Bottom–up and top–down drivers influence urbanization effects on insect herbivory in oaks

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Urban forests provide essential ecosystem services, including pest control, biodiversity conservation, and human health benefits. Herbivory is a widespread biotic interaction that shapes ecosystem functions, such as primary productivity and soil fertility, which underpin these services.

HvTT8 Regulates Proanthocyanidin Accumulation in the Barley Testa Layer by Transcriptionally Activating the Flavonoid Biosynthesis Pathway

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Barley accumulates proanthocyanidins (PA), a type of flavonoid compound, in the testa layer. The accumulated PA have a detrimental effect on the quality of beer and pearled barley. Therefore, controlling PA accumulation in the testa layer is an important breeding objective in barley. PA accumulation is regulated by a ternary complex consisting

Designing Protein Gels for Nutrient Delivery: From Formulation to Digestion

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Protein gels have diverse applications in food industry, with plant proteins as potential alternatives to animal‐derived products. The applications of protein gels mainly depend on gel properties while gel digestibility affects the delivery and release of nutrients. However, the relationship and synergistic influences among gelation mechanism,

A Comparative Study of Cast‐Tape, Freeze, and Oven Drying on the Physicochemical and Bioactive Properties of Red Cabbage Microgreen (Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. rubra) Foam Powders

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The aim was to produce red cabbage microgreen foams and dry them by cast‐tape drying (CTD), freeze‐drying (FD), and oven drying (OD) to obtain powder and characterize them. The foam composition was water (74.7%), microgreens (14.2%), emulsifier (6.5%), pre‐gelatinized starch (2.8%), and maltodextrin (1.8%).

Mitophagy and Bip–PERK–eIF2α–ATF4 Axis‐Mediated ER Stress Mediate Miriplatin‐Loaded Liposome's Anti‐Colorectal Cancer Action

Cell Proliferation, Volume 59, Issue 3, March 2026.
LMPt enters the cell mainly through caveolin‐mediated endocytosis, and then fuses with endosomes and lysosomes to deliver MPt to mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum to induce mitophagy based on the fusion of lysosomes and mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum stress and subsequent apoptosis via the Bip–PERK–eIF2α–ATF4 axis to exert an anti ...

Thermosensitive Porcine Myocardial Extracellular Matrix Hydrogel Coupled with Proanthocyanidins for Cardiac Tissue Engineering

Gels
Currently, there are no therapies that prevent the negative myocardial remodeling process that occurs after a heart attack. Injectable hydrogels are a treatment option because they may replace the damaged extracellular matrix and, in addition, can be ...

The Rhus chinensis Genome Provides Insights Into Tannin, Flavonoid Biosynthesis, and Glandular Trichome Development

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 988-1013, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The “salt tree”, Rhus chinensis, holds significant economic and medicinal value due to its ability to produce Galla chinensis (Chinese gall/gallnut), a plant‐derived medicinal material used in both traditional Chinese and modern medicine that is rich in tannins and flavonoids. It is also renowned for its remarkable stress tolerance.

GmMYB4 Positively Regulates Isoflavone Biosynthesis via the GmMAPK6‐GmMYB4‐MBW Module in Soybean

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1482-1499, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Isoflavones, a class of bioactive compounds predominantly found in leguminous plants, are largely responsible for their beneficial effects on human health. Although MYB transcription factors (TFs) are known to be crucial regulators of isoflavone biosynthesis in soybean, the precise mechanisms underlying their regulatory functions remain poorly
