Genetic insights into bacterial wilt resistance using genomic prediction and association mapping in blueberry [PDF]

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia spp., poses a major threat to blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) production due to its persistence and rapid spread through soil and infected stock, highlighting the need for genetic insights to guide breeding strategies. This study investigated the genetic basis of bacterial wilt resistance in blueberry using

Nicotinamide riboside and pterostilbene reduces markers of hepatic inflammation in NAFLD: A double‐blind, placebo‐controlled clinical trial

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
NRPT 1X reduces ALT and ceramide 14:0 in 65% of subjects as compared to only 28% in the placebo group. Abstract Background and Aims The prevalence of NAFLD is increasing globally and on a path to becoming the most frequent cause of chronic liver disease. Strategies for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD are urgently needed.

Physicochemical, Bioactive, and Clinical Evaluation of Blueberry‐Enriched Kombucha as a Functional Beverage [PDF]

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to develop a blueberry‐flavored kombucha and evaluate its functional properties and effects on human intestinal health. The beverage was produced from green tea and sucrose, fermented with a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts (SCOBY), followed by the addition of blueberry syrup and a second fermentation stage.

Bacteriophages Control Epiphytic Pseudomonas syringae Populations in Highbush Blueberry Leaves [PDF]

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2026.
The Pseudomonas syringae complex (Psc) is a group of globally distributed phytopathogens responsible for substantial agricultural losses. Here, we established a framework for the systematic identification and evaluation of bacteriophages targeting Psc strains isolated from highbush blueberries and identified candidate phages capable of suppressing ...

Underground Signals: The Ecological Power of Root Volatiles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Root volatiles mediate rhizosphere chemical communication, shaping interactions among plants, microbes, herbivores, and natural enemies. Their production, transport, and perception underpin ecological adaptation, multitrophic interactions, and plant resilience, offering opportunities for sustainable crop protection, resilient agroecosystems, and ...

Supramolecular Zinc–Polyphenol Coordination Assemblies Mitigate Colonic Inflammation by Regulating Mucosal Barrier and Microbiome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A carrier‐free zinc‐coordinated polyphenol nanoplatform (ZnCA NPs) is designed as an “all‐in‐one” therapeutic strategy for intestinal inflammation. The ZnCA NPs exhibit enhanced colonic accumulation and broad‐spectrum reactive oxygen and nitrogen species scavenging.

Extreme Weather Events and Consumer Food Responses

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates consumer food responses to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which affected a swath of the Southeastern U.S. in 2024. Using representative consumer survey data from six affected states, we analyze 10 distinct food responses classified into ex ante and ex post responses, and examine their associations with food insufficiency

Low Participation and Risk Reduction Potential of Supplemental Crop Insurance in the United States

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Federally subsidized crop insurance is a cornerstone of U.S. farm risk management, yet policies with the greatest share of participation only trigger indemnities after losses exceed 15%. Supplemental insurance was introduced to cover part of this deductible, but participation remains largely unchanged.

Reproductive stages in lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) occur earlier with increasing temperature

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.

The Influence of Incongruent Line Extensions on Choice of a Brand's Pre‐Existing Products: The Mediating Role of Curiosity

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many brands have added highly incongruent products to their product lines, such as Lay's Chicken and Waffles Potato Chips, Blueberry Cheerios, and Carrot Cake Oreos. This paper investigates how highly incongruent products influence the choice of pre‐existing items in the product line.
