Using Stochastic Simulations to Shed Light on How to Deploy Speed Breeding and Genomic Selection in Self‐Pollinated Recurrent Breeding Programs

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Speed breeding can shorten breeding cycles and, when combined with genomic selection, can accelerate genetic gain. Yet it remains unclear how different integration strategies affect long‐term response, genetic variance and cost‐efficiency in small public programs.

Macronutrient composition in pollen affects development and survival in wild bees

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Small carpenter bees (Ceratina calcarata) were reared on diets formulated with black poplar and dandelion pollen, while closely monitoring developmental metrics, lipid content and survival. Macronutrient analyses on both pollen types revealed dandelion pollen contained lower levels of protein, essential amino acids and several fatty acids, which ...

Biodiversity and its restoration in limestone quarries: a review

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Limestone quarries impact natural areas, and they are spreading in relation to human population growth. Little is known about the impact of limestone quarries and their restoration on biodiversity. Objectives This review aims to provide an overview of how biodiversity is assessed in limestone quarries, how it impacts biodiversity,

Earlier reproductive phenology of restored grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Plants introduced to degraded ecosystems during restoration efforts often face novel environmental conditions. Consequently, plant functional traits can differ between restored and reference sites, even within the same species. Studies on such intraspecific variation mainly focused on vegetative traits, while the timing of life ...

Seed pretreatment length when producing seeds for restoration may impact seed dormancy in offspring

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Seed dormancy regulates germination timing to improve seedling survival. Many temperate species produce physiologically dormant seeds, requiring winter conditions (i.e. moist‐cold stratification) to overcome dormancy. Exposing seeds to suboptimal stratification lengths for restoration may alter genetic diversity and/or ...

Limited contribution by non‐volant small mammals to regeneration in ironstone rocky outcrops

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Animal‐mediated seed dispersal contributes substantially to natural regeneration in degraded areas. However, the role of seed dispersal by non‐volant small mammals (NVSM), mainly marsupials and rodents, in contributing to regeneration remains underexplored, especially in mountaintop, open‐canopy ecosystems.

Current Knowledge on Phytoremediation Potential of Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for PFAS and Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT This review synthesizes current research on the phytoremediation potential of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for heavy metals, including arsenic, aluminium, mercury, copper, lead, cadmium, nickel, and zinc, as well as per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” A structured and transparent ...

Protective Effect of LGG From Lophatherum Gracile Brongn. on Alcohol‐Injured HepG2 Cells and Exploration of Potential Mechanism

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
LGG was separated from L. gracile and its hepatoprotective effect was investigated. LGG significantly reduced the mortality, ROS and MDA content in alcohol‐injured liver cells. LGG up‐regulated 156 mRNAs (63 miRNAs) and down‐regulated 1529 mRNAs (35 miRNAs).
