A Plant‐Based Platform for the Production of Bark Beetle Pheromones
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bark beetle species of the genera Ips and Dendroctonus represent a threat to forests in both North America and Europe. Under normal circumstances, these beetles recycle dying trees into nutrients, but under certain conditions, growing populations can overcome healthy tree defenses and cause severe economic loss in forestry.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agricultural sustainability faces serious challenges from population growth, climate change and ecological degradation. Genetic modification (GM) technology can be regarded as a precise extension of the Green Revolution, aiming to balance yield enhancement with ecological integrity through biotechnology. To systematically examine global trend,

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plants can perceive specific elicitors in the oral secretions (OS) of herbivorous insects and respond by increasing their defences. Whether plants can discriminate among similar herbivorous insect species and differentially modulate their defence responses against them is largely unknown.

Crafting the Ocean: The Geographies of Environmental World‐Making
Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.Short Abstract The paper departs from existing analyses of ‘world making’, bringing cultural and environmental geographies into further conversation through linking theories of crafting and world‐making together, through the lens of the contemporary aquarium and nascent oceanic geographies.

Natural Sciences Education, Volume 55, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract In this article, we describe an inquiry‐based teaching activity developed in a public high school in Brazil. The objectives were to (a) develop an experimental activity grounded on the students’ autonomy for formulating and testing hypotheses, (b) address Biology topics from a historical and multidisciplinary perspective, (c) stimulate skills ...

Journal of Peptide Science, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.A lipopeptide is designed that contains an epitope from simian virus T‐antigen (SV40T, PKKKRKV) conjugated to an N‐terminal palmitoyl (C16‐) moiety, which acts as a cell‐penetrating lipopeptide, with additional aggregation propensity conferred by the lipid chain. The lipopeptide enables DNA delivery into the cytoplasm and nucleus.

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 176-189, March 2026.ABSTRACT Butylparaben (BuP) recurrently contaminates soils worldwide, mainly by incorporating sewage sludge into cultivated areas, using wastewater in irrigation, and leaching contaminated soils. However, there are few studies on the ecotoxicological effects of this paraben on edaphic organisms.
