Commodity risk assessment of oak and walnut logs from the US
Abstract The European Commission submitted to the EFSA Panel on Plant Health a Dossier from the United States proposing the use of a vacuum–steam–heat treatment as a stand‐alone phytosanitary measure to mitigate the risk of entry of Bretziella fagacearum, Geosmithia morbida and its vector Pityophthorus juglandis (thousand cankers disease complex) into ...

Non‐coding RNAs in plant stress responses: molecular insights and agricultural applications
Summary Non‐coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators in plant responses to environmental stress, orchestrating complex networks that finetune gene expression under both abiotic and biotic challenges. To elucidate this intricate ncRNA crosstalk, this review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of key ...

ABSTRACT Stone fruits, also known as drupes, include apricots, peaches, plums, cherries, and nectarines that have high global demand due to their nutritional benefits and palatable characteristics. Being soft fruits, they are susceptible to various postharvest issues, reducing their shelf life, with postharvest loss reaching 15%–50%.
