Traversing the effects of ploidy changes in different Eragrostis curvula genotypes through high‐throughput RNA sequencing

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Polyploidization has played a key role in plant genome evolution. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness, a perennial forage grass species of the Poaceae family, is an excellent model for investigating genome duplication due to its natural variation in ploidy levels.

A Review of the Unintended Consequences of Biochar in Various Applications

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
Biochar is widely promoted as a sustainable material for applications ranging from soil amendment to energy storage and construction materials. This review critically examines the often‐overlooked and unintended consequences of biochar, including variability in properties, safety risks, and performance limitations.

Early Paleogene climate at mid latitude in South America: mineralogical and paleobotanical proxies from continental sequences in Golfo San Jorge basin (Patagonia, Argentina) [PDF]

, 2009
The Paleocene-Eocene boundary was a period of transient and intense global warming that had a deep effect on middle and high latitude plant groups.

A framework linking silicon fertilisation, plant silicification and soil carbon cycling

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 861-870, May 2026.
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is vital for soil health, food security, and climate change mitigation. We reviewed how silicon (Si) fertilisers, commonly used to improve plant health, may also influence SOC dynamics. We developed a framework linking Si and SOC and discussed the possibility of Si‐mediated plant changes contributing to SOC sequestration.

Earliest tea as evidence for one branch of the Silk Road across the Tibetan Plateau. [PDF]

, 2016
Phytoliths and biomolecular components extracted from ancient plant remains from Chang'an (Xi'an, the city where the Silk Road begins) and Ngari (Ali) in western Tibet, China, show that the tea was grown 2100 years ago to cater for the drinking habits of

Drivers of insect herbivory resistance and tolerance to plant damage in the Brachypodium distachyon species complex

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Premise Insect herbivory is a major biotic factor shaping plant populations and driving the evolution of defensive traits. Polyploidy (whole‐genome duplication) often induces substantial phenotypic and genotypic changes that may affect species interactions, including herbivory.

Using Terrestrial Organic Matter to Reconstruct the Stable Carbon Isotope Composition of the Atmosphere

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Carbon fluxes to Earth's atmosphere are reflected in the carbon isotope composition of atmospheric CO2 (δ13Catm). δ13Catm is used to track past changes to the global carbon cycle and is a variable in many paleoclimate proxies. However, existing δ13Catm proxy records derived from marine carbonates are relatively low‐resolution prior to the ...

Feeding in Forest Chimpanzees: Do Food Type and Canopy Location Predict Positional Behavior?

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 189, Issue 2, February 2026.
Ngogo chimpanzees from Kibale National Park, Uganda use versatile postures, like suspension, more when eating leaves than other foods. However, in the terminal canopy, eating fruit is most associated with versatility. Food type and availability, in different combinations, produce similar behaviors.
