Multifactorial Role of Phytogenic CeO2 NPs in Crop Improvement and Stress Alleviation: A Mechanistic Overview

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates how CeO2 nanoparticles help plants withstand biotic and abiotic stresses. Their application reduces excessive ROS through enhanced antioxidant defenses, whereas modulating stress signaling, phytohormones, and gene expression.

Silicon shifts plant stoichiometry: A meta‐analysis

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 10, October 2026.
Si could regulate plant C and P stoichiometry with potential ecological implications. By mobilising P and improving NUE, Si may help mitigate nutrient constraints on biomass production and shape plant performance. Furthermore, reduced plant C:P ratios translate into P‐rich and high‐quality litter, which may in turn alter litter decomposition and soil ...

Quinoa Whole Plant: A Promising Nutrient-Rich Alternative Forage in the U.S. Midwest

Agronomy
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) is a nutrient-rich multipurpose crop. Its grains are used as a cereal, green leaves as a vegetable for humans, and the whole green plant as an alternate forage for livestock.

Plasma‐Activated Water Primes Black Rice Starch for Amplified Hydrothermal Modification: Structural Insights and Enhanced Digestibility

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the ability of plasma‐activated water (PAW) to modulate black rice starch response to autoclaving. Six formulations were prepared: native starch (Native), starch treated with PAW for 30 or 60 min (P30, P60), starch autoclaved only (AC), and starch subjected to PAW for 30 or 60 min prior to autoclaving (P30AC, P60AC).

Neighbour Effects and Dynamics of Plant‐Associated Microbiomes in a Strip‐Crop System

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Distinct plant species differentially affect the assembly of host‐associated microbial communities in a strip‐crop system. Crop neighbouring effects on the microbiomes were highest at the edge of the strips, which further reveals reduced leaf pathogens.

Did Eve Emerge From Evo's Rib? Gendered Complexities Over the Period of MAS Rule in Bolivia

Bulletin of Latin American Research, Volume 45, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The MAS governments in Bolivia (2006–2019) sought to overturn neoliberalism through a decolonial and post‐neoliberal political project informed by indigenous movements, feminist thought, and social movement participation. However, feminist activists and scholars soon argued that MAS discourse and policy increasingly essentialised gender and ...

From Reactive Remediation to Predictive Prevention: A Systems Synthesis of Global Soil Salinization and Sodicity

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
Salty soils are spreading across the world's farmland, often building up unnoticed for years before crop yields fall sharply and repair becomes slow and costly. Our review shows that this damage comes from linked problems in soil chemistry, water management, and policy, so fixing any one of them alone rarely works.

Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best‐supported model

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1763-1766, October 2026.
Anthocyanins and betalains are plant pigments produced through different biosynthetic pathways and are generally considered mutually exclusive. We examine claims of their co‐occurrence, arguing that methodological flaws and data misinterpretation have led to unsupported reports, and offer recommendations for more rigorous future research.

Quinoa as phytopharmaceutical? Urinary elimination of ecdysterone after consumption of quinoa alone and in combination with spinach. [PDF]

The phytosteroid ecdysterone is classified as an anabolic agent and has been included on the monitoring list of the World Anti-Doping Agency since 2020. Therefore, the consumption of food rich in ecdysterone, such as quinoa and spinach, is the focus of a
