abstract = {Men’s overrepresentation in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields is long standing and not fully understood. Since STEM fields drive much of the innovation that fuels economic growth, by not fully utilizing the potential of half the population, economies may be thereby missing out on valuable contributions. Thus, understanding this gap in representation is crucial. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of gender differences in the number of tertiary STEM students and graduates in the European Union from 1991 to 2019, with a focus on geographic representation and secular changes in the magnitude of these differences. A unique spatiotemporal analysis was performed for dentifying the extent of gender inequality in STEM fields across Europe. The analysis show that the general increase in participation in higher education doubled the number of women in tertiary education but not in STEM fields. Thus, women are consistently underrepresented among graduate entrepreneurs, especially in STEM. The results also revealed smaller gender differences in STEM in Central and Eastern European as well as Scandinavian countries than in Western European countries, but similar patterns across generations were observed. This work identifies the relationship between women’s growth in STEM fields, the effectiveness of chosen policy measures, and the untapped potential of women to fill a possible shortage of graduates in STEM fields. © (2025), (Hungarian Central Statistical Office).

abstract = {Background: In February 2022, Russian Federation troops attacked Ukraine on several fronts, thereby starting a war that continues to this day. The invasion garnered worldwide opposition, leading to sanctions imposed on politicians and corporations in the Russian Federation. The war has also left its mark on art, culture, and science. Methods: In this study, we analyse the war in Ukraine and how scholars around the world have examined it. The analysis is divided into three parts: (1) a comprehensive review of the number of articles and conference proceedings related to the Russia-Ukraine war in the Web of Science (WoS) disciplines/categories; (2) the main topics and directions chosen by the authors; and (3) a summary of studies focused on COVID-19 during the war. The latter topic is particularly important, as the COVID-19 situation in Ukraine was already complex before the 2022 invasion, and the ongoing military actions have further exacerbated it. For the above analyses, we utilised a WoS database from 2014 (covering the first Russian attack on Crimea; Donetsk and Luhansk regions) through December 2022. Results and Conclusions: For academics, the war in Ukraine has become a significant subject of study. As it proliferated, culminating in a direct mass attack in February 2022, research efforts involved more and more scientific fields. These fields range from political science and sociology research to psychology and marketing to engineering science or supply chains. © 2024 Kamil Maciuk, Paulina Lewinska, Artur Krawczyk, Piotr Trojanski, Michal Apollo and David C.

abstract = {The frequency and intensity of Compound Drought and Heatwave Events (CDHEs) have significantly increased under global change, extensively impacting societies and ecosystems. This study aims to identify CDHEs and thoroughly analyze their characteristics and trends. By combining the Standardized Precipitation Evaporation Index (SPEI) and Heatwave Index (HWI), a Compound Drought and Heatwave Index (CDHI) is developed. The regional event identification algorithm, Intensity-Area-Duration (IAD), is applied for CDHE detection. Analysis of warm-season CDHEs (May–October) reveals a notable rise in frequency and duration, particularly after 2000 across China. High-prevalence areas include Northwest China (especially central and eastern Xinjiang) and the Southeast. In addition to frequency and number of days, the intensity, duration, and impact area of CDHEs all showed increasing trends, with relatively consistent spatial distribution patterns. The intensity, duration, and impact area of CDHEs in the Northwest and Southern regions were higher than in the Northeast. A notable positive correlation was found between intensity, duration, and impact area, suggesting that longer durations are associated with higher intensity and larger impact areas. These findings are valuable for enhancing disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. In light of growing CDHE severity, a strategy emphasizing mitigation while equally addressing adaptation is essential. © 2025 The Author(s).

abstract = {Seed cones in gymnosperms consist of scales composed of dead cells at maturity. In Abies concolor, seed release occurs when entire seed-scale complexes, including sterile bracts that support the ovuliferous scales, are shed, causing the cone to disintegrate. This process is driven by the hygroscopic movements of the scales, which result from the reversible and uneven deformation of dead tissues in response to changes in water content. Unlike pine seed cones, which serve as a model for scale movement studies, fir features large, lamina-like ovuliferous scales that undergo extensive movements, including significant changes in surface area and profound shape transformations. Therefore, the objective of this study was to elucidate the mechanism of scale movement in fir. Quantification of surface deformation of the scale lamina and isolated tissues during transitions between dry and wet states revealed significantly higher deformation of abaxial than adaxial scale surface. Analysis of scale anatomy and chemical composition of cell walls identified three plate-shaped building blocks of the lamina: a relatively loose adaxial plate; a plate including vascular bundles built of thick-walled xylem fibers, with walls rich in xylosyl residues; an abaxial plate rich in mannosyl residues and comprising scattered sclerenchyma fibers and compact epidermis. Mechanical damaging of lamina surface and dissection of individual plates showed that lamina actuation is resilient and lamina movements are driven by interplay between the three plates. The relative plate contribution to the lamina volume tunes the extent of hygroscopic movements. In particular, different contribution of the adaxial plate to the scale thickness and related asymmetry of position of vascular bundle plate explain the profound discrepancy in the degree of scale bending despite the similarities in tissue structure, chemical composition and surface strains of individual scales. We postulate that the hygroscopic movements are tuned by simple quantitative modifications of the lamina Bauplan.

abstract = {This study evaluates the effectiveness of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) based on six machine learning models in predicting flood susceptibility in the Dwarakeswar river basin in Eastern India. Fifteen flood conditioning factors were employed as input predictors. The dataset underwent a series of pre-processing procedures, including conducting a statistical Pearson correlation, ordinary least squares (OLS), and multi-collinearity analysis, to identify the best flood-contributing factors. Additionally, the Information Gain Ratio (InGR) feature selection technique was utilized to assess the relevance of features. The accuracy of the models during the validation phases was assessed using various statistical metrics such as accuracy, kappa score, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Although all models demonstrated robust flood prediction abilities (AUC > 0.988), the AHP-Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM) model exhibited the highest performance (AUC = 0.996). This indicates that, among the models examined, the AHP-GBM model holds significant promise for evaluating flood-prone regions and facilitating effective planning and management of flood hazards. This model identified 12.68% and 5.14% of the study area as very high and high flood susceptibility zones, respectively. The SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis shows that the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI), rainfall, elevation, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), proximity to rivers, drainage density, and Terrain Ruggedness Indices (TRI) are the best influences on flood probability. Based on the climate projections from future Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) models (SSP2 4.5; SSP5 8.5), the southern region of the study area has been pinpointed as a hotspot for flooding vulnerability, with a susceptibility level classified as very high, encompassing 16.68% of the area. © The Author(s) 2025.},

