Biodegradable Polymers for Plant Nutrient Delivery and Recovery

open access: yesMacromolecular Bioscience, EarlyView.
This review article discusses the use of biodegradable polymers to address several grand challenges in agriculture: to improve the delivery of nitrogen and phosphorous to crops, to optimize plant uptake, and to enhance the recovery of these nutrients from wastewater, to recycle them and reduce water pollution. Abstract The current use of fertilizers is

Tomato Puree Enrichment in a High‐Fat Meal Reduces Postprandial Plasma and Adipose Tissue Inflammation Biomarkers in Healthy Male Adults: A Crossover Randomized Controlled Trial

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
Tomato puree enrichment in the context of a high‐fat meal in healthy adult males leads to a significant reduction of systemic postprandial and adipose tissue postprandial inflammation. ABSTRACT The postprandial period is marked by increased plasma inflammatory biomarkers and heightened adipose tissue inflammation.

Multitrophic interactions: How plant defense is amplified by entomopathogenic nematode‐infected cadavers

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Entomopathogenic nematode‐infected cadavers trigger plants to release volatile organic compounds that deter herbivores, attract parasitic wasps, and boost defense responses, highlighting their potential for sustainable pest management. Abstract Grasping the dynamics between plants and herbivores, as well as the defenses triggered by insects, may hold ...

Melatonin signaling promotes resistance to rice sheath blight

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Multiple genes involved in the melatonin synthesis pathway in rice were induced by Rhizoctonia solani infection. The increase in melatonin content in plants promote resistance to rice sheath blight (ShB). Notably, exogenous melatonin treatment promoted rice resistance to ShB, and higher concentrations of melatonin inhibited the hyphal growth of R ...

The nuclear hormone receptor family transcription factor Dd‐NHR‐1 is required for embryonic development in Ditylenchus destructor

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, EarlyView.
The nuclear hormone receptor family transcription factor Dd‐NHR‐1 is essential for embryonic development and infectivity by Ditylenchus destructor in sweet potatoes. Dd‐NHR‐1 can participate in nervous system development as a key upstream regulator by globally regulating multiple downstream factors during the embryonic stage of plant‐parasitic ...

Nutritional priorities to support GLP‐1 therapy for obesity: A joint Advisory from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, the American Society for Nutrition, the Obesity Medicine Association, and The Obesity Society

open access: yesObesity, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Glucagon‐like peptide 1 receptor agonists and combination medications (hereafter collectively referred to as GLP‐1s) are shifting the treatment landscape for obesity. However, real‐world challenges and limited clinician and public knowledge on nutritional and lifestyle interventions can limit GLP‐1 efficacy, equitable results, and ...
