Polymer Engineering &Science, Volume 66, Issue 11, Page 8051-8065, November 2026.Cellulose nanocrystals extracted from Mauritia flexuosa petiole were combined with MCM‐41 mesoporous silica to create a diclofenac‐loaded hybrid nanocomposite. Incorporation into electrospun PVA scaffolds enabled controlled diclofenac release and high cell viability, highlighting their potential for localized drug delivery.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2150-2163, November 2026.There is an increasing risk of drought and salinisation of soil and groundwater globally, including in Pacific Island countries such as Tonga. Irrigating crops with slightly saline water, such as that produced by emerging desalination technologies, could help to alleviate droughts.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2192-2204, November 2026.American ginseng is a shade‐obligate, North American medicinal plant that is widely traded and used internationally. To meet global demand, ginseng is cultivated in forest farms in the Appalachian region of the USA and field‐based artificial shade farms in two regions: Ontario, Canada and Wisconsin, USA. We conducted social research leveraging in‐depth

Bridging Human and Plant Adaptations for Climate Resilience
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2235-2245, November 2026.Climate change is transforming agriculture through both gradual shifts and increasingly unpredictable extremes, challenging farmers' ability to protect crops and livelihoods. This study brings together farmer experiences and plant adaptation strategies to explore how people and plants respond to similar climate pressures.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 11, Page 10637-10647, November 2026.SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, inhibited key metabolic pathways associated with pyrethroid insecticide resistance in cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB) and its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae. SYN‐A restored pyrethroid efficacy against resistant CSFB allowing up to 80% reduction in application rates.

Protocol for Obtaining Petiole Sap
Petiole sap nitrate concentration is a sensitive indicator of crop nitrogen status of various vegetable species. This makes it an interesting option for N management in vegetable production as it can enable rapid measurement and subsequent correction of deficient crop N status. The use of small rapid analysis systems enables on-farm measurement of sap

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 11, Page 10765-10775, November 2026.This study provides evidence that the timing of co‐inoculation of Leptosphaeria maculans and Leptosphaeria biglobosa determine the outcome of interspecific competition and disease development on their host oilseed rape. Abstract BACKGROUND Phoma stem canker is one of the most economically damaging diseases of oilseed rape, caused by co‐existing fungal ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 11, Page 10727-10738, November 2026.The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is a major pest of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus). We tested B. napus and Sinapis alba seedlings for feeding resistance and underlying chemical defenses. S. alba was least damaged, while metabolite profiles revealed resistance‐linked compounds, highlighting breeding potential for insect ...
