Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 1121-1144, August 2026.
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Observing the invisible: X‐ray CT for plant–microbe interactions

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 959-966, August 2026.
Utility of X‐ray computed tomography (X‐ray CT) for visualising belowground plant interactions between multiple spatial scales and focal planes. Summary Plant–microbe interactions are inherently spatial, yet the physical structure of the soil and rhizosphere is rarely treated as a mechanistic variable in experimental design.

Functional Mapping of Neurodevelopmental Disease Pathways to Key Neurodevelopmental Processes Represented in the Developmental Neurotoxicity In Vitro Testing Battery

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
Human‐relevant methods are essential for modern chemical safety assessment. This study helps define the capabilities and boundaries of an in vitro testing battery for developmental neurotoxicity by exploring its biological applicability domain. By linking neurodevelopmental disease‐related pathways to key neurodevelopmental processes, the work enhances

Understanding of Molecular Mechanisms and Breeding Strategies for Enhancing Oleic Acid Biosynthesis in Oil Crops

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Oleic acid (C18:1), a monounsaturated fatty acid, is a key determinant of nutritional value and oxidative stability of vegetable oils. Increasing its concentration has therefore become a central objective in oilseed crop improvement. This review summarizes current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms and breeding strategies underlying oleic ...

Nutritional and Performance Effects of Partial Replacement of Maize With Cassava Root (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Meal in Broiler Diets

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Partial replacement of maize with cassava root meal (CRM) improved growth performance, carcass traits, antioxidant activity, meat quality, and sensory acceptability in broiler chickens. Among all treatments, 10% CRM supplementation showed optimal feed efficiency, water‐holding capacity, and antioxidant status without adverse health effects, indicating ...

Annealing‐Induced Modifications in Yam Starches: Implications for Fermented Yam Flour (Elubo) and Textural Quality of Named Indigenous Yam Food Product—Amala

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Processing yam tubers into elubo (fermented yam flour) induces starch annealing, which modifies starch functionality and pasting behavior. These changes significantly influence the textural quality of amala prepared from 55 varieties of two Dioscorea species (D. alata and D. rotundata).
