Optimization of light spectrum and intensity to enhance growth and metabolite profiles in green and purple radish microgreens cultivated in a vertical farming system

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 5, Page 3118-3129, 30 March 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Microgreens have emerged as a promising crop in vertical farming due to their high nutritional value and short growth cycles. Light spectrum and intensity are critical factors influencing biomass production and metabolic activity in plants, particularly in controlled environments such as vertical farming systems. This study aimed to

Selenium biofortification: integrating one health and sustainability

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 1955-1967, 15 March 2026.
Abstract Selenium (Se) biofortification in crops has emerged as a promising strategy to address global Se deficiencies and enhance both agricultural productivity and human health. Increasing the Se content of crops through biofortification improves their resilience to abiotic and biotic stresses and boosts their nutritional value.

Diversification with minor oilseeds: Effects on system productivity and nitrogen use efficiency in semi‐arid Canadian prairies

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Diversified cropping systems in the semi‐arid Canadian prairies comprise major cereal, oilseed, and pulse crops. Further diversification with minor oilseeds, such as oriental (Brassica juncea), industrial (Brassica carinata L.), and yellow (Sinapis alba L.) mustard, camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz], and flax (Linum usitatissimum L ...

Boscisucrophage: A Natural SGLT1/2 Inhibitor From Boscia senegalensis for Managing Type 2 Diabetes

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Boscisucrophage (BSP) significantly reduced blood glucose and HbA1c, increased urine glucose excretion, and improved functional symptoms in T2DM patients resistant to oral antihyperglycemic drugs. BSP showed no adverse effects on liver or kidney function.

The gut microbiome promotes the growth performance of black soldier fly larvae by detoxifying uric acid

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
This study demonstrates the detrimental effects of exogenous uric acid (UA) on the growth of black soldier fly (BSF) larvae, highlighting the role of gut microbiota in UA degradation. We isolated UA‐degrading bacterial strains associated with BSF, including Enterococcus faecalis AHAU24.

Flow Cytometry Role in Unlocking New Frontiers for Nanomedicine Applications of Plant‐Derived Vesicles

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale membrane‐bound vesicles released by any cell type under both physiological and pathological conditions. They carry a wide array of bioactive molecules, including microRNAs (miRNAs), lipids, proteins and other small biomolecules, and therefore play a key role in intercellular communication by ...

Aphid Resistance Segregates Independently of Cardenolide and Glucosinolate Content in an Erysimum cheiranthoides (Wormseed Wallflower) F2 Population

Plants
Plants in the genus Erysimum produce both glucosinolates and cardenolides as a defense mechanism against herbivory. Two natural isolates of Erysimum cheiranthoides (wormseed wallflower) differed in their glucosinolate content, cardenolide content, and ...
