Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a multifactorial reproductive disorder that affects approximately 1–5% of couples of reproductive age and is associated with considerable emotional and clinical burden. Although several genetic, anatomical, endocrine, infectious, and thrombophilic factors have been implicated, the underlying cause remains unexplained in nearly half of all cases, highlighting the importance of immune dysregulation in disease pathogenesis. Among immune factors, immunoglobulins play pivotal roles in maintaining maternal–fetal immune homeostasis by regulating immune tolerance, complement activation, autoantibody production, and inflammatory signalling. However, dysregulated humoral immune responses may disrupt placental development and fetal tolerance, thereby contributing to pregnancy failure. This review summarises current evidence regarding the biological functions of immunoglobulins in normal pregnancy and their involvement in the pathogenesis of RPL. We discuss the clinical significance of immunoglobulin-associated biomarkers, including antiphospholipid, antinuclear, anti-thyroid, and other pregnancy-related autoantibodies, and evaluate their utility in risk stratification and diagnosis. Emerging immunoglobulin-based therapeutic strategies, particularly intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), are reviewed in the context of current clinical evidence and guideline recommendations. Finally, we highlight the potential of comprehensive immunoglobulin profiling, integrated with clinical and molecular biomarkers, to support precision medicine approaches for individualised diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic decision-making in women with RPL. Continued mechanistic and translational research will be essential to validate these biomarkers and optimise personalised immunomodulatory interventions for improving pregnancy outcomes.

Key message Crop wild relatives provide essential genetic diversity for improving crop resilience; however, pre- and post-zygotic barriers often restrict interspecific hybridization. Recent approaches enable their effective use in crop improvement programs. Abstract Crop wild relatives (CWR), closely related wild taxa of cultivated crops, offer a wealth of genetic diversity essential for developing traits to help crops adapt to the challenges of biotic and abiotic stresses. This diversity is critical to meet the increasing global demand for food, especially under the looming threat of climate change. However, crossing between individuals from different species often results in maladapted or inviable offspring due to pre- and post-zygotic barriers. Pre-zygotic barriers prevent successful pollen–stigma interactions and pollen tube growth, while post-zygotic barriers include hybrid embryo or endosperm failure and chromosome pairing issues, contributing to cross incompatibility (CI). These barriers restrict genome exchange and hinder the diversification of the primary gene pool in plants. Overcoming these barriers is a significant challenge. This review explores the diverse pre- and post-zygotic barriers in interspecific hybridization, emphasizing genetic factors related to CI. Additionally, this review highlights biotechnological approaches such as somatic hybridization and embryo rescue techniques, which are used to overcome these barriers. Through continued research and innovation, these barriers can be overcome, unlocking the full potential of CWR to address the evolving demands of global agriculture. Recent advances in synthetic biology now offer the possibility to reprogram reproductive barriers, turning CI into a controllable trait for hybrid development.

Water scarcity is a critical challenge in West Texas, where agriculture and the oil and gas industry compete for limited water resources. The oil and gas industry generates approximately 32% of the nation’s produced water, presenting significant opportunities for beneficial reuse. This study evaluated polished desalinated produced water (PDPW) as a supplemental irrigation source for field-grown alfalfa in a semi-arid region, with conventional groundwater serving as the reference irrigation source. Soil chemistry, heavy metal accumulation, plant physiology, forage quality, and microbial community dynamics were assessed under both irrigation treatments at two growth stages. Polished desalinated produced water met most irrigation water quality standards, although strontium concentrations exceeded recommended thresholds, highlighting the need for continued monitoring. Exceedances in soil macronutrients and organic compounds were primarily attributed to historical soil conditions rather than PDPW application. Interpretation of sodium accumulation was limited because PDPW was blended with groundwater during part of the study period. No significant differences ( p > 0.05) were observed in plant growth or biomass between PDPW and control treatments. Forage quality was comparable and, in some cases, improved under PDPW irrigation through lower fiber concentrations. Microbial community profiling using 16 S and ITS rRNA sequencing revealed stable alpha and beta diversity, with variation driven primarily by sample type and growth stage rather than irrigation source. Dominant bacterial and fungal taxa remained consistent across treatments. These findings suggest that, with appropriate treatment and monitoring, PDPW has the potential to serve as an alternative irrigation source for alfalfa production in semi-arid regions. However, long-term studies are needed to evaluate sustainability and potential cumulative impacts on soil, plants, and microbial communities.

