Quiescin Sulfhydryl Oxidase‐Like 1 Positively Regulates Seed Dormancy in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed dormancy is an adaptive strategy that enables plants to survive adverse environmental conditions. In agricultural contexts, an optimal level of dormancy is essential: Insufficient dormancy can result in preharvest sprouting, while excessive dormancy may lead to uneven germination and poor stand establishment in subsequent crops.

Phage Display Derived Antibodies Against Antimicrobial Peptide FsPDF2 Reveal Stress Response in European Beech

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant defensins (PDFs) are cysteine‐rich antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that are important components of plant immunity. They occur constitutively in various plant tissues but are also upregulated upon stress. Therefore, these molecules are of great interest as markers for the diagnosis of early forest stress response in plants at the molecular

Field‐based evaluation of glass cullet as a supplementary sediment source for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
There is an ever‐increasing demand for sand to support projects like beach nourishment and dune restoration, but dredging and mining sand causes environmental damage. Demonstrating the environmental and ecological compatibility of crushed and ground glass known as cullet to support coastal restoration projects could simultaneously divert waste from ...

Strengthening Potentials of Lithium‐Doped Soda–Lime–Silicate Glasses Through Surface Crystallization of Quartz‐ss

International Journal of Applied Glass Science, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The formation of a crystallized surface layer, having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) than the parent glass, can be exploited to place the glass surface under compression during cooling from crystallization temperature and hence improve mechanical properties.

Alterations in plant architecture and physiology allow maize to sustain yield after early defoliation

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Maize (Zea mays L.) tolerance to early defoliation is shaped by genotype‐specific physiological and morphological responses. Defoliation disrupts the source–sink balance, altering carbon allocation and plant development. Understanding these responses is crucial for optimizing breeding programs and agronomic management.

Incorporation of Coconut Fibers Into Clay‐Based Mortars: A Study on Mechanical and Microscopic Behavior

International Journal of Ceramic Engineering &Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, March 2026.
Clay‐based mortar reinforced with coconut fibers showed improved flexural strength and promising mechanical performance, despite shrinkage‐induced cracks. The study highlights the potential of using waste and natural fibers in eco‐efficient mortars, emphasizing the importance of curing and moisture control.

Dose‐Dependent Effects of Biochar on Soil Revealed by Fast Field‐Cycling (FFC) NMR: From Molecular Water Dynamics to Soil Functionality

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 349-364, March 2026.
Dose–response of biochar in a clay soil: fifteen mixtures (fBC 0–1) reveal nonlinear thresholds (pH/EC) and sharp WHC gains near fBC ≈ 0.3–0.5. Coupled FT‐IR and FFC‐NMR (0.01–10 MHz; ModelFree τc distributions) link water dynamics to soil functionality.

CdCl2 Treatment for Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4: A Method to Enhance the Solar Cell Performance

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 271-285, March 2026.
We present, for the first time, two alternative CdCl2 treatments applied to solution‐processed kesterite (CZTSSe) absorbers: pre‐selenization and post‐selenization. Carrier concentration is consistently increased by either route, whereas the band gap decreases with pre‐selenization but remains nearly constant with post‐selenization; enhanced defect ...
