A framework linking silicon fertilisation, plant silicification and soil carbon cycling

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 861-870, May 2026.
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is vital for soil health, food security, and climate change mitigation. We reviewed how silicon (Si) fertilisers, commonly used to improve plant health, may also influence SOC dynamics. We developed a framework linking Si and SOC and discussed the possibility of Si‐mediated plant changes contributing to SOC sequestration.

Valorization of Garcinia humilis Residues in Active Collagen/Starch Films for Biodegradable Packaging Applications

Packaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 517-531, May 2026.
Residues from Garcinia humilis were used to obtain a phenolic‐rich extract (GHRE) and incorporated into collagen–starch films. The addition of GHRE improved antioxidant activity, thermal stability and elasticity, while reducing water vapour permeability.

Towards a More Employment-Intensive and Pro-Poor Economic Growth in Bolivia [PDF]

The reform program and growth pattern exhibited by the Bolivian economy in the last decade did not favour employment creation and consequently not an effective reduction of poverty.

Gap Analysis of Metabolic Conversions of Off‐Flavors and Antinutrients in Plant‐Based Substrates

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT To drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the food production chain, a major shift towards alternatives to conventional meat and dairy products is required. The use of plant‐based proteins is a promising route, but it also comes with challenges: Plant‐based proteins often contain antinutritional factors and off‐flavors, which can ...

Unlocking the Functional Properties of Plant Proteins in Designing Food Formulations for Senior Adults

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The aging population presents an increasing need for protein‐rich food that supports health, functionality, and quality of life in senior adults. Plant proteins, with their sustainability and nutritional potentials, are emerging as promising yet complex alternatives to animal proteins in this context.

Insights from controlled, comparative experiments highlight the limitations of using BSMV and FoMV for virus‐enabled reverse genetics in rice

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 745-754, May 2026.
Virus‐enabled reverse genetics (VERG) enables transient gene expression modulation in plants but its efficacy varies across species. We evaluated the efficacy of barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) and foxtail mosaic virus (FoMV) for virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) and virus‐mediated overexpression (VOX) in rice (Oryza sativa).

Eukaryovorous Predation in Evolutionarily Significant Excavate‐Like Flagellates

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Accumulating evidence suggests that the Last Eukaryotic Common Ancestor (LECA) resembled contemporary excavates, a non‐monophyletic group of deep branching flagellates. Here we explore the functional ecology of distantly related deep‐branching “excavate‐like” flagellates (in Alveolata and Provora) that share with many excavates a vane‐bearing ...
