Viral and Host Factors Involved in Host Gain and Host Loss by Tomato Leaf Curl Begomoviruses in Tomato and Cucumbers

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Begomoviruses have jumped hosts between tomatoes and cucumbers, and we found that a short region (transcriptional activator and replication enhancer proteins, TrAp and REn) of tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus is mainly responsible for host jump. ABSTRACT Begomoviruses transmitted by whiteflies cause severe crop losses worldwide.

Reduction of Bitterness of the Bitter Gourd by Katsuobushi

Nippon Shokuhin Kagaku Kogaku Kaishi, 2008
ゴーヤ料理にかつお節がしばしば使用されることに注目し，かつお節の苦味低減作用について検討した．（1）生ゴーヤおよびゴーヤチャンプルの苦味強度はかつお節をまぶすことによって著しく低下した．（2）苦味抑制効果はかつお節エキスよりもかつお節エキス調製後のだしがらに著しく認められ，ゴーヤエキスにかつお節だしがらを加えて乳鉢でよく混和したところ，その上清の苦味は大きく減少していた．（3） かつお節だしがらを詰めたカラムを作成しそれにゴーヤエキスを通したところ，ゴーヤ中の苦味成分はカラムに強く吸着し蒸留水では溶出されなかったが60％エタノールによって溶出された．これらの結果から，かつお節にはゴーヤ中の苦味物質を強く吸着する性質があることがわかり ...

Understanding the dynamic nature of plant lipid anabolic and catabolic metabolism is key to sustainable oilseed engineering

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2196-2214, March 2026.
Summary Plant‐derived oils are essential sources of reduced carbon and various fatty acid (FA) structures for food, biofuels, and the oleochemical industry. Despite extensive efforts, engineering mainstream oilseed crops to produce high levels of industrially valuable unusual FAs (UFAs) remains challenging.

Pleiotropic mutation in a tendril TCP gene underlies the yield‐enhancing multiple‐flowering trait in summer squash (Cucurbita pepo)

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 6, March 2026.
SUMMARY Crop yield is a focal point in plant breeding. Regulation of lateral budding through apical dominance was a central target of crop domestication, directly affecting crop production. The young fruits of Cucurbita pepo, summer squash, are produced on plants characterized by apical dominance and differentiation of a single flower bud per leaf axil.
