New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 5, October 2026.A long‐term study was started in 2020 to monitor the transition of a Romney‐based flock to a fully‐shedding flock as a potential strategy to reduce shearing costs. Romney ewes (n = 400) were bred to Wiltshire rams, alongside a control group of Romney ewes (n = 200) bred to Romney rams.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 13, Page 8073-8084, October 2026.Abstract Background Sheep wool may reduce drought stress in grasslands when used as a soil amendment. Two experiments were conducted to explore if: (i) water absorbed by wool would be biologically ‘active’ and therefore available to plants, using a novel method of measuring water activity (a w); and, (ii) adding wool to compost would delay water stress

Soybean induced resistance to Spodoptera eridania herbivory
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9931-9943, October 2026.SOD, CAT, APX, PPO, KTI, and MDA levels were higher in the resistant soybean. S. eridania herbivory increased H2O2 and MDA, but decreased SOD and PPO levels. S. eridania herbivory increased KTI activity only in the resistant variety. Isoquercitrin and daidzin were exclusive to resistant and susceptible soybeans.

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract We conducted phylogenetic analyses of Poa focused on Afro‐alpine species from sub‐Saharan Africa and Madagascar. We analyzed three plastid regions (matK, trnC‐rpoB, trnT‐trnL‐trnF) and two nuclear ribosomal (nr) regions (ITS, ETS) for 194 samples and 117 species of Poa. We present new DNA data for 93 samples, including 33 samples of seven Afro‐
