Rhizosphere Engineering by Root Exudates: High‐Yielding Alfalfa Recruits Functional PGPR to Sustain Soil Nutrient Availability Under Long‐Term Cultivation

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8763-8778, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil nutrient transformation capacity is a critical determinant of sustainable productivity in perennial cropping systems; however, the extent to which high‐yielding crops actively regulate rhizosphere microbial assembly to maintain nutrient availability remains poorly understood.

Tripartite Interaction Between Penicillium pinophilum‐Host Plants and CMV‐Y: A Model for Endophyte‐Mediated Viral Biocontrol

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8521-8539, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant‐fungus‐virus tripartite interactions represent complex ecological systems in which mutualistic endophytes can influence host physiology, yet the molecular basis of endophyte‐mediated defence remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the endophytic fungus Penicillium pinophilum EU0013 suppresses the yellow strain of cucumber ...

Effects of Atmospheric CO2 Levels on the Susceptibility of Maize to Diverse Pathogens

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8828-8850, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Rising atmospheric CO2 has significant implications for crop productivity and food security. Based on studies in C3 plants, elevated CO2 (eCO2) can shape plant‐pathogen interactions, although the outcomes are often variable. The question of how eCO2 influences immunity and disease development in C4 plants, such as the globally important cereal

Structuring Potential of Brown Rice Protein for Meat Analogue

open access: yesApplied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
Brown rice protein (BRP) can contribute to meat analogue structuring when combined with soy protein. Although BRP alone produced dry, crumbly, non‐fibrous structures, incorporating 4–9 wt% BRP into soy protein blends generated products with fibrous layers and diverse textures, demonstrating its potential as an alternative plant‐protein ingredient ...

Impact of Particle Size on Flour Physicochemical Properties and Cookies Sensory Acceptability Made From Teff (Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter)

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study investigated the effects of teff flour varieties and particle sizes on flour physicochemical properties and cookie sensory acceptability. Different teff varieties (Jitu, Bora, and Filagot) undergo milling and sieving processes to separate the flour into three distinct particle size categories: P1 = 260–360 μm, P2 = 160–260 μm, P3 = 90–160 μm.

Loss of zinc from zinc‐biofortified rice and conventional rice varieties due to various cooking techniques practiced in rural Bangladesh

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 13, Page 8202-8209, October 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Zinc‐biofortified rice has the potential to provide a sustainable solution for zinc deficiency, particularly in Asian countries where rice is the primary staple food. However, cooking of raw rice is associated with some loss of micronutrients, including zinc.

Multitechnique Physicochemical Characterization of Horse Hoof Trimmings as Sustainable and Untapped Keratin Source

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2026.
Horse hoof trimmings, cruelty‐free and traceable keratin‐rich waste, were characterized for particle size, morphology, thermal stability, composition and metal contamination. Results show a high higher‐heating value and promising upcycling paths for energy and materials, but variable metal contamination (shoeing‐ and milling‐dependent) requires ...

Nanopriming and Nanocoating as a Next‐Generation Seed Treatment for Enhanced Plant Growth and Pathogen Resistance

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT In pursuit of sustainable agriculture, current strategies continue to explore environmentally friendly inputs that promote plant development. Seed treatment is an ancient practice used to break seed dormancy and hasten germination. Although traditional seed treatments yield positive outcomes, the methods adopted raise concerns about the ...

Engineering Phosphorus‐Modified Flame‐Retardant Thermoplastic Polyurethane via Reactive Melt Processing

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, Volume 64, Issue 19, Page 4131-4156, 1 October 2026.
Phosphorus‐modified TPUs are prepared by one‐step, solvent‐free reactive melt processing using phosphate‐ or phosphonate‐containing diols and PEG or PPG soft segments. Fire behavior and mechanical response depend strongly on both chemistries. Peak heat release rate decreases by up to 54%, but reduced tensile strength and V‐2 dripping behavior reveal a ...

Sustainable Utilization and Fire Protection of Wood‐Based Composites in Buildings: Innovations, Challenges, and Future Directions

open access: yesSustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 8076-8096, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing use of wood and wood‐based composites in construction reflects a global shift toward renewable materials that support sustainable development objectives, including carbon reduction and responsible resource use. While wood offers substantial environmental benefits compared to conventional materials such as concrete and steel, its
