Transcription Factor CsWIN1 Regulates Pericarp Wax Biosynthesis in Cucumber Grafted on Pumpkin

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Pericarp wax of cucumber is an important economic trait, determining sales and marketing. Grafting of cucumber onto pumpkin rootstock (Cucurbita moschata) is an effective way to produce glossy cucumber fruits.

Gendered Pathways to Work–Family Balance and Their Consequences: Insights From Dual‐Career Faculty Couples

Human Resource Development Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines gendered work–family balance (WFB) experiences among dual‐career academic couples at U.S. research‐intensive universities. By comparing faculty couples who shared the same or similar professional and family contexts, the study explores how gendered demands, challenges, resources, and strategies shaped distinct WFB outcomes.

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

A synthetic community promotes macadamia growth via root‐microbe interactions and systemic plant responses

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
We employed an 18‐month pot experiment and an integrated multi‐omics approach to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying synthetic community (SynCom)‐mediated macadamia growth promotion. SynCom inoculation enhanced soil nitrogen cycling and potential nutrient (e.g., iron) acquisition.

Insecticides to Control Cucumber Beetles in Spring Cucumbers, 1995 [PDF]

Arthropod Management Tests, 1996
Abstract Cucumbers were planted on 25 May at the Eastern Shore Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Painter, VA. Each plot consisted of two 25ft long rows planted on 5ft row spacing. Plots were separated from each other by 10ft of bare ground and treatments were replicated 4 times in a randomized, complete block design. Furadan 4F

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, EarlyView.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Human Health Risk Assessment From Exposure to Toxic Metals in Soils and Leafy Vegetables in Smallholder Farms of Northeastern Brazil

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assessed human health risks associated with exposure to potentially toxic metals (PTMs) in soils and leafy vegetables cultivated in smallholder agricultural systems in Northeastern Brazil. Soil and vegetable samples were collected from 18 agricultural areas and analyzed for cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), nickel