The potential role of soil enzymatic activity in novel ecosystems spontaneously re-established on post-mining sites in the management activity. Soil enzymes are crucial for nutrient cycling, including carbon cycling. This needs consideration in the novel ecosystem functions that develop on post-mining sites and the ecosystem services that this ecosystem can provide. Soil enzymes, including dehydrogenases, phosphatases, and urease, are analyzed to understand their role in organic matter cycling. The research emphasizes the impact of vegetation on enzyme activity, highlighting the intricate relationships between plants, microorganisms, and soil properties. The aim of this study is to review the current study results concerning the enzymatic activity in the mineral post-mining substratum as a tool for vegetation diversity and novel ecosystem functioning assessment. The performed review and bibliometric analysis reveal the growing interest in soil enzyme research across various scientific disciplines. However, a more specialized subset of articles focusing on soil enzyme activity in mineral post-mining sites indicates a need for targeted investigation. The study contributes to our understanding of the complex interplay between novel ecosystem's functioning processes, vegetation, and soil enzyme activity, providing insights into the less-explored habitat type of mineral post-mining sites. © 2025 Institute of Physics Publishing.

abstract = {Studies on biodiversity and biomass productivity in ecosystems indicate that species richness and functional diversity drive ecosystem processes, including biomass productivity. Various models, such as unimodal, negative, and neutral, including complementarity and mass-ratio hypotheses, propose relationships between biodiversity and biomass. Despite numerous studies in natural and seminatural ecosystems, factors affecting biodiversity and biomass relationships remain controversial. This study analyses taxonomic and functional diversity as drivers of above-ground biomass and explores mechanisms influencing biomass production in spontaneous vegetation in post-mining mineral habitats. The study reveals that in the coal mines’ mineral novel ecosystems, the highest biomass in spontaneous vegetation is not significantly correlated with high diversity in vegetation species composition. Harsh conditions in mineral material habitats are reflected in plant species and the functional diversity of spontaneous vegetation. Successional development on post-coal mine heaps exhibits non-analogous species composition. Biotic and abiotic conditions shape gradients along which vegetation species composition is distributed, influencing functional and taxonomical diversity, and ultimately impacting biomass quality, quantity, and ecosystem function. Contrary to expectations, higher biomass is not linked to vegetation types with greater species composition diversity. Regardless of diversity measurement, areas with lower species diversity show higher accumulated biomass. This paradox suggests that factors beyond species diversity significantly impact biomass quantity in ecosystems. These findings challenge assumptions, emphasising the need for further research into specific mechanisms regulating biomass quantity in different vegetation types to refine our understanding of ecosystem dynamics. © 2025.

abstract = {Phosphide-bearing diopside-anorthite paralava found in the distribution area of the pyrometamorphic rocks of the Hatrurim Complex in Jordan (Daba-Siwaqa field) and Israel (Hatrurim Basin field) have yielded a large number of new phosphides and phosphates. In 2019, a small outcrop of phosphide-bearing breccia with cement composed of gehlenite-flamite paralava was discovered in the Hatrurim Basin. A new pyrophosphate, yamhamelachite, KCrP2O7 (P21/c; a = 7.3574(3); b = 9.9336(4); c = 8.1540(4) Å; β = 106.712(5)°; V = 570.77(5)Å3; Z = 4), occurs at the phosphide-enriched boundary between an altered sedimentary xenolith and the gehlenite-flamite paralava. Yamhamelachite forms green aggregates in which the size of grains does not exceed 25-30 μm. The mineral is transparent with a glassy lustre. Yamhamelachite is brittle with conchoidal fracture. Mohs hardness = 4. The empirical formula of yamhamelachite calculated on the basis of average microprobe analyses is (K0.89Ca0.010.10)∑1.00 Cr3+0.50V3+0.33Al0.15Fe3+0.04 Ti4+0.03)∑1.05P1.98O7. The density calculated from the empirical formula and structural data is 3.035 g·cm-3. Cr3+ in yamhamelachite is substituted by V3+, and in a few cases V is marginally more abundant than Cr, indicating the presence of a potentially new mineral with the formula KVP2O7. Yamhamelachite consists of layers of Cr3+-octahedra and pyrophosphate groups connected at their apices, and potassium located within channels parallel to [001]. A characteristic feature of phosphide aggregates associated with yamhamelachite is the presence of two generations of barringerite, the earlier of which has higher Cr and V content. In the general crystallisation sequence, yamhamelachite appears after phosphides (+pyrrhotite, daubréelite) and then spinels of the chromite-magnetite series crystallise, along with ferromerrillite and ferroalluaudite. The source of chromium for yamhamelachite was mainly V-Cr-bearing pyrrhotite and V-bearing daubréelite. The low Fe3+ content in yamamelachite, likely related to its late-stage alteration, indicates that it crystallised from phosphate melt under reducing conditions at ~1000°С. © 2025 Cambridge University Press.

Analytical approaches to determining the dispersion of harmful gases are analyzed. The results of the study of the processes of formation and dispersion of harmful gases in windless weather and at a wind speed of 2 m/s, during explosions of reference and new industrial mixed (emulsion) substances in quarries are presented. The results of calculations of the index of atmospheric pollution by carbon monoxide and the magnitude of the potential risk to the health of the population during the detonation of various types of explosives are revealed. A comparative analysis of TNT and non-TNT types of explosives regarding the effects on atmospheric pollution was carried out. The values of CO concentration of 60 s after the detonation of explosives at different distances from the explosion site were studied. Calculations of the index of atmospheric pollution by carbon monoxide and the magnitude of the potential risk to the health of the population during explosions of non-TNT emulsion explosives in comparison with traditional explosives were carried out. The research results showed the advantage of emulsion explosives without TNT content, and the most environmentally safe is the use of emulsion explosive ERA-A1. The transformation of mining enterprises in the direction of the "green transition" requires the minimization of environmental and climatic risks when using explosives, which requires the transition to new, safer types of explosives. © 2025 Institute of Physics Publishing.

