The biocultural heritage and changing role of indigenous yams in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa
Global yam production is centred on West Africa, but there are significant knowledge gaps about farm‐level diversity across much of the region, and especially in Guinea. Although yam production is increasing in Guinea, in the longer term, varietal diversity and the sustainability of agri‐systems are at risk.

Tree‐Ring Anatomy Improves the Reliability of Temperature Reconstructions Using Relict Wood
Abstract Tree rings are crucial for reconstructing past climates, with maximum latewood density (MXD) as a key metric. However, wood integrity is critical for accurate MXD‐based reconstructions, raising concerns when using potentially degraded relict wood. Quantitative wood anatomy (QWA) provides a morphometric alternative.

This study explores the effect of selenium‐chitosan treatment (25 mg L⁻¹ selenium and 1.0% chitosan) on enhancing disease resistance in Red Globe grapes during cold storage at 0°C. The treatment significantly reduced the decay rate from 41.79% to 4.93% after 60 days, attributed to increased antioxidant enzyme activities.
