Understanding the dynamic nature of plant lipid anabolic and catabolic metabolism is key to sustainable oilseed engineering

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2196-2214, March 2026.
Summary Plant‐derived oils are essential sources of reduced carbon and various fatty acid (FA) structures for food, biofuels, and the oleochemical industry. Despite extensive efforts, engineering mainstream oilseed crops to produce high levels of industrially valuable unusual FAs (UFAs) remains challenging.

Enhancing Neglected and Underutilized Crop Species (NUCS) in Nepal: Unlocking Their Potential for Climate Resilience, Food Security, and Agrobiodiversity

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background The global dominance of a few major cereal crops has led to the marginalization of traditional species, reducing agrobiodiversity and increasing the vulnerability of food systems. Changing climate conditions, particularly intensifying drought stress, further threaten global food security.