abstract = {This study investigates the developmental processes of the pancreas in two squamate species: the sand lizard (Lacerta agilis; Laterata) and the brown anole (Anolis sagrei; Iguania). Utilizing histological serial sections, we generated 3D reconstructions of the pancreas and its associated structures. Through a comparative analysis, we identified shared developmental events, including the emergence of specific structures and the initiation of distinct processes, to elucidate patterns of pancreatic differentiation and morphology. The pancreas of the sand lizard originates from three buds, while that of the brown anole originates from only two. In the sand lizard, the adult-like pancreas has an elongated Y-shape, while in the brown anole, the pancreas resembles the letter T on its side. Despite the differences in shape, in both species, the pancreas consists of four parts: the splenic lobe, the head of the pancreas, and the upper and lower lobes. The distal end of the splenic lobe in both species forms a thickened region called the juxtasplenic body. In the brown anole, endocrine islets are found only in the splenic lobe, and there are no islets in the other parts of the embryonic pancreas. In contrast, two clusters were identified in the pancreas of the sand lizard: one within the juxtasplenic body and the smaller one located where the splenic lobe emerges from the head of the pancreas. Both species differ in the topology of the ducts. In the sand lizard, the cystic and hepatic ducts enter the upper lobe of the pancreas, pass into the head of the pancreas, and form the common bile duct, which drains into the duodenum. In the brown anole, the cystic and hepatic ducts run along the upper lobe of the pancreas, then enter the head of the pancreas and form the common bile duct, which drains into the duodenum. Based on similarities between the brown anole, varanid lizards, and snakes, we propose that there is a common developmental sequence in toxicoferans and the adult pancreas of the brown anole represents an intermediate condition between “typical,” elongated three-lobed lizard morphology and the shortened and partially compact pancreas of varanid lizards. This adds another grade of variation within the evolutionary pathway leading to the compact pancreas of snakes. On the other hand, the development and the adult-like morphology of the sand lizard pancreas strongly resemble the “typical”, plesiomorphic, lizard condition. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of squamate anatomy and may shed light on the evolution of the pancreas in this clade. © 2025 Anatomical Society.},

abstract = {Despite the widespread popularity of charcoal-based grilling fuels, extensive studies have highlighted various pollutants linked to their production and combustion, posing potential risks to human health and the environment. Since the presence of impurities has been identified as a factor contributing to elevated emissions of harmful gases and particulate matter, a comprehensive quality assessment of grilling fuels is imperative to effectively manage and minimise potential risks to customer health and safety. While identifying many impurities in solid biomass fuels is possible through microscopic analysis, identifying fossil coal contaminants in charcoal briquettes can be challenging. The biggest difficulty arises when coal-derived inertinite and man-made charcoal need to be distinguished as both exhibit numerous visual similarities in microscopic images. Therefore, the goal of this study was to examine the optical morphology of inertinite and charcoal with the aim of differentiating them when they co-occur in charcoal briquettes. The results show that employing high differential interference (DIC) and fluorescence filters, coupled with reflected white light in microscopic analysis, can enhance the observations allowing for easier detection of impurities of inertinite in charcoal-based grilling fuels. Among the most notable distinctions are the high degree of cellular structure preservation and the presence of small pores and protrusions in man-made charcoal; these characteristics are typically absent in the inertinite fragments. © 2025.

abstract = {Human activity causes changes in habitat conditions. Where habitat conditions have been significantly altered by human activities, novel ecosystems emerge. This paper aims to analyse novel ecosystem parameters, particularly in relation to biodiversity and restoration law. It presents the role of novel ecosystems in ecosystem functioning and their significance within urban-industrial landscapes. Based on extensive literature reviews, that these ecosystems have been a subject of scientific interest for many years. However, comprehensive knowledge of these ecosystems still needs to be broadened. An interdisciplinary approach to their management is essential. The European Union (EU) has implemented various legislative and policy measures aimed at restoring and conserving natural ecosystems and biodiversity across different members states. Key initiatives include the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, EU Habitats Directive, and EU Funding Programs, all of which promote sustainable development and strengthen restoration laws. Only a proper identification and understanding of novel ecosystems and their ecological processes can contribute to implementing relevant legal actions. In the urban industry landscape, the poor mineral post-mining habitat sites have the unique potential to harbor and develop biodiversity hot spots in densely populated areas. Many of these sites with very harsh habitat conditions that have been left to spontaneous processes going on have become protected sites with outstanding biodiversity established (e.g.; Bytom city). Such examples in Silesia (S Poland) provide proof that such solutions should be a constant element of the post-mining site management plans. © 2025. The Authors.},

abstract = {The middle endodermal region of the digestive system (midgut) of arthropods is responsible for processes related to digestion but is also considered an organ participating in homeostasis maintenance. Therefore, many experimental studies, for example, related to the effect of various stressors on the organism, are conducted on the epithelium of this intestine. However, it is important to know the basic structure and ultrastructure of the midgut tissues. In myriapods (e.g.; millipedes), the midgut has the form of a simple tube lined with a single layer of epithelium, surrounded by hepatic cells and visceral muscles. Considering the fact that millipedes can inhabit various terrestrial environments, feed on a variety of foods, and are important links in food chains, they can be considered good models for ecotoxicological studies. Thus, we selected eight species belonging to the family Julidae (order Julida) to investigate whether any distinct ground pattern for this organ appears within one millipede systematic group and whether it is possible to translate it into the general pattern of the midgut epithelium in millipedes: Leptoiulus sarajevensis (Verhoeff; 1898), Leptoiulus trilineatus (C. L. Koch; 1847), Cylindroiulus boleti (C. L. Koch; 1847), Megaphyllum bosniense (Verhoeff; 1897), Pachyiulus cattarensis (Latzel; 1884) and Pachyiulus hungaricus (Karsch; 1881) as representatives of the epigean fauna as well as Leucogeorgia longipes Verhoeff, 1930 and Leucogeorgia gioi Antić and Reip, 2020 as true cave-dwelling species. The study was performed using light and transmission electron microscopy. The results revealed a general pattern of all cells forming the midgut epithelium in Julidae, as well as the hepatic cells surrounding the midgut. Some small differences were observed, which are probably related to the type of food consumed. Copyright Magdalena Rost-Roszkowska et al.},