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a multifactorial reproductive disease that is typified by repeated pregnancy loss with immune dysregulation emerging as a critical contributing factor. Immunoglobulins are among the immune components that are instrumental in preserving tolerance between the mother and the fetus, regulating inflammatory responses, and supporting placental development. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the role of immunoglobulins in recurrent pregnancy loss, with particular emphasis on immune dysregulation, emerging biomarkers, and therapeutic implications. The immunoglobulin profiles, such as the changes in IgG subclasses and the presence of pathogenic autoantibodies, e.g. antiphospholipid and antinuclear antibodies, are highly correlated with unfavourable pregnancy outcomes. These changes, in a mechanistic manner, lead to poor trophoblast invasion, endothelial dysfunction, thrombosis and cytokine imbalance. Emerging evidence also highlights the contribution of regulatory B cells and the antibody-mediated immune network in maintaining pregnancy homeostasis. Immunoglobulin profiling has clinical potential as a diagnostic and prognostic methodology that can be used to stratify patients and provide customised therapy. Immunomodulatory therapies, especially intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), are potentially effective in a limited range of patient populations, but clinical response is variable. On the whole, this review demonstrates the role of immunoglobulin-mediated mechanisms in RPL and their future potential in enhancing precision medicine approaches to better diagnosis and management.

The transboundary Brahmaputra basin is a significant component of the Asian Water Tower, housing approximately 66 million people in four countries and experiencing intense floods. However, this data‐scarce river has been subject to very few studies related to the long‐term assessment of its water budget. In this study, a multi‐model ensemble Indian Land Data Assimilation System (ILDAS) is set up to study the trends and variability in the water budget components from 1981 to 2020. The results indicate no significant long‐term trend in the annual basin‐averaged precipitation, evapotranspiration (ET), and runoff; however, spatial divergence in the hydrological cycle within the basin is observed, with the upper/Himalayan part showing an accelerating hydrologic cycle, contrasted by a decelerating hydrological cycle in the lower/plain part, which gets 70% of the basin rainfall. Our findings show that the winter precipitation in the basin has decreased by 5 mm per decade. The decreasing winter precipitation is confined to the lower part of the basin, which translates into a decrease in winter ET and runoff, whereas the upper part of the basin experienced an increase in precipitation in the pre‐monsoon and monsoon periods, resulting in increasing ET and runoff. It is observed that increasing runoff enhances streamflow in the upper basin; however, this signal is nullified by declining runoff towards the downstream region, leading to no significant trend in streamflow in the lower part of the basin. Further, it is observed that the TWSA variability in the basin is significantly dependent on groundwater storage variability and the amount of water stored in rivers and floodplains. These insights enhance our understanding of the complex variability of the hydrology of the Brahmaputra River basin.

Concrete structures in coastal–industrial regions are simultaneously exposed to acid rain, carbonation, and chloride ingress; however, most durability studies investigate these mechanisms independently, limiting realistic service-life prediction. This study presents an integrated experimental, statistical, and artificial neural network (ANN)-based evaluation of M40-grade concrete subjected to synthetic acid rain, accelerated carbonation, and combined carbonation–chloride environments. Laboratory simulations were conducted for exposure durations of 20, 40, 60, and 80 h to replicate aggressive atmospheric conditions. Mechanical degradation was assessed through compressive and splitting tensile strength tests, while chemical deterioration was quantified using depth-wise pH profiling and carbonation depth measurements. Results revealed that compressive strength decreased by up to ~ 25% under acid rain exposure and showed greater deterioration under combined carbonation–chloride conditions. Splitting tensile strength exhibited higher sensitivity to degradation, with reductions exceeding 20% at prolonged exposure durations. Surface pH declined from 12.6 to approximately 8.8, confirming rapid alkalinity loss in the outer 1 cm zone. Carbonation depth increased progressively, reaching ~ 11.5 mm in the combined exposure environment. Regression analysis demonstrated strong inverse correlations (R 2 > 0.90) between carbonation depth and mechanical properties, while one-way ANOVA confirmed statistically significant differences across exposure durations ( p < 0.05). To enhance predictive capability, an ANN model was developed using experimental parameters as inputs, achieving high prediction accuracy (R 2 = 0.98 for training and R 2 = 0.96 for testing). The findings highlight synergistic deterioration effects of multi-environmental exposure and emphasize durability-based design strategies for reinforced concrete structures in aggressive environments.

The Asia region harbors exceptional chondrichthyan (shark, ray, and chimaera) diversity but faces intense fishing pressure. The Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRA) process provides a collaborative, evidence-based framework to identify critical habitats and inform spatial management. We assessed ISRAs across the Bay of Bengal, Southeast Asia, and the Northwest Pacific to characterize their extent, ecological significance, and conservation relevance. We delineated 122 ISRAs spanning ~ 1 million km 2 (~ 3% of the region) across 12 jurisdictions and international waters, encompassing habitats for 121 species (~ 30% of Asia’s chondrichthyans), 76% of which are threatened. Depleted taxa (e.g., giant guitarfishes, Glaucostegidae) were represented, but charismatic megafauna (e.g., Whale Shark Rhincodon typus ) were overrepresented. In contrast, deepwater and freshwater species were underrepresented. Reproductive Areas were the most common ISRA sub-criterion applied (52% of ISRAs), largely in nearshore zones, while areas for range-restricted species were less frequently (18%) identified. Twelve ISRAs overlapped with biodiversity hotspots, including seven in areas of high overall chondrichthyan species richness and five in areas of high range-restricted species richness. Citizen science was the predominant research method used to delineate ISRAs, while fisheries data were underused despite the region’s major fisheries footprint. Geographic coverage was uneven: Indonesia held the most ISRAs (n = 40; 71.7% of ISRA coverage) while eight jurisdictions (e.g., Viet Nam, China, Republic of Korea) lacked ISRAs due to data gaps. Protection shortfalls are stark: MPAs cover

