Development of user‐selectable diverse sets of cultivated and wild soybean germplasm for genetic and breeding applications

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract After decades of intensive breeding, modern US soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] varieties have achieved significant improvements in yield, quality, and stress tolerance, but these gains have come at the cost of severely reduced genetic diversity.

Stage‐specific biological nitrogen fixation depends on distinct carbon and nitrogen availability in long‐term fertilized paddy fields

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 692-705, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Industrial Haber–Bosch provides 32 Tg nitrogen (N) per year to global croplands. Such large amounts of N fertilization will reshape soil N cycles. One uncertainty is whether and how these long‐term N inputs impact soil biological N2 fixation (BNF) associated with plant ...

The Prebiotic and Techno‐Functional Potential of Microbial Exopolysaccharides for Human Health and Food Systems

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) represent a diverse class of biopolymers holding considerable promise as functional food ingredients. This review analyzes the dual function of microbial EPS as a candidate for prebiotic agents and techno‐functional additives.

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infant Mortality in Sri Lanka: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 446-455, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Sepsis is a major cause of mortality among children, with the highest burden evident in neonates and young infants, particularly, in resource‐constrained healthcare settings. Despite this burden, there are insufficient published data to delineate the epidemiology of neonatal sepsis from many of these settings.

Causes and consequences of bacterial local adaptation via MGEs in the plant microbiome

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2215-2223, March 2026.
Summary Adaptations that enable plant‐associated bacteria to fill disparate niches comprise a critical component of microbial diversity. Genes that confer locally adaptive bacterial traits, ranging from heavy metal resistance to pathogen or symbiont infectivity, often reside within mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that can move between genomes.