abstract = {Drought stress can damage crop growth and lead to a decline in yield, thereby affecting food security, especially in regions vulnerable to climate change. SNAC1 (stress-responsive NAC1), the NAC transcription factor family member, plays a crucial role in stomatal movement regulation. Effective regulation of stomatal movement is essential for protecting plants from water loss during adverse conditions. Our hypothesis revolves around altering HvSNAC1 activity by introducing a point mutation in its encoding gene, thereby influencing stomatal dynamics in barley. Two TILLING mutants, each harboring missense mutations in the NAC domain, exhibited higher stomatal density after drought stress compared to the parent cultivar ‘Sebastian’. These mutants also demonstrated distinct patterns of ABA-induced stomatal movement compared to the wild-type (WT). To delve deeper, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the transcriptomes of these mutants and the parent cultivar ‘Sebastian’ under both optimal watering conditions and 10 days of drought stress treatment. We identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the mutants and WT plants under control and drought conditions. Furthermore, we pinpointed DEGs specifically expressed in both mutants under drought conditions. Our experiments revealed that the cis-regulatory motif CACG, previously identified in Arabidopsis and rice, is recognized by HvSNAC1 in vitro. Enrichment analysis led to the identification of the cell wall organization category and potential target genes, such as HvEXPA8 (expansin 8), HvXTH (xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase), and HvPAE9 (pectin acetylesterase 9), suggesting their regulation by HvSNAC1. These findings suggest that HvSNAC1 may play a role in regulating genes associated with stomatal density, size and reopening. © The Author(s) 2025.},

abstract = {Increasing usage of nanoparticles or nanomaterials may lead to their release into the environment. The toxicity of these structures, classified as contaminants of emerging concern, is not yet sufficiently understood. However, as in the case of other environmental stressors, the effects of exposure to them should be analyzed on a multigenerational scale to predict the consequences for exposed populations. Therefore, this project aimed to assess the impact of graphene oxide (GO) nanomaterial on digestive enzyme activities in the house cricket Acheta domesticus as a model species, depending on GO concentration (0.2 or 0.02 µg·g−1dry weight of food), previous selection for longevity and the number of generations (1-5) that have occurred since the beginning of exposure. The last and sixth generations were insects for which GO was withdrawn from the diet (recovery generation). Enzymatic activity was tested using API Zym kit modified for spectrophotometric reads. The tests revealed that GO intervenes with some digestive enzymes. Moreover, the effects of GO depend on the population’s previous selection for longevity. The impact of mechanisms mitigating the consequences of aging supports the possible tolerance to GO intoxication. It demonstrated itself in diverse patterns of multigenerational response to GO in wild and long-lived insects. Also, multigenerational exposure revealed the ‘third generation’ effect. Finally, the impact of GO elimination depended on the concentration of nanomaterial used for the tests. Also, the potential impact of concentration-dependent agglomeration of GO in the context of hormesis has been discussed. © 2025 The Author(s).

abstract = {Aluminum (Al) is the third, most abundant element in the Earth's crust. When soil pH drops below 5.5, Al is released from minerals, which threatens plant growth. The roots are particularly vulnerable to Al stress because Al ions can penetrate them, causing growth reduction by inhibiting the cell cycle and decreasing root cell elongation. Al has the ability to bind to cell structures, including cell walls, cytoskeleton, or DNA, which disturb their functions. Plants have developed various response strategies, such as the exclusion of organic acids into the rhizosphere or the detoxification of Al in the vacuole. STOP1 (Sensitive To Proton Rhizotoxicity 1) is the critical regulator of the expression of tolerance-related genes and is present in both mono- and dicots plants. The activity of STOP1 can be regulated on post-transcription and post-translation levels. This review paper presents an overview of the latest literature, aiming to accurately present the problem of Al toxicity and its effect on plant functioning. Moreover, the well-studied mechanisms of plant response and future prospects, like the use of polyamines, miRNAs, or DDR (DNA Damage Response) pathway, will be presented, which are opportunities to develop new plant varieties that are tolerant to Al stress. © The Author(s) 2024.},

abstract = {The Upper Silesian Coal Basin faces ongoing challenges with self-heating in coal waste dumps, a problem that leads to dangerous and unpredictable subsurface fires. This study investigates the thermal dynamics and vegetation response in a coal waste dump, expanding on previous research that links waste temperatures with plant health and distribution. The study area—a small, old coal waste dump located in a highly urbanized area—was subjected to comprehensive environmental monitoring focused on various fire determinants. The findings confirm that coal waste dumps, regardless of size and complexity, experience similar fire determinants, with vegetation colonization progressing in bands starting with pioneer species in less heat-affected areas. As the distance from the fire zone increases, plant density and diversity improve, indicating a recovery in thermally stabilized zones. The study also demonstrates the repeatability of relationships between subsurface temperatures and vegetation status across different coal waste dumps, supporting the use of plants as indicators of underground fires. Elevated subsurface temperatures in thermally active zones lead to clear ‘dying’ and ‘death’ zones, where excessive heat damages plant roots, causing die-offs. In contrast, areas with moderate temperatures allow vegetation growth, even in winter, due to favourable root-zone conditions. The study highlights the need for improved monitoring and fire mitigation strategies to address thermal activity in reclaimed sites, especially those with limited historical data. These insights are crucial for preventing similar issues in the future and minimizing the long-term impacts on surrounding communities and ecosystems. © 2025 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.},

abstract = {Thirty years after the fall of the inefficient communist-run economy, the agriculture of the European Union’s Eastern states is still heavily dependent on external financial aid, which is currently forming tools for supporting the development of agriculture and rural areas of the Common Agricultural Policy. This contribution aims to assess the significance of government subsidies from the farmer’s point of view and their relevance for agricultural enterprise management, using the example of the Czech Republic. To do so, 60 interviews with farmers and analyses of the management of 10 enterprises over the past 10 years were used. According to the findings, it can be concluded that a substantial number of farmers view these subsidies as a purely commercial instrument intended to assist them in running their operations. The emphasis on rural development or food security is minimal. Subsidies are a discussion topic mainly for small-scale farmers who envy the large amounts of subsidies received by their large-scale counterparts; thus, dissatisfaction and perceived injustice resonate significantly among most farmers. A look at economic data completely contradicts these views; however, subsidies play the most important role for small businesses, constituting up to four times their assets. As for the amount of subsidies received, they do increase according to the company’s size, but this increase is logarithmic and not linear. A deep discrepancy in the perception and reality of the meaning of subsidies was thus identified as an important element of dissatisfaction in post-socialist agriculture. © The Author(s) 2025.},

