Alternative approaches to dryland reclamation enhance vegetation cover and soil stability at a former uranium mine

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Conventional reclamation methods to recover dryland ecosystems after mineral extraction often have low success. Alternative reclamation techniques may help overcome the many challenges to establishing persistent native vegetation and stable soils.

Root trait dynamics of historical canola varieties under low and high nitrogen supply

open access: yesThe Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Nitrogen fertilizer is a major input cost in crop production, making it crucial to enhance nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) to reduce fertilizer dependence without compromising yields. Root system architecture (RSA) is a key determinant of nutrient acquisition, particularly under nutrient‐limited conditions.

Identifying the Quantitative Trait Locus and Candidate Genes of Traits Related to Milling Quality in Rice via a Genome-Wide Association Study

open access: yesPlants
Milling quality directly affects production efficiency in rice, which is closely related to the brown rice recovery (BRR), the milled rice recovery (MRR) and the head milled rice recovery (HMRR).

Overexpression of OsbHLH107, a member of the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor family, enhances grain size in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

open access: yesRice, 2018
Background Grain size, which is determined by grain length, grain width, and grain thickness, is an important determinant for grain yield in rice. Identification and characterization of new genes that are associated with grain size will be helpful for ...

SMART: Speedy Measurement of Arabidopsis Rosette Traits

open access: yesThe Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Most computer vision‐ and machine learning‐based plant phenotyping systems compute traits such as shape and size rather than the color distribution of the plant surface, even though color can provide important insights into plant physiology. Therefore, we developed Speedy Measurement of Arabidopsis Rosette Traits (SMART), an open‐source plant ...

Comparing Drone and Vessel‐Based Imaging to Quantify Epibiont Coverage on Humpback Whales

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cetacean epibionts offer noninvasive insights into host health, physiology, and spatial ecology, yet quantitative assessments in wild populations remain scarce. Although vessel‐based observations may be limited by field of view and analyst input, unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs; drones) are increasingly used to monitor cetacean health indices,

Effect of Dietary Sugarcane Bagasse on Reproductive Performance, Constipation, and Gut Microbiota of Gestational Sows

open access: yesAnimals
This experiment aimed to evaluate the effects of using sugarcane bagasse (SB) as a substitute for soybean hulls and wheat bran in the diet of pregnant sows on their reproductive performance and gut microbiota. A total of seventy-two primiparous sows were

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Therapeutic Potential of Chickpea‐Derived Bioactives: A Review With Perspective of Different In Vitro, Animal, and Human Studies

open access: yesLegume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important dietary legume worldwide and provides micronutrients and phytochemicals, including phenolics, flavonoids, carotenoids, bioactive peptides, dietary fiber, and resistant starch. This narrative review summarizes evidence from in vitro, animal, and human studies on the potential health relevance of ...
