Fully Organic Agroforestry Practices in Rice Cultivation: Effects on Soil Bacterial Microbiota, Soil Health and Grain Quality

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Sustainable practices are increasingly recognised for benefiting soil biodiversity, health, and overall grain quality. This study examined a unique rice agroecosystem adopting fully organic practices and agroforestry through a seasonal characterisation of soil bacterial microbiota and physicochemical parameters.

Genome association of carbohydrate metabolites provides new insights toward functional breeding in coffee

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Coffee is one of the world's most widely consumed beverages, derived mainly from Coffea arabica, known for its superior flavor, and Coffea canephora (Robusta/Conilon), valued for its resilience and higher caffeine content. Functional breeding aims to develop cultivars that combine productivity and stress tolerance with improved health‐related ...

Flatulence-causing galactooligosaccharides of Phaseolus coccineus L. and Phaseolus vulgaris L.

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
Phaseolus coccineus beans were assayed for the presence of raffinose and stachyose in whole seeds and in the morphological parts of the seed: cotyledon, hypocotyl and hull. The quantitative composition of the galactooligosaccharides of Ph.

Kinetic Properties of α
-Galactosidase and the Localization of Total Proteins in Erwinia chrysanthemi

Food Technology and Biotechnology, 2004
Erwinia chrysanthemi is an enterobacterium that causes soft-rot in plants in general, resulting in enormous economic losses annually. For the pathogen to survive in the host plant, it has to use the readily assimilable compounds from the host fluids and ...

Blm10/PA200‐Activated 20S Proteasomes Promote α‐Synuclein Degradation and Bypass Proteasome Inhibition in Parkinson's Disease Models

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study demonstrates that α‐synuclein expression stabilizes the proteasome activator Blm10, thereby linking α‐synuclein stress to changes in proteasome composition. Blm10/PA200‐capped 20S proteasomes efficiently degrade both monomeric and oligomeric α‐synuclein and remain resistant to α‐synuclein‐induced inhibition.

Raffinose Ameliorates DSS-Induced Colitis in Mice by Modulating Gut Microbiota and Targeting the Inflammatory TLR4–MyD88–NF-κB Signaling Pathway

Foods
This study aimed to explore the protective effects of raffinose (Raf) against inflammatory bowel disease in mice with colitis. Mice were administered 100, 200, or 400 mg/kg Raf for 21 d, followed by drinking-water containing 3% dextran sulfate sodium ...

The GmGT‐2F, a trihelix transcription factor, regulates seed oil content by directly activating GmAGAL transcription in soybean

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1794-1814, June 2026.
In soybean, the trihelix transcription factor GmGT‐2F positively regulates the expression of the α‐galactosidase gene GmAGAL, thereby modulating seed oil content. The cyclophilin GmCYP2 interacts with GmGT‐2F and suppresses GmAGAL activation. Haplotype diversity analysis of GmGT‐2F, GmCYP2, and GmAGAL identified favorable haplotype combinations ...

Dietary α-galactosidase and xylanase to improve the nutritional value of corn-soybean-rapeseed meal diets in broiler chickens

Journal of Applied Animal Research
Two experiments were performed to assess the effects of an enzyme preparation (containing α-galactosidase and xylanase) on chicken performance, carcass traits, footpad dermatitis score, and nutrient digestibility.

The HaMYB22–HaGST3.2 module mediates salt stress response in sunflower

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1709-1726, June 2026.
The transcription factors HaMYB22, HaMYB120, and HaMYB121 cooperatively activate the transcription of the glutathione S‐transferase gene HaGST3.2, thereby facilitating the removal of reactive oxygen species induced by salt stress in sunflowers and improving their salt tolerance.
