ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.

A Non‐Host Pathogen Elicitor Induces Blast Resistance Mediated by OsNAC78‐Pir7b Module in Rice
ABSTRACT Plants exhibit broad‐spectrum and persistent resistance induced by non‐host pathogens. Previous studies have found that syringolin A secreted by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae can activate the expression of defense‐related gene Pir7b in non‐host rice, but the underlying mechanism remains ambiguous.

ABSTRACT Cereal crops are fundamental to global food security, but their production is increasingly challenged by rising demand and the unpredictable impacts of climate change. Among the most limiting and interdependent resources sustaining yields are nitrogen and water.

ABSTRACT Molecular chaperones play a central role in the plant proteostasis machinery by aiding the folding of nascent proteins, preventing aggregation, and repairing or degrading damaged proteins. These functions are especially essential during abiotic and biotic stress, which can destabilise cellular proteins and disrupt metabolic homoeostasis.

Knock‐down of a xylem‐localized citrate transporter, FRDL1, reduces foliar iron concentrations and leaf symptoms under excess ferrous iron stress in rice. Abstract Iron (Fe) toxicity is a common agricultural problem that limits rice yield in various regions of Southeast Asia and Africa.

Abstract The primary objective is to critically analyze approaches to local therapy for periodontal disease, particularly in light of its well‐established systemic implications. We specifically address common misconceptions and overestimations regarding the potential of local treatments in contrast to their actual clinical effectiveness.

Abstract Introduction Conservation physiology is a valuable tool for addressing the major challenges of tropical restoration programs. One key issue is the need for non‐destructive methods to study the functional responses of highly threatened species in order to minimize impacts on natural populations.

Selection of native Atlantic Forest species for urban greening under air pollution stress
Abstract Introduction The Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) is widely used to identify pollution‐tolerant species for afforestation; however, it was not designed to account for traits such as pollutant accumulation or biomass storage, which are also relevant for evaluating environmental resilience.

ABSTRACT Native to America, the pineapple—Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.—delighted the Europeans who came across it. The fruit was mentioned by the voyagers and missionaries who observed and tasted it in the Americas and, from the 1500s onwards, infused reports, chronicles and natural history treatises with colour and flavour.

Are Less Affluent People Less Likely to Run for Political Office?
Abstract In almost all democracies, elected officials are better off than most of the citizens they represent. Recent research has shown that this descriptive misrepresentation is partly due to voter and party bias against less well‐off candidates. In this paper, we explore a third possible explanation: Are less affluent people less likely to run for ...
