Heavy Metal Contamination: Impacts From Plants to the Food Chain and Eco‐Friendly Amelioration Strategies

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Heavy metal pollution reduces soil health and threatens food safety by entering plants; however, the use of nanoparticles, biofertilizers, and organic fertilizers such as biochar offers a promising strategy for improvement and sustainable agriculture. ABSTRACT Heavy metal (HM) pollution, resulting from human activities such as mining and the excessive ...

Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

Seasonal variation in wind speed and oceanic salt spray favors delayed reproduction in coastal yellow monkeyflowers

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The optimal timing of reproduction depends on the relative risk and benefit of continued growth. These risks and benefits depend on the local environment, which varies seasonally. While temperature and water availability are well‐studied selective agents on reproductive timing, less is known about other seasonally variable factors ...

Stabilization of PUFA‐Rich Mayonnaise Against Lipid Oxidation: A Review of the Last Three Decades of Research

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mayonnaise, a widely consumed oil‐in‐water emulsion, is highly susceptible to lipid oxidation due to its high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and the presence of pro‐oxidant factors such as low pH and iron from egg yolk. Over the past three decades, extensive research has focused on understanding oxidation mechanisms, analytical

Revisiting Securidaca longipedunculata Seed Oil: Applying NMR and Mass Spectroscopy to Confirm the Presence of 2‐Acetyl‐1,3‐Diacyl–sn‐Glycerols and Conjugated Hydroxydienoic Fatty Acids

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
The manuscript confirms and expands on previous reports concerning the presence of unusual conjugated hydroxydienoic fatty acids and acetyl‐TAG in the seed oil of Securidaca longipedunculata. The location of acetate only at sn‐2 of TAG was conclusively shown by high resolution NMR and hydroxy seed fatty acids are characterized.

Expanded application to plant reproductive tissues of a branched DNA probe‐based in situ hybridization method

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Detecting clear tissue‐ and organ‐specific patterns of gene expression is key to understanding the genetic mechanisms that control plant development. In situ hybridization (ISH) of mRNA is one of the most precise, yet most challenging approaches to gene expression assays.

Enabling the study of gene function in gymnosperms: Virus‐induced gene silencing in Ephedra tweedieana

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the

Pearl's causality for integrating ecological datasets: A case study on Myricaria germanica in northern Italy

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Applied ecology can significantly influence policy decisions on environmental issues. Therefore, research in this field should be as transparent and reproducible as possible. Existing expertise from a broad range of disciplines should also be integrated into ecological research to allow researchers to maximize understanding of complex ...

Real‐time monitoring of root dielectric properties for assessing crop plant damage caused by foliar application of glyphosate

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise There is a knowledge gap regarding how foliar injury and restricted water uptake can be detected by measuring root dielectric response. This pot study nondestructively evaluated the efficiency of real‐time dielectric measurement to monitor the effects of glyphosate spraying.

A Practical Gut‐On‐Chip Workflow for Imaging‐Based Assessment of Epithelial Barrier Dynamics During E. coli Co‐Culture

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intestinal epithelium and its resident microbiota form a dynamic interface that is central to gut homeostasis, but this interface is difficult to model with conventional tools. Static Transwell cultures lack physiological fluid shear, whereas animal models are costly and poorly suited to quantitative, high‐content imaging.
