Advancing Thermotolerance in Beans: Integrating Physiology, Genomics, and Breeding for Climate Adaptation

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rising global temperatures increasingly threaten bean production and the food security of millions of people who depend on these protein‐rich legumes. Heat stress during the reproductive stages induces pollen sterility, flower abscission, and disruptions in source–sink relationships, resulting in yield losses of 30%–40% or more when critical ...

Single‐Shot 2D Radial Echo Planar Imaging for Functional MRI

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 3, Page 1245-1260, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop a novel single‐shot radial echo planar imaging (ss‐rEPI) technique for rapid, distortion‐free brain imaging in functional MRI experiments. Methods Radial multi‐gradient echo (radial mGRE) data were acquired on a 3T clinical scanner using a 2D ss‐rEPI readout with small golden‐angle rotations between echoes.

Ultra‐Thin Bipoly Solar Cells With Front Selective n‐Type TOPCon and Rear Blanket p‐Type TOPCon Layers

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 34, Issue 9, Page 1113-1124, September 2026.
Large area crystalline silicon solar cells fabricated on ultra‐thin (80 μm) Si wafer featuring polysilicon‐based passivating contacts on both sides can further increase the energy output per unit weight. In this work, the large area, screen‐printed solar cells with high temperature fire‐through contacts, yielded an exceptional efficiency‐to‐thickness ...

Squash silverleaf disorder and whitefly (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1) infestation: Implications for plant disease management in a changing climate

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 2, September 2026.
Squash Silverleaf Disorder (SLD) is growing in its economic impact due to the invasive behaviour of the silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1). In this review we summarize what is currently known about the whitefly‐squash interaction, how both the disease and the whitefly are being affected by climate change, and discuss current and novel ...
