Food insecurity is associated with a multitude of negative outcomes among adolescents. Despite adolescents' burgeoning autonomy, much of the research has relied on parent-proxy report, with few studies directly comparing adolescents' and parents' perceptions of adolescent food security. In the present study, parent-adolescent dyads (N = 144) completed questionnaires measuring perceptions of adolescent food security. Adolescents (12-17 years) completed the Child Food Security Survey Module. Parents completed the Household Food Security Survey Module. Dyads demonstrated discordant perceptions of adolescent food security on categorical- and item-levels of analysis. Further research is needed to elucidate explanations for these discrepancies using longitudinal designs.

The fungal disease chytridiomycosis (caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis [Bd]) is a primary contributor to amphibian declines. The frog metamorphic stages, characterised by extensive physiological reorganisation and energy expenditure, have heightened susceptibility to Bd. However, little is known about how these metamorphic stages respond immunologically to Bd infection.

Paddy rice, one of the world's primary cereals, plays a critical role in food security and environmental sustainability. Existing global rice distribution datasets provide valuable insights but are often constrained by time and coverage. In this study, we developed the GloRice (I), a long-term global gridded dataset mapping rice harvested and physical areas at a 5-arcminute resolution for 1961-2021.

Soil Cadmium (Cd) contamination is a worldwide problem with negative impacts on human health. Cultivating the Cd-Pollution Safety Cultivar (Cd-PSC) with lower Cd accumulation in edible parts of plants is an environmentally friendly approach to ensure food security with wide application prospects. Specialized mechanisms have been addressed for Cd accumulation in crops.

Background: Plant senescence is a genetically controlled process that results in the programmed death of plant cells, organs, or the entire plant. This process is essential for nutrient recycling and supports the production of plant offspring. Environmental stresses such as drought and heat can hasten senescence, reducing photosynthetic efficiency and significantly affecting crop quality and yield.