abstract = {A recent palaeontological investigation of Lower Devonian clastic strata from Poland has revealed the occurrence of a new type of palynomorph, which have elongate vesicles of variable proportions and exhibit bilateral symmetry. Three morphotypes were distinguished; two (Morphotypes A and B) have somewhat rounded poles without apertures, while the third (Morphotype C) has a thickened annular ring at the apex. The characteristic feature of Morphotypes A and C is a variable thickness of the vesicle at both poles, which makes the palynomorph approximately club-shaped. Morphotype B has an elongate, fusiform symmetrical shape. Some specimens are ornamented, showing irregularly distributed grains, but there are also ‘naked’ forms. The morphotypes generally occur as individuals but mono-taxonomic clusters were also observed. The biological affinity of these palynomorphs remains unclear. Some characters (morphology and shape) may indicate a relationship with arthropods, especially eurypterids. Other possibilities (acritarchs; testate amoebae; chitinozoa; fungi; algae) appear unlikely. The palynomorphs are from a coastal/alluvial environment, with a limited marine influence. © 2025 AASP–The Palynological Society.},

abstract = {Encrustation of Paleozoic cryptic surfaces remains a relatively poorly understood and infrequently documented palaeontological phenomenon. The interior surface of a recently discovered Middle Devonian (Givetian) cephalopod shell, described herein, served as a cryptic substratum for encrustation by numerous (100+) microconchids, thereby providing insights into the palaeoecology of sclerobiosis in such a setting. The cephalopod, recovered from the Windom Shale member of the Moscow Formation of western New York, U.S.A. is preserved as a part-counterpart internal mould, allowing recognition of dense settlement by a cohort of microconchids on the interior upper surface. Maximum settlement a short distance inwards from the opening to the shell may have protected the encrusters from predators, although limited food availability may have resulted in slower growth, as reflected by the relatively small diameter of microconchids. Patterns of encrustation suggest a preference for occupation of this cryptic surface, indicating that Paleozoic microconchids may have preferred settlement upon concealed undersurfaces (given adequate paleoenvironmental conditions). Although microconchids are known as common, even dominant, encrusters on exposed surfaces in Paleozoic settings, this may primarily reflect their generalist tendencies and broad tolerances, as they were able to occupy non-cryptic surfaces despite a potential preference for cryptic surfaces. © 2025 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.},

abstract = {Although understanding the relationship between the reproductive mode and mass-dispersal potential of plants is crucial for studying invasion phenomena, the morphological features of invasive species’ pollen are not well understood. This study examined the pollen morphology and variability of three Reynoutria (knotweed) taxa (R. japonica; R. sachalinensis; R. ×bohemica) invasive in Europe, and their reaction to different habitat conditions within seven distinguished habitat types. The pollen was sourced from 95 sites from the taxa’s invasive range in Central Europe. In total, 2850 pollen grains were measured and analysed for 11 quantitative and qualitative features. The pollen of R. sachalinensis was distinguished from that of the other two taxa (reticulate perforate) based on its rugulate and fossulate perforate exine ornamentation. The pollen’s response to various habitat conditions, which was most marked in R. ×bohemica, was reflected by pollen size and exine thickness. Our research indicates that pollen availability is not a limiting factor for the sexual reproduction of knotweeds in Central Europe, including Reynoutria japonica, long considered male sterile. The observed presence of male-fertile specimens of R. japonica may enhance the efficiency of generative reproduction in this species throughout its invaded ranges. This finding should be considered when planning actions to control the population of these transformer plant species. © Blanka Wiatrowska et al.},

abstract = {Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroid phytohormones which regulate various physiological and developmental processes throughout plant life cycle. The BR biosynthesis has been studied mainly in the dicot model species - Arabidopsis thaliana. However, our current understanding of the BR biosynthesis and its regulation in other species, including cereal crops, is limited. Functions of enzymes which catalyze early stages of the BR biosynthesis in cereals remain poorly understood. Moreover, mechanisms regulating expression of genes encoding these enzymes remain obscure. One of the genes which participate in the early stages of the BR biosynthesis in Arabidopsis is STE1 (STEROL DESATURASE1). However, detailed functional analyses of this gene and its promoter region have not been performed. The aim of this study was to identify and functionally analyze the STE1 gene in barley (Hordeum vulgare) which is an important cereal crop. The functional analysis was carried out with the application of TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions IN Genomes) approach. Six mutations were identified within the 1st exon (including three located in the 5’UTR region) and one missense mutation was identified in the 2nd exon of HvSTE1. Effects of the identified alleles on the HvSTE1 gene expression, sequence of the encoded enzyme variants, BR accumulation, as well as on stature, agronomic traits, and reproduction of the identified mutants were characterized. Homozygous mutants carrying two alleles (hvste1.b and hvste1.o) displayed reduced plant height and defects in the BR accumulation. The HvSTE1 expression was considerably decreased in the 3rd internode of the hvste1.b mutant. Interestingly, the hvste1.b mutant plants showed semi-dwarf phenotype without any negative effect on crucial agronomic traits, such as tiller number, spike length, and grain weight. Moreover, weight of grains produced by the hvste1.b mutant was slightly (5%) higher when compared with the reference cultivar. The results of this study provided a novel insight into the function of the HvSTE1 gene in the BR biosynthesis-dependent regulation of architecture and reproduction of barley. Moreover, the hvste1.b allele allows for achieving a balance between the favorable alteration in plant architecture (semi-dwarfism) and maintenance (slight improvement) of grain weight in this species.

