We've got ISSUES. Literally. We scraped >100k special issues & over 1 million articles to bring you a PISS-poor paper. We quantify just how many excess papers are published by guest editors abusing special issues to boost their CVs. How bad is it & what can we do? arxiv.org/abs/2601.07563 A 🧵 1/n

🎉 Travel grant award! 🧪🌱 Our colleague Yuri Lee has been awarded a travel grant by www.mdpi.com/journal/plants to attend the 8th ICDRA! 📍https://www.8thicdra.info/ Great recognition and a valuable opportunity to share IBBA research on plant stress resilience.

How diet shapes early colorectal cancer risk 🧪🥩🐟🥦 A randomized trial shows a meat-based diet increases genotoxic and inflammatory CRC biomarkers. α-tocopherol partly attenuates these effects, while a pesco-vegetarian diet shows the most favorable profile doi.org/10.1038/s415... #CRC #DietAndHealth

Plant-based support for calf health 🌰🐄🦠 A randomized clinical trial shows that hazelnut skin extract reduced the duration of neonatal calf diarrhea and improved antioxidant status in Holstein heifers. JDS (2026) • Free article 👉 doi.org/10.3168/jds....

Genomics meets buffalo breeding 🧬🐃 First implementation of single-step genomic evaluation (ssGBLUP) for the Italian Mediterranean Buffalo shows higher accuracy for production and type traits 📈🧀 A key step forward for modern breeding programs. JDS (2025) • DOI: 10.3168/jds.2025-27102

Optimizing age at first calving matters 🐃✨ Our new study shows that buffaloes calving at 35–38 months achieve the best balance of milk yield, udder health, fertility, and farm profit 📈💧 Full results in JDS (2025) 🔍 DOI: 10.3168/jds.2025-27467

🐖🌱 “Smart bean” (Phaseolus vulgaris) as an alternative to soy in pig feed: improved gut health, less mineral waste, lower environmental impact. Study by IBBA-CNR & DIVAS-Unimi (LEGUPLUS Project). doi.org/10.1002/vms3... #SustainableAgriculture #CNR

Come nutrire 9 miliardi di persone entro il 2050? I legumi, come il fagiolo 🫘, sono proteici 🌱, sani e amici del suolo 🌏. Con PhasTILL e AGRITECH studiamo nuove varietà più nutrienti e sostenibili per l’agricoltura del futuro. #NotteDeiRicercatori #ERN #CNR

Quanta acqua “mangi”? 🌱💧 Il 70% dell’acqua dolce va in agricoltura: 1 mela = 70 litri, 1 kg di grano = 1300 litri. Alla #NotteDeiRicercatori scopriremo come rendere le colture più efficienti e resilienti con i progetti TOLERANT e MAGICOAT. #ERN #CNR #AgricolturaSostenibile
