Simultaneous Overexpression of FERULOYL‐CoA 6′‐HYDROXYLASE 1 and COUMARIN SYNTHASE Leads to Coumarin‐Enriched Lignin and Improved Saccharification in Greenhouse‐ and Field‐Grown Poplar

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The urgent need for renewable resources has increased the interest in woody biomass to manufacture bio‐based products. However, lignin recalcitrance limits the enzymatic conversion of wood into fermentable sugars, posing a major challenge for biomass deconstruction.

The Construction of Compliance with the European Union Deforestation Regulation in Global Coffee Value Chains

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The European Union's Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) obliges the importers and users of seven agricultural commodities to achieve supply chain traceability and prevent deforestation‐linked products from entering the EU market. This paper investigates how companies and producing countries in the coffee sector prepared for EUDR compliance by ...

A Journey Between Science and the Arts: Templates for the Depiction of the Pineapple (Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries)

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native to America, the pineapple—Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.—delighted the Europeans who came across it. The fruit was mentioned by the voyagers and missionaries who observed and tasted it in the Americas and, from the 1500s onwards, infused reports, chronicles and natural history treatises with colour and flavour.

A systematic color correction pipeline for controlled‐environment imaging

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
ABSTRACT We present a stepwise color correction (CC) pipeline for controlled imaging environments. The workflow integrates flat‐field correction (FFC), gamma correction, and white‐balance correction, followed by a color‐mapping (CM) stage using machine‐learning regression—linear, partial least squares, and neural networks (NNs)—to deliver reliable CC ...

A Spatial Clustering Approach of Economic Activities: An Application to the Agribusiness Sector in Brazil's Midwest Region

Geographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of economic activities is central to regional economics. However, empirical tools for comparing industries based on the similarity of their spatial distributions remain limited. Traditional cluster analysis typically ignores geographical distance and connectivity, while spatial methods focus on clustering places rather

Spouted bed drying parameters and adjuvant effects on polyphenol retention and antioxidant activity in mango peel powders

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 9, Page 4579-4596, September 2026.
Spouted bed drying of mango peels with colloidal SiO2 and corn starch produces a free‐flowing powder with reduced agglomeration, increased drying yield, and preserved antioxidant and polyphenol content. Abstract The production of polyphenol‐rich powders is a promising strategy for valorizing agro‐industrial byproducts. This study evaluated drying yield,

Impacted Bones: Can Extant Primates Help Identify Tool Use in Early Hominins?

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite recent advances pushing back the earliest record of tool use, how and when it first emerged in hominins, and the extent to which it featured amongst the numerous co‐existing species, remain critical questions in paleoanthropology. In addition to analyzing fossils and lithic toolkits, novel strides in understanding this might be made by

Resolving Taxonomic Boundaries in the New Zealand Senecio matatini Complex (Senecioneae, Asteraceae): Evidence from Genotyping by Sequencing of Limestone‐Associated Forms

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
The Senecio matatini complex in New Zealand has a convoluted taxonomic and nomenclatural history that has not been fully resolved. This is largely due to the incomplete sampling of morphologically diverse but highly threatened limestone populations in the eastern South Island in previous genetic studies.

Bioconversion and characterization of watermelon rind waste‐based microcrystalline cellulose: A green alternative to synthetic reinforcements

Polymer International, Volume 75, Issue 9, Page 818-831, September 2026.
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was extracted from watermelon rind using acid hydrolysis. MCC can be efficiently used as reinforcement in biofilms and biocomposites. Abstract The increasing accumulation of agricultural waste from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) represents a substantial environmental concern, particularly in view of the extensive ...
