A guide to understanding and measuring photosynthetic induction: considerations and recommendations

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Photosynthetic induction is the leaf‐level process by which a plant assimilates CO2 from the atmosphere once exposed to a change in light intensity after a period of darkness or shade. In the field, photosynthetic induction can take place hundreds of times in a single day in response to rapid fluctuations in the light environment due to cloud ...

Expression of endochitinase and exochitinase in lettuce chloroplasts increases plant biomass and kills fungal pathogen Candida albicans

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 5, Page 1437-1451, May 2025.
Expression of exochitinase and endochitinase in lettuce highlights the potential of chloroplast genetic engineering for sustainable agriculture and biomedical applications, offering a safer alternative to chemical fertilizers and fungicides. Summary Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is a popular leafy vegetable with global production of ~28 million Mt ...

Expression of mannanase and glucanases in lettuce chloroplasts and functional evaluation of enzyme cocktail against Candida albicans in oral cancer patient samples

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Transplastomic expression of mannanase in lettuce and tobacco chloroplasts and inhibition of Candida albicans from oral cancer patient samples by plant enzyme cocktail. Summary Candida albicans is a human pathogen responsible for several diseases. C. albicans cell wall contains chitin, glucan and mannan.

Oilseed‐based metabolic engineering of astaxanthin and related ketocarotenoids using a plant‐derived pathway: Lab‐to‐field‐to‐application

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Ketocarotenoids, including astaxanthin, are red lipophilic pigments derived from the oxygenation of β‐carotene ionone rings. These carotenoids have exceptional antioxidant capacity and high commercial value as natural pigments, especially for aquaculture feedstocks to confer red flesh colour to salmon and shrimp.

African Horned Melon (Cucumis metuliferus): Climate‐Resilient Crop and Gene Donor in the Breeding of Major Cucurbits

Plant Breeding, Volume 144, Issue 2, Page 159-181, April 2025.
ABSTRACT African horned melon (Cucumis metuliferus E. Meyer ex Naudin, 2n = 2x = 24) is an under‐researched and under‐utilised cucurbit crop primarily grown for its nutritious fruit. In its centre of diversity, the crop is valued for its relatively high tolerance to insect pests, diseases, drought and heat stress. It is a potential opportunity crop and

Genetic Variation in Yield and Fruit Weight Among Strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa) Cultivars and the Interaction With Year and Location Effect

Plant Breeding, Volume 144, Issue 2, Page 263-272, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa) is an important crop in the United States. In this study, we analysed strawberry trials established across 7 years and two locations. Our objective was to estimate genetic parameters and predict breeding values for yield.

Long‐term sub‐erythemal UVB exposure does not impact circadian rhythms in mice under standard and rotating shift light conditions

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Circadian disruption is a potential carcinogen, but the impact of environmental carcinogens on circadian rhythms is unclear. Here we evaluated the impact of chronic UVB exposure with environmental‐ and genetic‐induced circadian disruption on mouse rhythmic locomotor activity and clock gene expression. Created in BioRender.

Managing and mitigating future public health risks: Planetary boundaries, global catastrophic risk, and inclusive wealth

Risk Analysis, EarlyView.
Abstract There are two separate conceptualizations for assessing existential risks: Planetary Boundaries (PBs) and global catastrophic risks (GCRs). While these concepts are similar in principle, their underpinning literatures tend not to engage with each other.