abstract = {Background and Aims Byblis liniflora (Byblidaceae) is a carnivorous plant that has developed sticky flypaper traps with two types of glandular trichomes producing digestive enzymes and sticky mucilage. This study aimed to analyse the ultrastructure of these glandular leaf trichomes based on rapid freeze-fixation and conventional chemical fixation in the attempt to understand their functional contribution to the carnivorous performance of the plants. Methods The Byblis cells were studied in transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy using cryo-techniques for fixation and substitution in addition to conventional chemical fixation. Key Results We show in detail the architecture of both the digestive glands and the mucilage glands with their relevant sets of organelles. Both mitochondria and plastids have a conspicuous plasticity, with branches and constrictions, and they associate to form clusters. The glandular cells appear to be transfer cells with cell wall ingrowths. Digestive glands occur in different states of development. Their cuticle forms discontinuities that are unique among glands of carnivorous plants. They look like cuticular holes – the cuticle separates from the cell wall in only one spot and then ruptures. Cuticular discontinuities thus differ from the cuticular gaps and cuticular pores so far described in carnivorous plants. We therefore propose for them the term ‘cuticular holes’. Conclusions Application of cryo-techniques made it possible to show the true structure of the cell wall and the relationship between cell wall ingrowths and organelles, as well as the morphology and structure of organelles and their associations. © The Author(s) 2024.

They are created due to the accumulation of flue dust particles suspended in the process off-gas with a rapid temperature drop from about 1400 to 350oC. Flue dust and accretions are made of compounds that resemble very rare minerals or new, undescribed phases. This association might prove vital in recreating conditions characteristic of the WHB, which could provide data necessary to improve the metal extraction process. In order to reach this goal, a number of flue dust and accretion samples were examined. SEM microscopy combined with MLA mapping and XRD analysis were used to identify the phase composition and structure of flue dust and accretion samples. Several copper and iron oxides (e.g. delafossite CuFeO2 and spinels) were identified. The samples examined are abundant in sulphates, including anhydrite, langbeinite and various copper-bearing components. Arsenates with copper and/or aluminium cations were identified as well. The analysed phase association shows similarities to minerals present in fumaroles. Some phases like alarsite Al(AsO4) or kamchatkite KCu3(SO4)2OCl are characteristic of a volcanic field on Kamchatka.

abstract = {Our study investigates the morphological development of the stridulatory apparatus in Platymeris biguttatus, Platymeris rhadamanthus, and their hybrid across different nymphal instars. This is the first study to describe the ontogeny of this structure in Reduviidae, particularly in the context of hybridization between two parental species. The findings provide novel insights into the effects of hybridization on the development and morphology of this structure. Comparative analysis of the stridulitrum characters indicates that the hybrid exhibits distinct elongation of the stridulitrum at all developmental stages. The length-to-width ratio of the hybrid stridulitrum remains consistently higher, particularly between the second and third instars. While P. rhadamanthus maintains a naturally elongated stridulitrum with nearly parallel edges, that of P. biguttatus develops a fusiform shape with tapered ends. The hybrid combines these characters, changing toward extreme elongation without proportional widening. Growth patterns reveal a rapid elongation occurring between the second and third instars, followed by more gradual expansion into the imaginal stage. The prosternal groove depth varies among species, with P. biguttatus and the hybrid showing a more pronounced convexity, potentially influencing stridulatory function. Sensilla coeloconica, present in early instars, disappear in adults, suggesting an ontogenetic shift in sensory roles. Our results suggest that hybridization significantly alters the morphology of the stridulatory apparatus, likely impacting its acoustic properties. These findings highlight the need for further research on the functional implications of the rare hybridization phenomenon in Reduviidae, particularly regarding the role of stridulation in communication and predator deterrence. © 2025 The Author(s).

It discusses the environmental factors controlling the occurrence of cyanotoxins, presents the merits and limitations of emerging methods of their detection (qPCR; liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry; and electrochemical biosensors), and outlines the human exposure pathways and health outcomes with identification of high-risk groups and settings. High-risk groups include (1) communities relying on untreated drinking water from unsafe, polluted water sources and (2) low-income countries where cyanotoxins are not routinely monitored in DWSs. The fate and behavior processes are discussed, including removing cyanotoxins in DWSs based on conventional and advanced treatment processes. The available methods for cyanotoxin removal presented in this paper include (1) polymer-based adsorbents, (2) coagulation/flocculation, (3) advanced oxidation processes, (4) ultra- and nanofiltration, and (5) multi-soil layer systems. Future research should address (1) detection and fate in storage and conveyance facilities and at the point of consumption, (2) degradation pathways and toxicity of by-products or metabolites, (3) interactive health effects of cyanotoxins with legacy and emerging contaminants, (4) removal by low-cost treatment techniques (e.g.; solar disinfection; boiling; bio-sand filtration; and chlorination), (5) quantitative health risk profiling of high-risk groups, and (6) epidemiological studies to link the prevalence of human health outcomes (e.g.; cancer) to cyanotoxins in DWSs. © 2025 by the authors.},

abstract = {Understanding the potential earthquake activity of unknown active faults is crucial for assessing seismic hazards in subduction forearcs. Despite advancements, our knowledge of earthquakes on crustal faults away from plate boundaries, particularly in forearcs, remains incomplete. This study addresses this gap by utilizing paleoseismic records, conducting a lidar flight to develop a DTM in the highly vegetated mountains, remote and field mapping geomorphological features, performing a geophysical survey including electric resistivity, and excavating a paleoseismic trench, and dating with radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence, along the central section of the La Venta Fault, named Agua del Perro, in the Guerrero sector of the Mexican subduction Forearc. The trench revealed two-three rupturing events over the last 9000 years. The surface expression of this fault is subtle, characterized by a gentle scarp, minor stream offsets, and a shutter ridge. Our data show evidence of surface fault rupturing with lateral displacement of up to ~50 cm per event and vertical displacement of up to 25 cm. The most recent event occurred around the 14th century CE, registering a magnitude of Mw 6.6–6.8. Given the fault's location, our findings suggest a significant seismic risk to local communities along the fault and populations in larger cities like Chilpancingo, Acapulco, and Mexico City. The study also highlights potential damage to infrastructure, such as the La Venta Dam, and associated hazards, including flooding and rock falls. Regardless of the lack of time-limited instrumental seismicity, our results undoubtedly confirm the Holocene activity and seismogenic potential of the Agua del Perro section of the La Venta Fault. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing the potential hazard posed by crustal intraplate faults away from plate boundaries in the forearc mountains. Our findings underscore the significance of enhancing instrumental monitoring networks by incorporating remote sensing and field studies. This approach is crucial for identifying and characterizing active faults, especially in challenging environments like the one studied. © 2025 The Author(s)},

