Wheat is a primary staple crop worldwide, grown in a wide range of environments, leading to significant yield variation. Improving wheat yield potential and resilience against abiotic and biotic stresses are critical to food security. A perennial debate is to breed for yield potential or for adaptation to specific conditions. In this review, we show that often selection for yield potential also improves crop yield under stress with no trade-offs. We examine agronomic and physiological traits associated with yield that are less likely to exhibit crossover or scaling effects, and we discuss their implications for breeding.

The origin and phylogenetic distribution of symbiotic associations between nodulating angiosperms and nitrogen-fixing bacteria have long intrigued biologists. Recent comparative evolutionary analyses have yielded alternative hypotheses: a multistep pathway of independent gains and losses of root nodule symbiosis vs. a single gain followed by numerous losses.

The antibiotic contamination in aquatic environments, particularly in aquaculture systems, poses substantial risks to ecological balance and human health. To address this issue, we engineered a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe utilizing dual-emission carbon dots (D-CDs) synthesized from sustainable biomass carrot and nitrogen-rich precursors (melamine and o-phenylenediamine) through an efficient one-pot hydrothermal approach. The D-CDs exhibited dual emission peaks at 425nm and 540 nm under 370nm excitation.

Gynecological cancer, encompassing cancers such as endometrial and cervical cancer, is a growing concern worldwide, with a rising incidence and significant impact on women's health. Pterostilbene (PT), a natural compound, has shown promising therapeutic potential in gynecological cancer treatment. This review aims to summarize the current state of knowledge on PT's effects in gynecological cancer, focusing on its molecular mechanisms, preclinical studies, and clinical trials.

Energy production from renewable resources remains a leading focus in sustainable power generation. Recently, bifacial photovoltaic (BPV) systems have gained global attention for their enhanced energy yield. In this study, seashell waste was repurposed as an alternative reflector material for BPV modules.

Purpose Of Review: Patients living with cancer are at risk for significant potential cardiovascular complications as a direct result of cancer treatment or due to underlying comorbid cardiovascular disease. This article reviews the methods of risk stratification as well as pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches to cardioprotection in cardio-oncology.
Recent Findings: Several cancer-specific risk stratification tools have incorporated variables such as age, sex, cancer subtype, traditional cardiovascular risk factors and cancer treatment-related parameters to assess cardiovascular specific risk prior to cancer therapy.
