Article Abstract
There are close links between solar UV radiation, climate change, and plastic pollution. UV-driven weathering is a key process leading to the degradation of plastics in the environment but also the formation of potentially harmful plastic fragments such as micro- and nanoplastic particles. Estimates of the environmental persistence of plastic pollution, and the formation of fragments, will need to take in account plastic dispersal around the globe, as well as projected UV radiation levels and climate change factors.

This study introduces Multi-Dimensional Environment (MDE) zoning to enhance maize resilience and improve stagnant yields in China amidst climate change. Utilizing comprehensive environmental and yield data, MDE zoning accurately identifies areas for targeted, climate-adaptive breeding. The tool provides a flexible framework for updates using annual variety testing and daily environmental data, optimizing production and resource allocation.

Sugar metabolism is commonly implicated as crucial in the transition between growth and cessation during winter; however, its exact role remains elusive. The evergreen iris (Iris japonica) ceases growth in winter without entering endodormancy, yet it continues to sustain sugar metabolism and transport throughout the season. Here, we elucidate the mechanisms underlying the sugar-mediated growth transition-the shift between growth and cessation-in I.

Objective: The food system is a major contributor to the global burden of disease, ecosystem destruction and climate change, posing considerable threats to human and planetary health and economic stability. Evidence based food policy is fundamental to food system transformation globally, nationally and at a local or institutional level. The study aimed to critically review the content of universities' food sustainability (FS) policy documents.
