Additive Variance and Open‐Pollinated Progenies Under Mixed Mating

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open‐pollinated progeny tests are still widely interpreted as if all the individuals within a maternal family were true half‐sibs. However, in species with mixed mating systems, this assumption is often biologically unrealistic and may bias the estimation of the additive variance, narrow‐sense heritability and expected selection gains.

Bioconversion and characterization of watermelon rind waste‐based microcrystalline cellulose: A green alternative to synthetic reinforcements

open access: yesPolymer International, Volume 75, Issue 9, Page 818-831, September 2026.
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was extracted from watermelon rind using acid hydrolysis. MCC can be efficiently used as reinforcement in biofilms and biocomposites. Abstract The increasing accumulation of agricultural waste from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) represents a substantial environmental concern, particularly in view of the extensive ...

Using ecoinformatics to evaluate the impact of crop and herbicide rotations on herbicide intensity

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8734-8746, September 2026.
Maize fields with cotton in rotation receive lower herbicide application than fields without cotton. Abstract BACKGROUND Crop rotation is a central component of integrated weed management (IWM) under real‐world conditions, yet its impact on herbicide use remains unclear. To address this challenge, we developed an ecoinformatics‐driven analysis approach

Streamlined Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated hairy root transformation for efficient CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing evaluation in diverse Citrullus cultivars

open access: yesHorticultural Plant Journal
The CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing system serves as a pivotal tool for enhancing crop genetics. Within this system, single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) are instrumental in the precise cleavage of DNA double strands.

Squash silverleaf disorder and whitefly (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1) infestation: Implications for plant disease management in a changing climate

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 2, September 2026.
Squash Silverleaf Disorder (SLD) is growing in its economic impact due to the invasive behaviour of the silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1). In this review we summarize what is currently known about the whitefly‐squash interaction, how both the disease and the whitefly are being affected by climate change, and discuss current and novel ...

Pollination ecology of Citrullus lanatus at Yatta, Kenya [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2004
Pollination ecology was investigated in Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai, which is a species vulnerable to pollinator loss. It was found that this species depends heavily on the honeybee, Apis mellifera L., as the main pollinator. Other pollen vectors identified include Xylocopa bees, halictid bees, Hypotrigona bees, flies and beetles ...
