Optimizing light spectra for soybean cultivation in controlled environments: Effects on plant growth, flowering, seed production, and seed quality

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 3, November 2026.
Cultivating soybean in a controlled environment enables precise control of growth conditions to accelerate breeding and enhance desirable traits. This study tested four LED spectra on two soybean varieties (CZ 75 70LL and S16‐14801C). The 40B:40R:20FR spectrum increased seed number by over 10% and seed weight by 20%, while both 50B:50R and 40B:40R:20FR

Ants contribute to raspberry pollination in protected cropping systems

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 648-657, November 2026.
Ants visited raspberry flowers more frequently than European honey bees (Apis mellifera), Australian stingless bees (Tetragonula carbonaria) and flies, many transporting raspberry pollen on their bodies, indicating potential pollination capacity. Ants were active flower visitors at most times of the day and may extend the daily pollination window and ...

Colony‐level pollen collection reflects visitation of managed bumble bees (Bombus impatiens) in strawberry fields and surrounding landscapes without reducing pollen limitation

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 636-647, November 2026.
We extracted pollen from colony beeswax to quantify season‐long, colony‐level resource use and tested how managed Bombus impatiens visitation and Rosaceae pollen collection relate to landscape context and strawberry pollination. Increased managed bumble bee visitation was not influenced by surrounding landcover, did not reduce pollen limitation and ...

Auxin‐related regulation of barley floral organ fate: genetic and phenotypic insights from tweaky spike mutants

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 3, Page 1166-1180, November 2026.
Inflorescence/floret phenotypes of tweaky spike (tw) barley (Hordeum vulgare) mutants and their respective WT backgrounds. Summary Mutant‐based research is a cornerstone for elucidating gene function in barley (Hordeum vulgare) and other cereals. In this study, we exploited a unique collection of barley tweaky spike (tw) mutants to identify the locus ...

Characteristics of Immersion Freezing Ice Nucleating Particles During Dust Season in Beijing

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric dust is a primary source of ice nucleating particles (INPs), yet their concentrations at temperatures warmer than −20°C are not fully characterized during Asian dust events. This study uses a membrane filtering method to collect aerosol samples and a droplet freezing method to measure daily immersion‐mode INP concentrations in ...

Micro/Nanoscale Acoustic Manipulation: From Particle Control to Autonomous Microswimmers

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 55, 5 October 2026.
This conceptual framework illustrates acoustic technology as a multifunctional platform enabling passive particle manipulation across scales and autonomous propulsion of microswimmers. ABSTRACT Acoustic manipulation and propulsion technologies have emerged as powerful platforms for micro/nanoscale control, enabled by their non‐contact operation, label ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals key floral resources for native pollinators in post‐fire landscapes

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 7, October 2026.
Abstract Wildfires are a natural disturbance in dry ponderosa pine forest ecosystems, and are increasing in frequency and severity across western North America. The effects of wildfire on biotic and abiotic conditions have important implications for higher trophic levels, including native bees. We sought to quantify the responses of flowering plants to
