Systematic Identification of Native Bacillus spp. as a Sustainable Approach to Mitigate Cadmium in Cocoa

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
Native Bacillus spp. isolated from cocoa fermentations demonstrate cadmium resistance and removal capabilities. Through a multidisciplinary approach combining genomics, metagenomics, electron microscopy and functional assays, we identified promising strains for sustainable cadmium bioremediation, offering a natural strategy to improve cocoa safety and ...

Edible Seeds in the Fight Against Hypertension: A Review of In Vitro, In Vivo, and Clinical Evidences With a Mechanistic Insight of Bioactive Compounds

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
The presented review provides the potential antihypertensive benefits of traditionally employed edible seeds, presenting new perspectives and avenues for future research. ABSTRACT Hypertension, often referred to as a silent killer, is responsible for 7.5 million deaths, representing approximately 12.8% of all global mortality.

Perceptions and pathways: Linking biodiversity to health and well‐being in lower‐income contexts

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 238-255, January 2026.
Abstract The biodiversity loss and human health crises are deeply interconnected, but existing frameworks linking the two are largely derived from high‐income contexts, limiting their applicability to much of the world. While these frameworks have been valuable, this gap is especially critical in rapidly urbanising low‐ and middle‐income regions, where

Conserved spatial patterning of gene expression in independent lineages of C4 plants

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 24-38, January 2026.
Summary C4 photosynthesis enhances carbon fixation efficiency by reducing photorespiration through the use of an oxygen‐insensitive carboxylase and spatial separation of photosynthesis between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. The C4 pathway has evolved independently in > 60 plant lineages, but molecular mechanisms underpinning this convergence remain

Methodologies and Considerations in Evaluating Heat Stress Response and Thermotolerance of Pollen Grains

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Elevated temperatures severely disrupt pollen function, posing a major threat to agricultural productivity. While research into pollen thermotolerance is rapidly expanding, the quest to identify and develop heat‐tolerant crops is challenged by a lack of consistent methodological considerations and experimental design principles.

The Germination and Subsequent Development of Cocoa Seedlings (Theobroma cacao L.) Are Subject to Influence From the Pregerminative Methods Employed

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In Peru, cocoa production has increased significantly, thereby establishing a prominent position for this crop in the country’s agricultural landscape. The effect of different pregerminative methods on seed germination of cocoa ecotypes and their influence on seedling development in nursery were evaluated.
