Revealing the dark biodiversity around us through a national school‐based citizen science project
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract School‐based citizen science holds great potential for expanding biodiversity knowledge while engaging young people in authentic scientific practices. This is particularly important for revealing ‘dark biodiversity’, defined as the vast yet often overlooked biodiversity that remains hidden due to its small size or cryptic nature, including ...

Innovations in polysaccharide‐based hydrogels in sustainable agriculture
Polymer International, EarlyView.Polysaccharide‐based hydrogels are promising in sustainable agriculture, as these natural polymers have the ability to absorb water and nutrients and release them gradually in the soil, in addition to ensuring biodegradability and lower cost. However, some challenges still need to be overcome.

Aspartic Protease Inhibition Induces Proteomic Remodeling in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a major systemic mycosis in Latin America caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, yet the contribution of aspartic proteases to fungal physiology and pathogenicity remains poorly understood. Here, we employed data‐independent acquisition (DIA)‐based quantitative proteomics to investigate the impact of pepstatin

Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can

Capsicum chinense as an African traditional vegetable: Culture, resilience, and opportunity
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Capsicum chinense is central to everyday diets, cultural identity, and smallholder livelihoods across Sub‐Saharan Africa, yet remains overlooked in agricultural research and policy. This paper reframes C. chinense as a traditional, climate‐resilient vegetable shaped by centuries of farmer stewardship and cultural selection.

Rethinking intensification: Biodiversity‐inclusive management sustains coconut yields
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Coconut palm expansion in West Africa will shape rural livelihoods and ecosystems. Our findings show that intensive practices reduce beneficial soil fungi and increase pathogens, threatening long‐term productivity. Lower‐intensity management that retains ground vegetation can sustain or boost yields while improving soil health.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Sorghum bicolor is a globally important cereal crop with annual yields exceeding 50 million tons across more than 100 countries and can be grown on marginal lands where conventional agriculture is limited. We examined how eight genetically diverse sorghum genotypes shaped arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community assembly across two contrasting ...
