Synthesis and Characterization of an Azido Nitrofurazanyl Ether: An Energy‐Rich Heterocyclic Plasticizer With a Low Glass Transition Temperature

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We report on the synthesis and characterization of 3‐(2‐(2‐azidoethoxy)ethoxy)‐4‐nitro‐1,2,5‐oxadiazole (NFPEG2N3), which is a liquid nitrofurazanyl ether that was designed to be an energy‐rich plasticizer for glycidyl azide polymer (GAP)‐ and nitrocellulose (NC)‐based formulations.

Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

A Technology‐First Framework for SDG Implementation in Carbon‐Based Economies: Empirical Evidence and Policy Implications

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Only 17% of Sustainable Development Goal indicators are globally on track, yet the structural conditions explaining this failure remain inadequately theorised for fossil‐fuel‐dependent economies. This study develops and empirically tests a four‐layer loop framework of Technology, Well‐being, Social Equity, and Sustainability closing through ...

Venture Capital Practices in Saudi Arabia: The Views of Investors

Thunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how venture capital (VC) investors in Saudi Arabia evaluate, negotiate, and support entrepreneurial ventures in a rapidly developing yet institutionally young setting. Drawing on 21 semi‐structured interviews with 24 investors, it offers rare insight into VC practices in the Middle East.

rDNAmine: A New Tool for the Analysis of Long Repetitive Sequences

Yeast, EarlyView.
This work introduces a novel approach for analysing long repetitive genomic sequences, combining a method to isolate large DNA molecules from individual chromosomes. We also describe the bioinformatics tool rDNAmine, which enables the isolation of long‐repeat sequences from reads obtained using the Oxford Nanopore method, as well as their preliminary ...

Comparative Analysis of Stress Adaptation in the Yeast Microbiome of Cactus

Yeast, EarlyView.
Yeasts and related fungi isolated from cacti or nearby non‐cactus plants were characterized phenotypically and genomically, revealing differences that hint at modes of adaptation to the cactus host. ABSTRACT Together with other fungi, yeasts make up a significant component of the plant microbiome. As the planet warms, cacti expand their range.

Genome-Wide Association and Transcriptome Analyses Identify OsCBP606 as a Calmodulin-Mediated Susceptibility Gene to Magnaporthe oryzae in Rice

Rice
Rice blast, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most devastating diseases that affects rice production globally. Identifying new QTLs or R genes for blast resistance is crucial for developing rice varieties with enhanced resistance. In
