Reconsidering how to dry orthodox seeds for improved ex situ conservation outcomes

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Ex situ seed conservation is an essential tool in our efforts to conserve wild and cultivated plant diversity, as mentioned in the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation and the Sustainable Development Goals. While there are established standards which seed banks follow, it is important that we continue to evaluate protocols and optimize processes ...

Improving Meat Analogues With Pea Proteins: A Comprehensive Review of Applications, Allergenicity, and Safety

Legume Science
With the growing global population and change in consumers' lifestyles, there is a pressing need for sustainable, safe, and nutritious sources of protein. Alternative proteins, like plant‐based meat supplemented with pea protein, offer a promising source;

From settler gardens to digital naturalists: human aesthetic preferences and land use changes facilitate the biogeographical expansion of a wild plant–virus interaction

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic facilitation of wild plants based on aesthetic preferences for particular traits can change the biogeography and ecology of natural communities. We use a mixed‐methods socioecological approach to characterize the ways in which humans interact with a common, widely distributed plant and a generalist viral symbiont that induces an ...

Responsible agrivoltaics in temperate Europe: Making systems work for plants, people, and climate

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Conceptual framework illustrating the three conditions for responsible AV in temperate regions: sustained plant productivity across rotations, preservation of soil and hydrological integrity, and social license for landscape integration. Multi‐site European evidence highlights how design choices shape trade‐offs among these dimensions.

RNA interference of the ecdysone receptor gene AgEcR in a wolfberry ‐ specialized strain of Aphis gossypii Glover affects its survival and fecundity and confers resistance in transgenic goji (Lycium barbarum L.)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
AgEcR, an ecdysone receptor from Aphis gossypii, is an RNA interference (RNAi) target. Artificial diet screening of five double ‐ stranded RNA fragments identified dsAgEcR2 targeting the D/E junction as the most potent. Transgenic goji expressing dsAgEcR2 caused molting defects and reduced fecundity, suppressing population growth and offering a ...

Plant‐Derived Bioactives and PPAR Signaling in Functional Dyspepsia: Mechanistic Insights and Therapeutic Perspectives

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Functional dyspepsia involves duodenal barrier dysfunction, low‐grade immune activation and altered neuroimmune signalling. Various plant‐derived bioactives may modulate PPAR signalling, reduce inflammatory and oxidative stress, and support epithelial, immune, metabolic, and sensory homeostasis.

Toll‐Like Receptor 4 Signaling in Natural N‐Acylethanolamines and Derivative NAE‐Like Compounds: Mechanisms and Implications for Neuroimmune and Inflammatory Processes in a Systematic Search Approach

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT N‐acylethanolamines (NAEs) are endogenous fatty acid amides structurally related to the endocannabinoid anandamide and function as bioactive lipid mediators with broad regulatory roles in inflammation and neuroinflammation. Among pattern‐recognition receptors, Toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) occupies a central position in innate immune ...

Addressing Water Scarcity in Agriculture: A Bibliometric Analysis of Hydrogel‐Based Strategies for Drought Resilience and Sustainable Water Management

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought poses a significant threat to agricultural systems worldwide, exacerbating challenges to food security and sustainability. Hydrogels, superabsorbent polymers that can retain substantial amounts of water, have emerged as a promising solution to mitigate the adverse effects of drought. In this integrated bibliometric and narrative review,

Adhesive Protein Nanoparticles Control Emulsion Properties via Tunable Interdroplet Linking

Small, EarlyView.
In this study, pea protein nanoparticles were probed for their ability to link emulsion droplets. Experiments across multiple length scales showed that the nanoparticles form shear‐resistant links via bridging interactions from the thin film between droplets.