abstract = {Springtails (Collembola) and mites (Acari) are soil microarthropods, one of the most diverse animal groups in soils. They play a crucial role in organic matter cycling and are active throughout the food web as decomposers, bacterivores, fungivores, and carnivores. Only little is known about how these groups might respond to shifts in water availability, for example in the context of global change. Here, we investigated how soil microarthropods responded to long-term irrigation in a drought-prone Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) forest in southern Switzerland. After more than a decade of doubling the annual rainfall, irrigation improved not only tree vitality but also soil quality, and with shifts in bacteria and fungi reflecting changes from oligotrophic to copiotrophic conditions. We assessed soil microarthropods with two approaches: (1) directly by soil DNA metabarcoding and (2) by morphological assessment after extraction of the animals with Macfadyen funnels. Another main aim of that study was to compare the results with the two approaches. The dominant Collembola genus in both assessment approaches was Parisotoma. The dominant Sarcoptiformes genus was Oppiella whereas Geolaelaps was the dominant Mesostigmata genus in both assessment approaches. Only the metabarcoding approach detected Trombidiformes genera, and only one genus, Microtydeus, had a classification confidence >80 %. The abundance and alpha-diversity of Collembola and Acari did not change significantly as a result of the irrigation treatment, regardless of the assessment approaches applied. In contrast, microarthropod beta-diversity showed significantly shifts for Collembola and Acari, and for the Collembola order Entomobryomorpha and the Acari orders Sarcoptiformes, Mesostigmata, and Trombidiformes. A Procrustes analysis comparing the two assessment approaches indicated a significant effect of the irrigation treatment for the mite order Sarcoptiformes and a nearly significant effect for Collembola. Using indicator species analysis a Parisotoma species was the only Collembola taxon in the metabarcoding assessment that was strongly associated with the irrigation treatment. With the morphological assessment, Parisotoma notabilis and Lepidocyrtus sp. were significantly associated with irrigation. For Acari, only the morphological approach let to Licnodamaeus pulcherrimus as a negative indicator taxon for irrigation. By using the morphospecies lists as a reference for validation and comparing it with the species list obtained through metabarcoding, we found that only a small percentage of Collembola and Acari morphospecies overlapped. The metabarcoding approach detected taxa that were not observed with the morphological assessment, such as Neelipleona, Symphypleona, or Trombidiformes. Due to the complexity of the taxa and the lack of comprehensive taxonomic identification and reference databases, identification at the species level is hardly possible. Further efforts to enrich the microarthropod reference database are urgently needed. © 2025 The Authors},

abstract = {The potential of alluvial geoarchives for revealing the Holocene landscape history of a Central European low mountain range was systematically evaluated. Sedimentary stream sections and their surroundings in the headwaters of the Izera river at an altitude of approx. 830 m a.s.l. were analysed. An interdisciplinary approach was applied, using data from sedimentology, geochemistry, applied geophysics, palaeobotany, dendrochronology, and historical sciences. Two 250 cm-thick profiles show a variety of alluvial sediment types, including fluvial gravel, sand and silt, lacustrine silt, and peat. Subfossil wood, i.e. coarse woody debris consisting of spruce, was found in certain layers in the profiles as well as in the surrounding stream sections. It dates from the mid- to the late Holocene. Palynological and radiometric data show that the alluvial fillings were formed since the turn of the early to the mid-Holocene. Forest phases were synthesised from the locally available pollen data, which prove a local dominance of spruce forests since the Atlantic biozone. First anthropogenic impulses became evident in the Subboreal in the form of grazing indicators. Human-induced changes in the tree species composition did not take place before the late Subatlantic, i.e. in the 13th century. Historical documents point to the very late clearing of the local mountain forest in the 17th century and the establishment of a scattered settlement. The obtained chronologically long alluvial record since the mid-Holocene represents a new feature compared to the stream fillings previously investigated in the adjacent low mountain ranges. The studied alluvial geoarchive complements well the long-term environmental record derived from peat-bogs in the region. © 2025},

abstract = {As nations transition toward sustainable energy systems, biomass has become a vital component of global energy portfolios. Derived from organic materials such as wood, agricultural residues, forestry byproducts, and organic waste, biomass is a renewable energy source with significant environmental and economic benefits. Responsible biomass energy production can improve waste management, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, and mitigate environmental pollution. However, as the diversity of biomass-derived fuels increases, robust quality assessment methods are essential to ensure their efficiency, safety, and minimal environmental impact. Reflected light microscopy (RLM) is one such technique with the potential to complement conventional physico-chemical analyses by enabling a rapid identification of material constituents and impurities. To refine this methodology and evaluate the reproducibility of solid biomass component identification using RLM, an interlaboratory study (ILS) was conducted. The study involved the recognition of 58 components across 45 photomicrographs, with the participation of 65 scientists and students from 25 countries. The participants faced high difficulty identifying some of the marked components, and as a result, the percentage of correct answers ranged from 19.0 % to 98.3 %, with an average correct identification rate of 62.7 %. The most challenging aspects of the identification process included distinguishing between woody and non-woody (agro) biomass, accurately identifying petroleum-derived materials, and differentiating agro biomass from inorganic matter. The results suggest that while RLM is an important tool for characterizing solid biomass, further development of methodology guidelines and training are necessary to enhance its effectiveness. Future research should prioritize preparing detailed, image-rich, microscopic morphological descriptions of biomass fuel components, which could improve the accuracy and reliability of using RLM in biomass fuel characterization. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.

