Engineering compact Physalis peruviana (goldenberry) to promote its potential as a global crop

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1550-1556, September 2026.
Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) produces sweet, nutritionally rich berries, yet like many minor crops, is cultivated in limited geographical regions and has not been a focus of breeding programs for trait enhancement. Leveraging knowledge of plant architecture‐related traits from related species, we used CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated gene editing to generate a

Epistemic diversity and the politics of knowledge in plant disease management: Insights from the Xylella fastidiosa epidemic in southern Italy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1872-1889, September 2026.
Xylella fastidiosa is a major plant pathogen affecting crops such as grapes, citrus, almonds, and olives, with potentially severe consequences for agricultural production and rural livelihoods worldwide. This paper examines the conflict around the management of the X. fastidiosa outbreak affecting olive trees in southern Italy.

Horizontal Gene Transfer and Genome Rearrangements Shape Bacterial Adaptation for Bioremediation

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
Exposure to xenobiotics triggers genome evolution and horizontal gene transfer (HGT), driving the acquisition of novel catabolic functions. These genomic adaptations provide a competitive fitness advantage that reshapes microbial community structure and enhances biodegradation impact.

Land Reforms in Cuba: First Empirical Assessment on Productivity Using Crop‐Level Panel Data

Economics of Transition and Institutional Change, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 573-585, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Land reforms implemented in Cuba since 2008 have aimed to increase agricultural production by distributing state‐owned idle lands with land‐use rights. The reforms restricted farmers with the rights from cultivating perennial and capital‐intensive crops.

A Polyherbal Mixture with Nutraceutical Properties for Ruminants: A Meta-Analysis and Review of BioCholine Powder

Animals
BioCholine Powder is a polyherbal feed additive composed of Achyrantes aspera, Trachyspermum ammi, Azadirachta indica, and Citrullus colocynthis. The objective of this study was to analyze published results that support the hypothesis that the polyherbal

Soil Microbial Diversity and Network Organization Respond to Land Use and Agricultural Inputs Worldwide

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Based on a global analysis of 1921 soil samples, we show that agricultural management acts as a powerful ecological filter reshaping microbial communities. Land use and inputs—pesticides and fertilizers—drive a functional shift toward opportunistic pathogens and fragmented, less connected microbial networks, potentially compromising soil ecosystem ...

Genetic progress in yield, biomass, and trait trade-offs in Chilean durum wheat before and after the Green Revolution under Mediterranean irrigated conditions

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Grain yield in wheat depends on both aboveground biomass production and harvest index (HI). As HI approaches its theoretical limit, future yield improvement is expected to rely increasingly on enhancing biomass production while maintaining efficient ...

Participatory fuzzy cognitive modelling reveals leverage points for agroecological adoption in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1817-1831, June 2026.
Abstract Global institutions are increasingly calling for an agroecological transition of our food systems to promote sustainable farmer livelihoods, safeguard agrobiodiversity and foster socio‐ecological resilience to a changing climate. Yet adoption remains limited, and there is a paucity of research examining how local conditions enable and ...
