With Cancer Risk in Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The real‐world evidence on the association between glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RAs) and cancer risk remains limited and mixed. Methods In 2013–2020 national Medicare claims data, we included cancer‐naïve patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We identified those who initiated GLP‐1 RA, sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2
