Incorporation of Natural Antimicrobial Agents Into Thermoplastic Polymers for Food Applications: Strategies, Efficacy, Challenges and Future Directions

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract summarizes the main strategies for incorporating natural antimicrobial agents into thermoplastic food packaging polymers, including melt processing, surface deposition, controlled release and chemical immobilization. It highlights the major classes of natural antimicrobials, key advantages such as microbial growth reduction and ...

Association Between the Root Canal Microbiome and Apical Lesion Size: An Observational Shotgun Metagenomic Study

open access: yesInternational Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The aim was to characterize the taxonomic and functional composition of the microbiome involved in primary endodontic infections and to evaluate their association with the periapical lesion size using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. Methodology Samples from primary root canal infections diagnosed with apical periodontitis were analysed ...

Metabolic Rewiring of the Shikimate Pathway Enables Rose‐Scented Rice

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice fragrance is a key determinant of grain quality, yet the aroma profile of cultivated rice is highly uniform and largely dominated by the popcorn‐like compound 2‐acetyl‐1‐pyrroline. Here we expanded the aromatic repertoire of rice by engineering a rose‐like fragrance through reconstruction of the phenylalanine‐derived 2‐phenylethanol (2‐PE)

Assessment of Allergenic Potential for Cross‐Reactivity of Olive (Olea europaea) Pit Xylo‐Oligosaccharide‐Rich Extract With Legislated Allergens in the European Union

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Spray‐dried xylo‐oligosaccharide‐rich extract derived from olive pit endocarps was assessed for potential cross‐reactivity using in vitro ELISA and in silico approaches. The ELISA tests indicated potential cross‐reactivities with nuts (hazelnut, almond, pistachio, peanut), gluten, and milk in certain batches.

Food availability impacts oxygen isotope composition in freshwater snail shells

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Freshwater mollusk shells serve as valuable archives for the reconstruction of past environmental conditions as they record water temperatures in their stable isotopic compositions during biomineralization. Yet, the impact of food availability on these isotopic records has never been fully explored.

Natural Rubber Biosynthesis and Physic-Chemical Studies on Plant Derived Latex

open access: yes, 2011
1.1 Natural rubber is an indispensable biopolymer Natural rubber is a biopolymer of high economic importance with incomparable performance properties such as high elasticity, resilience and efficient heat dispersion (van Beilen and Poirier, 2007a). This high molecular mass polymer is formed from isopentenyl diphosphate units (IPP) which are linked in ...

Physiological and Behavioural Characterisation of a Novel Steroid Sulfatase‐Deficient Mouse

open access: yesGenes, Brain and Behavior, Volume 25, Issue 4, August 2026.
STS‐deficient mice are grossly healthy and breed as expected, but are mildly hyperactive and have heavier hearts compared with sex‐matched wildtype controls. ABSTRACT Steroid sulfatase (STS) cleaves sulphate groups from steroid hormones. In humans, STS deficiency is associated with X‐linked ichthyosis, an increased predisposition to neurodevelopmental ...

Unusual subunits are directly involved in binding substrates for natural rubber biosynthesis in multiple plant species

open access: yesPhytochemistry, 2018
Rubber particles from rubber-producing plant species have many different species-specific proteins bound to their external monolayer biomembranes. To date, identification of those proteins directly involved in enzymatic catalysis of rubber polymerization has not been fully accomplished using solubilization, purification or reconstitution approaches.

Genetics of Flooding Tolerance in an F2 Miscanthus sacchariflorus ssp. lutarioriparius × M. sinensis Population

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
An experiment to map flooding tolerance in Miscanthus ×giganteus was conducted. Two phenotyping protocols (A and B) and different pipelines to call SNPs were used. TASSEL‐GBSv2 resulted in a genetic map with smaller QTL intervals than the other maps.