Mitigating chromium (VI) toxicity through microbial and biotechnological innovations: a critical review - P. Singhal; V. Sharma; R. Kumar; A. A. M. Alkhanjaf; A. Umar; S. Baskoutas (International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2026)
Hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] is a prevalent and highly toxic environmental contaminant known for its persistence and severe ecological and health consequences. Its high solubility and mobility contribute to long-lasting pollution, while its carcinogenic properties pose significant risks to living organisms. Conventional physicochemical methods such as precipitation, ion exchange, and membrane filtration are employed for Cr (VI) removal but often suffer from drawbacks including high costs, incomplete elimination, and generation of secondary pollutants. In contrast, microbial and biotechnological methods offer sustainable, environmentally friendly alternatives for detoxifying Cr (VI). This review focuses on microbial remediation strategies, including biosorption, bioaccumulation, biotransformation, and bioleaching, with particular attention to the roles of bacteria and fungi. Key factors discussed include microbial resistance genes and enzymatic systems that facilitate the reduction of Cr (VI) to the less harmful Cr (III). Advances in designing microbial consortia, understanding genetic regulation, and integrating bioprocess engineering are also explored to enhance remediation efficacy. Comparing traditional and biological approaches highlights the superior sustainability and scalability of microbial systems for large-scale environmental treatment. Innovations in microbial bioremediation through biotechnological approaches present a promising path forward for mitigating chromium pollution and restoring environmental health in contaminated ecosystems.

Aim Microbiome rewilding seeks to harness plant‐microbe interactions for sustainable agriculture, assuming that ancestral microbial partners have been lost during domestication and geographical spread. Designing microbiome rewilding strategies requires a quantitative and predictive understanding of the fundamental ecological processes—selection, dispersal, and drift—driving microbial assembly and persistence in the rhizosphere of crop wild progenitors (CWPs). Location Global. Time Period Present. Major Taxa Studied Rhizosphere bacteria and fungi. Methods Here, we leveraged a global survey of the CWPs of 10 major crops across their native habitats to assess the roles of selection, dispersal, and drift in shaping rhizosphere microbial communities. We combined compositional and phylogenetic turnover metrics with local network analyses to evaluate community assembly and structure in response to environmental gradients. Results We found host‐driven selection, reflected by low phylogenetic turnover at the whole‐tree level, but also selection driven by differences among individual plants, as indicated by high turnover among closely related taxa. The high level of compositional turnover found suggests dispersal limitations, which in the context of CWPs, may indicate host‐mediated filtering of external microbial taxa. The network structure was constant across CWPs; however, bacterial and fungal structures diverged, pointing to distinct community organisations. Bacterial communities presented higher modularity and lower clustering than fungal communities. Climate, especially seasonal temperature and precipitation, was the main driver of both bacterial and fungal structures. However, host identity best predicted bacterial structure, while NDVI, a proxy for vegetation status, better explained fungal patterns. Main Conclusions Bacterial and fungal communities are shaped by consistent assembly processes across CWPs, but their structures diverge. With the identification of the assembly processes driving microbiome composition in the rhizosphere of CWPs, this work paves the road to incorporate microbiome rewilding in the toolbox of sustainable agriculture.

Climate-driven shifts in salinity regimes pose significant challenges to aquatic organisms, particularly those inhabiting dynamic coastal ecosystems. Etroplus suratensis (Pearl spot), a euryhaline cichlid capable of thriving across fresh, brackish, and marine environments, offers an excellent model for understanding molecular strategies underpinning salinity acclimation. This study investigated the transcriptomic reprogramming in the gills of fish acclimated for 21 days to freshwater (0‰), brackish water (18‰), and marine water (36‰) conditions. Freshwater exposure elicited a coordinated metabolic response characterized by activation of mitochondrial energy pathways, including oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport, to support ATP-intensive ion uptake, alongside enhanced ion transport functions and epithelial remodeling. In contrast, marine water exposure triggered a more pronounced osmoregulatory shift, with activation of calcium-dependent exocytosis and vesicular trafficking pathways central to maintaining ion balance under high salinity. However, prolonged marine water exposure also led to suppression of key antioxidant and immune pathways, revealing a potential trade-off whereby resources are redirected toward ion regulation at the expense of physiological defense mechanisms. Concurrent enrichment of cortisol synthesis, autophagy, apoptosis, and other stress-responsive pathways further reflects cellular remodeling and adaptive stress management under salinity stress. Collectively, these results demonstrate the remarkable metabolic plasticity and molecular resilience of E. suratensis , highlighting its capacity to deploy distinct, context-dependent mechanisms to maintain homeostasis across fluctuating salinity environments.
