Early evolutionary history of the seed
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.Diabetes mellitus causes significant damage to the male reproductive system. Sirt1/Nrf2/HO‐1 signaling pathway acts as a line of defense against ROS in reproductive organs. In STZ‐induced diabetic rats, the proapoptotic Bax protein expression was found to be elevated, whereas the antiapoptotic Bcl‐2 protein expression was reduced.
