Eggshell‐Based Biochar for Superior Adsorption of Crystal Violet Dye and Fluoride From Wastewater

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Present study investigates the efficiency of eggshell biochar as a low‐cost and ecofriendly adsorbent for the simultaneous removal of fluoride ions and crystal violet (CV) dye from wastewater. The eggshell waste was pyrolyzed to produce biochar, which was thoroughly characterized and subsequently employed for contaminant adsorption.

Toward an art of genomic selection in vegetable breeding

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Genomic selection (GS) is a powerful strategy for accelerating genetic gain in plant breeding. While in recent years GS has been widely adopted in breeding programs for agronomic crops, its implementation in vegetable breeding has been comparatively limited.

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

Ecology 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

Comprehensive 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.

Effect of Grafting on Watermelon Plant Growth, Yield and Quality

Journal of Agronomy, 2007
In this study, the effect of different rootstocks on watermelon plant growth, fruit yield and quality were studied by comparing grafted plants with non-grafted ones under low tunnels for early production and later open field growing conditions. The watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum and Nakai) cultivar Crispy was grafted onto TZ-148 and RS ...

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

International 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.

Twenty years of cucurbit breeding research at the World Vegetable Center

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract The contribution of cucurbit crops to global food and nutrition security is immense. They are economically and nutritionally important to smallholder farmers in Asia, who account for 81% of global cucurbit production. World Vegetable Center (WorldVeg) has been focused for 20 years on four species: bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), ridge ...

Resistance Screening and Targeted Metabolomics Identify Potential Biomarkers for Resistance in African Eggplant Against Fusarium elaeidis Wilt

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium elaeidis (Foe) threatens the African eggplant (AEP), so the development of resistant genotypes is needed. The study aimed to identify genotypes resistant to Foe and analyze the changes in phenylpropanoid metabolites and phytohormones that underlie the resistance.