In comparison, other algorithms incurred higher costs, while the optimal diameters remained consistent across all methods, ensuring structural integrity. The minor variations in lengths and paths reflect network design robustness. The importance of selecting the right optimization algorithm based on cost, length, path, and diameter is emphasized. PGSL is introduced for the first time in this context, demonstrating superior cost-effectiveness and significant implications for sewer network optimization.

abstract = {Facilitative and competitive interactions among coexisting parasite species, as well as among alternative host species, produce considerable ecological and evolutionary responses to host-parasite relationships. Such effects can be illuminated by impacts of non-native species on relationships in local communities. We used the association between parasitic European bitterling fish (Rhodeus amarus) and unionid mussels (which host bitterling eggs in their gills) to test the effects of the invasive Chinese pond mussel (Sinanodonta woodiana) and the presence of non-bitterling mussel macroparasites on the pattern of host mussel use by the bitterling across 12 unionid mussel communities with the absence or presence of S. woodiana (and variation in duration of coexistence with local species). While all six European mussel species were used by the bitterling (with the prevalence of > 30% in Unio spp.), no S. woodiana individual was infected by the bitterling. The presence of S. woodiana did not affect bitterling eggs distribution in native mussels. Large native mussels hosted more bitterling. Infection by non-bitterling parasites, mostly water mites (prevalence 47%) and trematodes (25%), did not affect rates of bitterling parasitism. We discuss our results in the context of the rapid evolution of non-native species in their new range and its implication on mussel conservation. © The Author(s) 2025.},

abstract = {Radon (222Rn) was employed as a tracer of seasonal, diurnal and hourly-scale cave air flow. Niedźwiedzia Górna Cave in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, having a well-studied thermal regime representative of similar underground spaces in the temperate climate, was chosen for the research. Relationships between changes in 222Rn activity concentration in cave air and changes in cave microclimate parameters (air temperature) and meteorological parameters (temperature; pressure and wind speed) were compared. Data registered at one-hour intervals throughout a period of 8.5 months (from mid-December 2019 to the end of August 2020) were used. On a seasonal scale, the process of cave air exchange with the atmosphere takes place at the upper level of the cave in the first half of the year (from December to June) and at the bottom level - in the first quarter of the year (January-March). The air exchange is inhibited as the atmospheric air temperature equals the average temperature of the air at the lower level of the cave (+ 8.4 °C) in April and May. At the upper level, it is the atmospheric air temperature higher than the temperature inside the cave (+ 8.5 °C) which stops air exchange in July and August. On a diurnal scale, 222Rn is an effective tracer of air exchange lasting about two weeks in winter (January-February) and as a range from 6 to 9 days in transitional periods in April and May. In an hourly cycle, effective air exchange takes place at daytime and ends at night in warmer parts of the cave and starts at night and continues until noon or the afternoon in colder parts. © The Author(s) 2024.},

abstract = {The use of indigenous AMF species from heavy metal contaminated areas can be a promising tool to support the phytostabilisation of such areas. The aim of the study was to evaluate the AMF species diversity in the roots of the perennial energy grasses Miscanthus × giganteus and Spartina pectinata grown in areas with different levels of heavy metal contamination with regard to the potential use of the dominant AMF species to support phytostabilisation of soils contaminated with Pb, Cd and Zn. Samples were taken from two sites with different levels of Pb, Cd and Zn contamination and from an uncontaminated site as a control. The AMF colonisation of the roots of Miscanthus × giganteus and Spartina pectinata was investigated. The composition of AMF species in the plant roots was determined by sequencing the D2 region of the LSU rDNA of Glomeromycota. Soil contamination had a significant effect on the composition of AMF communities in the roots. Diversispora and Claroideoglomus were the predominant genera in the communities in the heavily heavy metal contaminated area. The AMF communities at moderately contaminated and uncontaminated areas showed a similar structure, with Rhizoglomus as the dominant genus. Species such as Palaeospora spainiae, Rhizoglomus silesianum, Septoglomus sp., Septoglomus nigrum, Ambispora sp., Claroideoglomus etunicatum and Diversispora sp3. were identified exclusively in the roots of Miscanthus × giganteus and Spartina pectinata grown in contaminated areas. They could potentially be used to support phytostabilisation of areas contaminated with Pb, Cd and Zn, but further studies are needed. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2025.},

abstract = {Drought poses a significant threat to global crop productivity and food security. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the impact of drought on transcriptional regulation and alternative splicing in barley (Hordeum vulgare), and to determine whether these transcriptomic alterations correlate with changes in hormonal profiles. We hypothesized that drought stress induces extensive reprogramming of gene expression, including alternative splicing events, and that these molecular responses are accompanied by tissue-specific shifts in hormone levels, ultimately underpinning adaptive responses in both leaves and roots. To test this, we performed RNA-seq and comprehensive hormone profiling on leaves and roots sampled at 25 days after planting under both optimal and drought conditions. Our analysis identified over 6,655 differentially expressed genes, with a substantial subset exhibiting differential alternative splicing. In leaves, drought primarily downregulated photosynthesis-related genes while upregulating pathways involved in water stress and abscisic acid (ABA) signaling. In contrast, roots displayed broader metabolic adjustments and significant isoform switching. Hormone analysis revealed marked ABA accumulation, particularly in roots, alongside organ-specific modulation of jasmonates and auxins. A limited assessment of the rhizosphere microbial community revealed low transcript abundance, underscoring the primacy of intrinsic plant responses. Collectively, these findings provide valuable insights into the multilayered adaptive strategies of barley under drought stress. © The Author(s) 2025.},

abstract = {Brassinosteroids (BRs) are phytohormones which regulate various developmental processes in plants. They are exceptional phytohormones, as they do not undergo long-distance transport between plant organs. However, knowledge about the function of the enzymes that catalyse BR biosynthesis (particularly its early stages) in cereal crops remains limited. Therefore, this study identifies and analyses the function of the HvDWARF5 (HvDWF5) gene, involved in the early stage of BR biosynthesis in barley (Hordeum vulgare), an important cereal crop, using the TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions IN Genomes) approach. The detailed functional analysis allowed for the identification of various mutations in different gene fragments. The influence of these mutations on plant architecture, reproduction, and yield was characterised. Moreover, effects of the missense and intron retention mutations on sequence and splicing of the HvDWF5 transcript, sequence and predicted structure of the encoded HvDWF5 enzyme, and accumulation of endogenous BR were determined. Some of the barley mutants identified in this study showed semi-dwarfism, a trait of particular importance for cereal breeding and yield. However, unlike other BR mutants in cereals, this did not negatively affect grain size or weight. It indicated that mutations in this gene allow for a balance between plant height reduction and maintenance of grain size. Thus, the results of this study provide a novel insight into the role of the HvDWF5 gene in the BR biosynthesis-dependent regulation of architecture and reproduction of the important cereal crop – barley. © 2025 The Author(s).
