A Novel AP2/ERF Transcription Factor Controls Trichome Initiation and Fruit Development in Cucumber

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trichomes, the hair‐like outgrowths of the plant epidermis, are critical for defence, reproduction and development. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing their initiation remain elusive. Here, we identified CsGL2, an AP2/ERF transcription factor, as a key integrator controlling trichome initiation and fruit development in ...

Additive Variance and Open‐Pollinated Progenies Under Mixed Mating

Plant 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.

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

Horticultural 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.

Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus: A persistent seed‐borne threat to cucurbits

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is a highly stable, seed‐borne tobamovirus that threatens global cucurbit production. Its efficient mechanical and seed transmission, long‐term environmental persistence, and the spread of Clade II CGMMV isolates drive its rapid dissemination and cause severe yield losses.

Antioxidant Activity and Inhibition of Carbohydrate Hydrolyzing Enzymes by Underutilized Parts From Some Plant‐Based Foods and Their Effect on Postprandial Hyperglycemia

Food Chemistry International, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 285-294, June 2026.
The underutilized parts viz: pawpaw seed, banana, plantain, and potato peels showed promising antioxidant and inhibition of α‐amylase and α‐glucosidase activities (IC50 values ≤ 100 μg/mL). Similarly, pawpaw seed, banana, plantain, and potato peels reduced postprandial hyperglycemia in sucrose‐ and maltose‐induced hyperglycemia in rats.

Exploring Floristic Diversity and Medicinal Plant Uses in Venda, Limpopo, South Africa

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants have been an important source of medicine for thousands of years. To better understand the current diversity and usage of medicinal plants, floristic studies are essential. This report documents an expedition conducted in the Venda region of Limpopo, South Africa. The study was carried out in Shanzha and surrounding villages, as well as

Citron—Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Mansf. var. citroides (Bailey) Mansf.

EDIS, 2003
This document describes the citron melon (Citrullus lanatus var. citroides), a fruit closely related to watermelon but inedible when raw. Often called stock or preserving melon, it is distinct from the citrus citron. The fruit is small, tough, and white-

Improvement of Rheological, Textural and Sensorial Properties of Dough and Enriched Cakes by Addition of Cucumis melo L. Peels Powder

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Melon peel powder (MPP) exhibited interesting functional properties as water holding and oil binding capacities. The integration of MPP at diverse levels (10%, 20%, and 30%) was found to affect the rheological and textural features of the doughs. The partial replacement of wheat flour with MPP enhanced substantially the texture profile of MPP‐enriched ...
