Advancing Fruit Bioimpedance Monitoring With Sustainable, Soft, And Bio‐Based Electrodes Beyond ECG

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Electrical impedance spectroscopy enables non‐destructive fruit quality monitoring, but conventional ECG and needle electrodes compromise signal stability, fruit physiology, and sustainability. This perspective highlights the transition toward soft, biocompatible, and biodegradable electrode interfaces based on natural substrates, bio‐derived ...

Exogenous application of melatonin improves the growth and physiological properties of blueberry seedlings under salt stress

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2023
Melatonin is a secondary messenger in plants that is involved in the regulation of abiotic stress responses, but it is unclear whether it enhances the adaptive capacity of blueberries to cope with salinity stress.

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Transcriptome analysis identifies genes related to the waxy coating on blueberry fruit in two northern-adapted rabbiteye breeding populations

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Blueberry is of high economic value. Most blueberry varieties selected for the fresh market have an appealing light blue coating or “bloom” on the fruit due to the presence of a visible heavy epicuticular wax layer. This waxy layer also serves

Improving Rabbiteye Blueberry Performance in a Calcareous Soil by Growing Plants in Pits Filled with Low-CaCO₃ Growth Media

Agronomy, 2022
Calcareous soils are not suitable for blueberry cultivation. Our aim was to improve the performance of blueberry plants in calcareous soils by using pits filled with growth media in combination with high levels of RNH4+ (proportion of N-NH4+ among the ...

Formation and Characterization of Insoluble Anthocyanins‐λ‐carrageenan Biopolyelectrolyte Complexes: Structural Morphology, Thermal Stability, and Release Dynamics

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
Insoluble biopolyelectrolyte complexes formed between blackberry anthocyanins and λ‐carrageenan are investigated. Optimal complexation occurs at low carrageenan ratios and acidic pH, producing porous hydrogel‐like structures with enhanced thermal stability.

Guidelines for the preparation of hydrogels with protective function

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract As three dimensional network structure functional materials, protective hydrogels, with their excellent biocompatibility, high water content, and the ability to provide physical barriers and regulate the environment for active substances/cells, have shown broad prospects in fields such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, and food ...
