A mechanism‐based framework for biostimulant categorization in grain crop production

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Despite two decades of commercial growth, the field efficacy of biostimulants remains inconsistent due to factors like crop specificity, weather, soil conditions, application timing, and distinct modes of action (MoA). While these sustainable tools are widely recognized for enhancing plant nutrition, stress tolerance, and crop quality in ...

Comparative Study of Free and Total Fatty Acids of Spreadable Cheeses by Mass Spectrometry Methods

ChemFoodChem, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2026.
This study focuses on the determination of FFAs in spreadable cheeses and alternatives using a fast Liquid Chromatography‐High Resolution Mass Spectrometry method. A Gas Chromatography‐Mass Spectrometry method was used to determine the composition (%) of total FAs in the same samples.

Is small mammal mycophagy relevant for truffle cultivation?

Acta Mycologica, 2013
The role of small mammal mycophagy as vectors of hypogeous fungi is well established. However, little is known about dispersal of gourmet truffle species by mammal vectors, or about the potential role of mycophagy in truffle plantations.

Mechanistic role of biochar as a geobiochemical amendment: Mitigating abiotic stress and enhancing soil–plant interactions

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Abiotic stressors, including drought, salinity, and heavy metal contamination, pose escalating threats to global food security, challenges further exacerbated by climate change and progressive soil degradation. As a strategic geochemical amendment, biochar is increasingly proposed to enhance soil resilience and agricultural sustainability ...

Artificial exposure to herbivore‐induced volatile organic compounds reduces herbivory and modulates gene expression in potato plants

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
These findings provide strong mechanistic evidence for VOCs mediating pest resistance and suggest that exposure to herbivore‐induced, plant‐derived VOCs can enhance pest resistance in potato crops. These results might offer novel information for developing ecologically sustainable plant volatile‐based strategies for boosting protection against pests in

THE FIRST REPORT OF TRUFFLES (TUBER AESTIVUM VITTAD.) IN ZADAR COUNTY

Geoadria, 2020
True truffles (Tuber spp.) are among the most appreciated mushroom in gastronomy. Due to their particular taste and limited natural availability the price of these underground mushrooms is high. In Croatia, the most important presence of Tuber spp. was reported in Istria.

Reconfiguring biofortification strategies to transform food systems and address micronutrient deficiency of the 21st century

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2511-2547, August 2026.
This review explores how to make staple foods and horticultural crops more nutritious, including how artificial intelligence‐based screening of gene banks helps deploy nutritionally rich germplasm into breeding. Genome editing can help develop crops richer in minerals, vitamins, and health‐promoting compounds, supporting healthier diets and more ...
