A Roadmap for Breeding Sweet Tomatoes

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2026.
This graphical abstract outlines four breeding strategies for enhancing sugar content and sweetness in tomato fruits: (1) Identification of key genes and functional variant loci regulating fruit sugar accumulation through systematic germplasm collection, genome‐wide association studies (GWAS), map‐based cloning, and reverse genetics approaches.

Compost‐Based Organic Amendments and Synthetic Fertilisers Enhance Soil Health and Crop Yield Worldwide

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Fertiliser management is central to achieving sustainable increases in crop productivity while maintaining soil health. Yet, it remains unclear how chemical fertilisers, organic amendments (OAs), or their combination have comparable effects on soil health at a global scale.

Exploring the Antifungal Potential of the Brown Macroalga Hormophysa triquetra: Morphological Disruptions and Structural Changes in Plant Pathogens

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Extracts of Hormophysa triquetra showed antifungal activity with marked hyphal deformities in Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternata. Light microscopy and SEM confirmed structural alterations despite unchanged radial growth. Cucumber assays validated reduced disease incidence, linked to fatty‐acid–rich metabolites detected by GC–MS.

Bottom Grinding Increases the Phototrophic Bacteria While Reduces Bacterial Community Stability in Sea Cucumber Cultural Ponds

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Effects of bottom grinding (BG) on bacterial communities in sea cucumber ponds were investigated. BG enhanced Cyanobacteria but reduced Proteobacteria in water bacterial communities. A more complex but unstable bacterial community was observed in ponds after BG. BG improved the migration and stochastic assembly of bacterial communities. ABSTRACT Bottom

Can Artificial Intelligence Chatbots Plan Therapeutic Ketogenic Diets for Children With Epilepsy?

Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Volume 39, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Ketogenic Diet Therapy (KDT) is an effective but complex treatment for paediatric drug‐resistant epilepsy. Access to trained dietitians limits the global use of KDT. The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots for health and dietary advice presents both opportunities and risks.
