Canadian boreal restored mining sites sustain diverse pollinator communities, including species of conservation concern

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Revegetated mine tailing storage facilities support pollinator abundance, diversity, richness and evenness comparable to recently logged boreal forest sites. Agronomic and spontaneous revegetation strategies host similar pollinator and Bombus community structures, indicating multiple rehabilitation approaches can effectively restore pollinator habitat.

Integrated Metabolomics and Selection Signal Analysis Provide Insights Into the Selection for Flavonol Biosynthesis Associated With Lettuce Quality Improvement

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lettuce is a critical leafy vegetable consumed worldwide and is a substantial dietary source of health‐promoting compounds. Exploring changes in metabolism during lettuce domestication under artificial selection conditions is important to facilitate further breeding and cultivation for quality improvement.

Evolution‐Inspired Engineering of Diterpene Biosynthesis via Chloroplast Genome Modification

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terpenes constitute the largest and most structurally diverse class of plant secondary metabolites, with critical roles in plant‐environment interactions and broad industrial applications. Although nuclear genome engineering of terpene pathways has been extensively explored, chloroplast genome engineering remains largely undeveloped, with all ...

Researches Regarding the Influence of Cold Storage on the Chlorophyll Content in Lettuce

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
The aim of the present investigations was to determine the effect of the cold storage period on the content of chlorophylls in the leaves of lettuce and arugula (rucola). The research material consisted in two types of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.

Impact of Crude Oil Contamination on Green Leafy Vegetables: Nutritional and Health Risk Assessments

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT For decades, crude oil spills have been a serious environmental challenge which have led to the establishment of crude oil remediation intervention values (CRIV) by different national agencies to regulate the release of toxic petroleum hydrocarbons via these spills.

The Distribution and Feeding Ecology of Three Marine Invertebrates in a Customary Fisheries Management Area and Implications for Restoration

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Biotic interactions are fundamental to the structuring of marine communities. Predator–prey and competitive interactions can drive species distribution, abundance and mediate individual behaviour. These interactions are especially important to understand in the context of restoration.

Stability studies of cynaropicrin–major sesquiterpene lactone of Cynara cardunculus leaves

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8820-8830, September 2026.
This study investigated its stability under high temperature and pH, mimicking agronomic extremes and under soil context. Bioassays demonstrated that degradation products exhibited higher phytotoxic activity than cynaropicrin and deacylcynaropicrin. This is the first study about cynaropicrin's stability, characterizing degradation products, and their ...

Valorization of green macroalgae Ulva lactuca as a potential dietary Ingredient for stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus) and sterlet sturgeon (Acipenser ruthenus)

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Animal Science and Biotechnologies
This study evaluated the effects of Ulva lactuca, a marine macroalgae, on growth, hematology, oxidative stress, and immune markers in two sturgeon species, Acipenser stellatus and Acipenser ruthenus, in a recirculating aquaculture system.

First Assessment of Genetic Damage in the Speckled Cockroach (Nauphoeta cinerea) After Consumption of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) Cultivated and Commercialized in Northeastern, Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 9, Page 682-689, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study reports, for the first time, the use of the speckled cockroach Nauphoeta cinerea as a promising bioindicator for genotoxic monitoring. It was validated through control groups (both positive and negative) in addition to testing lettuce (Lactuca sativa ) samples from public street markets consumed by N. cinerea specimens in Pernambuco,
