A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

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

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
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

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
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

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
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

Hemp seed counting and morphometric analysis method comparison

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract The USDA ARS Hemp Germplasm Laboratory recently acquired over 800 hemp accessions (Cannabis sativa L.). Variation in hemp seed size characteristics is needed to develop quantitative standards to support the transition of hemp grain into a commodity.

Recent Zeolite Modifications in Bifunctional Catalysts for Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation to Aromatics: A Minireview†

Chinese Journal of Chemistry, Volume 44, Issue 17, Page 2933-2949, 1 September 2026.
Thermocatalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to aromatic hydrocarbons represents a sustainable route for high‐value CO2 utilization. Bifunctional catalysts combining metal/metal oxide components with acidic zeolites enable the direct synthesis of BTX aromatics.

Quality‐driven reformulation of Plantago ovata enriched non‐fermented beef salami

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 12, Page 7245-7256, September 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plantago ovata (psyllium) is a hydrocolloid additive that is used widely in foods; however, meat applications of this bioactive ingredient are limited. This study evaluated the effects of 0% to 5% Plantago husk on non‐fermented beef salami during 60 days of storage. Proximate composition, physicochemical properties, texture profile,

Bioconversion and characterization of watermelon rind waste‐based microcrystalline cellulose: A green alternative to synthetic reinforcements

Polymer International, Volume 75, Issue 9, Page 818-831, September 2026.
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was extracted from watermelon rind using acid hydrolysis. MCC can be efficiently used as reinforcement in biofilms and biocomposites. Abstract The increasing accumulation of agricultural waste from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) represents a substantial environmental concern, particularly in view of the extensive ...

Integrating habitat suitability, socioeconomics, and infrastructure to assess global biological invasion risk under climate change: A case study of the rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 9068-9086, September 2026.
We developed an invasion risk index framework that integrates socioeconomic and environmental data using an entropy‐weighting method. The case study highlights the need for region‐specific biosecurity measures for Chilo suppressalis. Abstract BACKGROUND Biological invasion risk is a multifaceted concept that, according to the Food and Agriculture ...
