An Effective Approach for Recognition of Crop Diseases Using Advanced Image Processing and YOLOv8

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
The performance of processed images is evaluated using mean‐squared‐error and peak‐signal‐to‐noise ratio. After the processing phase, an advanced deep learning model, YOLOv8, was used for the segmentation and classification of crop diseases. Using a large dataset comprising 32 diseases to train our model, we implemented Transfer Learning using YOLOv8 ...

Nutrient availability modulates impacts of short‐term shifts in temperature and grazing on phytoplankton composition and size structure

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The significant contribution of phytoplankton to global primary production is regulated by several abiotic and biotic factors, which are often difficult to account for in natural systems. To address these challenges, we perturbed a summer plankton community from Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, USA, by manipulating the temperature and nutrient ...

Novel Wide‐Spectrum Virucidal Lipid Nanoparticles

Small, Volume 22, Issue 7, 2 February 2026.
POSTAN is a novel broad‐spectrum antiviral nanoparticle that combines safety with potent virucidal activity. Composed of biocompatible lipids, it mimics heparan sulfate proteoglycans and lipid rafts exploited by viruses, thereby dismantling viral envelopes and blocking replication.

An Explicit Test of Kill the Winner: Protistan Grazing and Phage Lysis Differentially Impact Fast‐Growing Bacterial Taxa in the Coastal Antarctic

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2026.
We evaluated whether predators ‘kill the winner’ wherein protists and phages preferentially impact the most abundant members of bacterial assemblages over an austral summer with weekly dilution experiments. Seawater from 10 m was divided into two serial dilutions with either 0.2 μm (to evaluate protist grazing) or 30 kDa (to evaluate protist grazing ...

Role of mitochondrial complex I genes in host plant expansion of Bactrocera tau (Tephritidae: Diptera) by CRISPR/Cas9 system

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 147-158, February 2026.
The role of 3 mitochondrial complex I gene in host expansion of Bactrocera tau was verified by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system. A stable homogenous strain (Btndufa7‐/‐) of B.tau was established after silencing Ndufa7. The reduced size of larvae and pupae of Ndufa7 knockout strain was first found.Then different levels of fitness and relative expression ...

Temperature‐independent arrest in female reproduction in a tropical fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Polyphagous tropical fruit flies of the genus Bactrocera are generally assumed to undergo continuous breeding on the basis that hosts and temperature are not limiting. However, in their endemic monsoonal rainforest habitats, breeding hosts are not always available, and repeatable seasonal population depression for Bactrocera species has been ...

‘Pagbangon at Pag‐Asa’ (Resurgence and Hope): A Qualitative Study of the Lived Experiences of People With Stroke and Household Carers in the Philippines

Health Expectations, Volume 29, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality in the Philippines, where access to formal rehabilitation services is limited. There is a lack of research on the lived experiences of people with stroke and their household carers across diverse urban and rural settings.

The Content of Dietary Melatonin in 119 Food Items and Its Relationship With Chronic Diseases: Results of the CUME+ Study

Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Dietary melatonin, naturally occurring in plant‐ and animal‐based foods, has been linked to beneficial effects on sleep, mood and metabolic health. Although evidence suggests that food‐derived melatonin may elevate circulating levels, few studies have assessed its intake through habitual diets or explored associations with chronic ...
