In silico characterisation of the avocado WAK/WAKL gene family with a focus on genes involved in defence against Phytophthora cinnamomi

Frontiers in Plant Science
The avocado industry faces a significant threat from the hemibiotrophic oomycete pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi. A variably expressed defence gene during an avocado infection trial was a Wall-associated kinase (WAK). WAK and WAK-Like (WAKL) proteins are

Biodegradable Coatings with Essential Oils for Combating Papaya Anthracnose: State of the Art and Perspectives

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Papaya (Carica papaya L.) production and marketability are strongly constrained by postharvest diseases, with anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum spp. representing the most significant threat. Traditional control relies on synthetic fungicides, which, although effective, face challenges such as the development of pathogen resistance ...

Dietary and biomarker‐guided strategies as supportive measures in the fragile X syndrome

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects males, often resulting in an IQ below 55, while about two‐thirds of females also experience intellectual disability. Physical features may include an elongated face, prominent ears, finger joint laxity, and enlarged testes in males.

Characterization of Fatty Acid Profiles and Nutritional Quality Indices in Commercial Spreadable Processed Cheeses: Comparative Analysis and Health Implications

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Natural processed cheeses showed a more favorable nutritional profile, including higher unsaturated fatty acids and better functional performance. A balanced fatty acid composition was identified as a key factor influencing meltability, oil separation, and overall quality of processed cheeses.

Instrumental variables estimation of large demand systems with an application to fruit and vegetable demand and price index

Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper derives the asymptotic properties of an iterated three‐stage least squares (I3SLS) estimator and applies it to estimate a Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand (QUAID) system for 47 fruits and vegetables with endogenous prices. We calculate an exact price index from the estimates and compare it with several commonly used price indexes.
