Biomimetic Design of Biopolymer‐Based Water‐Resistant Food Packaging Materials

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT With the growing demand for sustainable and eco‐friendly food packaging, biopolymer‐based materials are emerging as promising candidates due to their recyclability, biodegradability, and food safety. However, in practical applications dealing with high moisture content or perishable foods, their lack of water resistance poses a significant ...

Effects of Long‐Term Straw Return on Physiological Traits and Grain Yield of Wheat Under Spring Low‐Temperature Stress

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Spring low‐temperature stress (SLTS) is an important constraint on winter wheat production under increasing climate variability, but whether long‐term straw return can maintain physiological stability under SLTS remains unclear. A long‐term field experiment was established in 2008 in the Huaihe River Basin of China.

Hidden Mould in the Air: A Practical Narrative Mini‐Review of Invasive Mould Infection Prevention for High‐Risk Patients and Clinicians

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Airborne mould spores, including those of the Aspergillus species, are ubiquitous both indoors and outdoors. While they are generally harmless, inhaled spores can cause severe infections, particularly invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, in patients with impaired immune defences.

Maize Straw Strip Mulching Mediated Transformation of Soil Organic Nitrogen Across Soil Depths in Wheat and Potato Cultivation

Agriculture
Soil nitrogen availability is a major constraint to crop productivity in rainfed arid and semi-arid regions. The influence of straw strip mulching on nitrogen availability and transformation across soil layers remains unclear. This study investigates the

Zero tillage with paddy straw mulching is a promising technique for enhancing the yield and quality of potatoes

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Continuous intensive tillage practice led to the deterioration of soil health and the environment. Considering the negative impact of conventional tillage (CT) practices on soil properties, a field experiment was conducted over two consecutive years 2021–
