Status and future of seed conservation of threatened plants in the post‐2020 era

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1763-1777, September 2026.
Ambitious targets have been set to backup seeds of threatened plants by the global strategy for plant conservation (GSPC), but it is unclear in how far these targets have been met and how seed collection should be organized to meet future challenges. Here, we provide an overview of the status of 44 countries in achieving seed conservation targets.

Cost of debt for private firms revisited: voluntary audits as a reflection of risk

International Review of Economics & Finance
We examine the relation between voluntary audit and the cost of debt in private firms. We use a sample of 7420 small private firms operating in the period 2006-2022 that are not subject to mandatory audits. Firms self-select into voluntary audits because

Aquabis(2,2′-bipyridine-κ2N,N′)(1H-indole-2-carboxylato-κO)nickel(II) 1H-indole-2-carboxylate dihydrate

Acta Crystallographica Section E, 2009
The hydrothermal reaction of Ni2(OH)2CO3 with 2,2′-bipyridine and 2-indolyl-formic acid in CH3OH/H2O at 423 K for 7 d produced the novel NiII complex [Ni(C9H6NO2)(C10H8N2)2(H2O)](C9H6NO2)·2H2O.

Gender Differences in Performance and Development Potential and Resulting Impacts on Promotions

International Journal of Selection and Assessment, Volume 34, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Performance appraisals (PAs) are widely used to assess employees' performance and development potential, influencing decisions about work allocation, compensation, promotion, and employee termination. Because PAs are so influential, any differences in evaluations between demographic groups—such as between men and women—are incredibly important,

Genome Sequence of a Nephritogenic and Highly Transformable M49 Strain ofStreptococcus pyogenes [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2008
ABSTRACTThe 1,815,783-bp genome of a serotype M49 strain ofStreptococcus pyogenes(group A streptococcus [GAS]), strain NZ131, has been determined. This GAS strain (FCT type 3;emmpattern E), originally isolated from a case of acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, is unusually competent for electrotransformation and has been used extensively as a ...

Foreign labor, peer‐networking and agricultural efficiency in the Italian dairy sector

Agribusiness, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 1080-1102, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT While the presence of immigrants in the agricultural sector is widely acknowledged, the empirical evidence on its economic consequences is lacking, especially from a microeconomic perspective. Using the Farm Accountancy Data Network panel data for Italian dairy farms in the period 2008–2018, the present study investigates the relationship ...

An Interpretable Deep Learning Model for Detecting Tropical Cyclone Genesis Through Incorporation of the Dynamic and Thermodynamic Environment

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract In recent decades, tropical cyclone (TC) track forecasting has improved significantly. However, prediction of TC genesis (TCG) remains challenging. Accurate prediction of TCG is critical for disaster prevention and mitigation. This study develops an interpretable deep learning model that integrates 3D‐residual blocks with gated recurrent units
