Exploring the Quality of Historic DNA From Pinned Beetles
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Dry‐preserved museum specimens offer valuable but degraded DNA for genomic studies, making extraction method choice crucial. We found that an oligo‐focused silica‐column protocol yielded higher‐quality short DNA fragments than standard silica or precipitation methods, and that specimen age mainly reduced fragment length and locus recovery, while DNA ...

Application of CFS‐Loaded CMC/GEL Spray Coating for the Small Fruit Blueberries Preservation
Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.Schematic illustration showing the fabrication of the CFS‐loaded CMC/GEL composite spray coating and its application in the blueberry preservation. The preservation experiment indicated that the blueberries sprayed with 100% CFS/CMC/GEL exhibited a lower decay rate, reduced weight loss, and lower malondialdehyde (MDA) level compared with the control ...

An Inquiry-Based Investigation of Bacterial Soft Rot of Potato
The American Biology Teacher, 2018 Inquiry-based investigations of diseases are often difficult to safely undertake in middle school or high school science courses. However, by utilizing potatoes as a mammalian analogue, important groups of pathogens can be investigated with common materials available from the local supermarket. This article provides information to guide the exploration
