Hurdles to overcome to achieve biostimulant‐driven, low chemical input crop production
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Crop production requires considerable chemical inputs that result in significant greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental costs. Biostimulants are natural agents, such as microorganisms or seaweed, applied to plants and soil to stimulate plant growth and reduce chemical inputs. Biostimulant use is rapidly increasing globally, but hurdles remain,

Azole antifungal contaminants disrupt mycorrhizal function and risk agricultural sustainability
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Global food production is increasingly threatened by soil degradation, climate change and the rising costs of synthetic fertilisers. Circular agriculture, which promotes resource reuse, is a promising solution, but using treated wastewater and biosolids in farming introduces risks from emerging contaminants like pharmaceutical residues.

Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.

Incorporating soil biological and functional attributes to advance ecological restoration
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Earth is currently experiencing a mass extinction crisis, predominantly driven by anthropogenic activities, with land use change causing widespread loss and degradation of native ecosystems and indigenous species. There is an urgent need to halt this trend and restore degraded habitat to preserve biodiversity and protect threatened plants and animals ...

The landscape and evolutionary dynamics of derived lncRNAs in insects
Communications BiologyLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) function as crucial regulatory elements in eukaryotes, yet have remained largely unexplored across diverse insect lineages. We present a comprehensive analysis of lncRNA atlases across 115 insect species, identifying 647,691

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Agricultural production systems in the global North combine monocultures of specialised varieties and breeds with external interventions and inputs. Increasing the diversity of varieties, breeds and species may increase the system's resilience to external pressures through beneficial interactions.

The effects of flower supplementation on pollinators and pollination along an urbanisation gradient
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Enhancing urban greenspaces for pollinator communities by planting flower patches is increasingly common, but their efficacy for different groups of insects (bees, hoverflies and moths) is unclear. Our city‐scale experiment demonstrated that the effect of flower patches on pollinators is complex, and direct benefits to specific insects are difficult to

Biological roles of pyrazines in insect chemical communication
Chemical and Biological Technologies in AgriculturePyrazines, a widespread class of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic volatiles, are crucial semiochemicals in insect ecology, orchestrating behaviors ranging from alarm signaling and aposematism to aggregation and mate recognition.
