The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2747-2767, August 2026.
This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...

Synergistic attraction: Development and field evaluation of a multicomponent lure for Zeugodacus cucurbitae based on host‐plant volatiles and gut bacterium‐derived volatiles

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6919-6930, July 2026.
The newly developed ternary blend was validated in field trials and proved highly effective in attracting both male and female Zeugodacus cucurbitae. Abstract BACKGROUND Zeugodacus cucurbitae is a global quarantine pest. Management of this pest relies heavily on chemical insecticides, which impose substantial environmental burdens. Male‐specific lures [

PlantCTCIP: Chromatin Interaction Prediction Using Convolutional Neural Network and Transformer in Plants

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3634-3655, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Chromatin interactions establish spatial proximity between distant regulatory elements and their target genes, significantly influencing gene expression, and phenotypic traits. In this study, we present a plant chromatin interaction prediction model called PlantCTCIP based on Convolutional Neural Networks and Transformer.

Population Genetic Differences Between Two Cucurbit Leaf Beetles With Contrasting Feeding Preferences

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The study revealed that the polyphagous A. indica exhibits higher genetic diversity, lower differentiation, and higher gene flow than the oligophagous A. lewisii, with these differences attributed to their distinct dietary preferences. A. lewisii populations showed significant isolation‐by‐distance, whereas A.

Occurrence and Human Health Implications of Legacy Organochlorine Pesticides and Their Metabolites in Fruits and Vegetables of Bangladesh

Food Safety and Health, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 359-373, April 2026.
Multiple OCP isomers and/or metabolites along with their parent compounds were detected in commonly consumed fruits and vegetables of Bangladesh, possibly attributed to both recently and historically applied OCPs. However, all the detected values were below 0.01 mg/kg, indicating no potential human health risks through dietary intake. ABSTRACT Globally,
