First Measurements of Mixed Floral Traits Influencing Anacardium occidentale (Anacardeacae) Attractiveness to Bees in Côte d'Ivoire: Conservation and Agricultural Implications

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This paper will contribute to include/use the bees' floral preference (floral traits related to bee' visitations) to find and validate genetic markers that would enable breeding high‐yielding cashew plants and preserving pollinators. ABSTRACT In Sub‐Saharan Africa, cashew plants face challenges in suitable pollination and good agronomic performances ...

Functionality Enhancement of Pullulan‐Based Composites for Food Packaging Applications

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Contemporary research in food packaging is focused on developing sustainable alternatives to petroleum‐based materials. Pullulan, a microbial biopolymer traditionally employed as a food additive, is harnessing interest for food packaging applications due to its exceptional film‐forming ability, biodegradability, and nontoxic nature.

cmv1 is a gate for Cucumber mosaic virus transport from bundle sheath cells to phloem in melon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) has the broadest host range among plant viruses, causing enormous losses in agriculture. In melon, strains of subgroup II are unable to establish a systemic infection in the near‐isogenic line SC12‐1‐99, which carries the ...

Optimization of Podocarpus falcatus Seed Oil Epoxidation Using a Sulfonated Carbon Catalyst Derived From Rice Husk

open access: yesInternational Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
With the growing environmental concern and the limited global reserves of fossil fuels, the search for sustainable, nontoxic, and environmentally friendly substitutes for oil of mineral origin has become imperative. Podocarpus falcatus seed oil as a renewable resource for the production of epoxy oils has been explored in this research.
